Do I have to?
I have to go to the Dr. today. Yay.
Since before Christmas I have had this numming and weak feeling in my left foot/ankle. I chalked it up to an old dance injury that is probably being annoyed due to wearing heels everyday.
Well...it hasn't gone away, if anything it's gotten worse, by traveling up the outside of my leg and sometimes being a weird bluish color.
So I called Dr.s trying to establish a PCP here and every nurse told me that I couldn't get in for a month, so I should probably get to the ER to check it out.
That makes sense doesnt' it? They won't squeeze me in, but apparently it's important enough to warrant the ER. Great
So I go last Thurs. after work and I have never been in a nicer staffed ER in my life! But they asked every question imaginable and had me walk up and down the hallway every way imaginable. It's not a blood clot because my pulses and circulation are great....but it is "something" obviously.
So this brings us to now. I have to see a neurologist to get an MRI done on my back. It seems that if I have a nerve problem of sorts this will tell what it is. Great.
BUT before I can get into them I have to see a PCP...isnt' that what I wanted in the first place? So seeing as I've been to the ER allready for this, one worked me in today at 1pm. So after this appointment they are supposed to get me into the neurologist way fast. Hopefully.
This is all just a big annoyance to me, but I know that something is up and it needs to get figured out.
So say a prayer that everything is o.k and it's only something minor like a pinched nerve, etc..
