Yay, more fun with rehab~
Rehab today, fun fun. XD
My leg is in crap shape thanks to yesterday, and all different places were hurting. I told the rehab guy I had done too much yesterday, and while he was trying to figure something out, he asked if I had been wearing heels. I was like, "Dude, no, I'm too tall for heels!" and he asked how tall I was. I told him, and he went, "You're taller than me!" *ded* I have no idea how he hadn't really realized it until just then, but yeah. XDDD
He pretty much, though, confirmed what I had feared, which is that since one place is hurt, everywhere else is trying to compensate, and screwing itself up...which is why multiple places are starting to hurt like a mofo, including the same ligament on the opposite leg. So he went, "You need to see the doctor this week or Saturday." Last week, he'd said "See a doctor some time this month," now it's "this week," so yeah, looks like this week is going to be doctor week--rehab this morning, the internal medicine guy for my stomach tomorrow, and Saturday I get to traipse down near work to see an orthopedics guy about my failtastic ligaments. I'm going to try to find the letter from my doctor in Gunma to give to this guy, so he can see what my history is, and ask about if I have some kind of genetic condition causing my ligaments to be so full of fail. Someone asked me about Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and I looked at one of the pictures on the wiki page about it of someone stretching out their skin, and went, "Wait, that's not normal?") I'm not sure if it's as bad as that, but I'm pretty sure at the very least I have Hypermobility Syndrome--mainly, I would just like a name to what is wrong and not just "my ligaments are all fucked." asdfghjkl;
