What? Me, Worry?

So, for the past couple of months, I've been having this annoying pain in my left hip. I went to the doctor and he said "You put the lime in the coconut, you drink it all up!" Okay, he didn't say that; he said he thought I might just have pulled something and to use some pain killers, and continue the physical therapy I had been doing to keep my ( Read more... )

You could always try to think about it as a hypospray from ST. Maybe that would help?

In other news Yay for finding it before it gets worse ANeD for getting it treated. My current GF has one of those and I know how it can affect her.

For the record, I would have exactly the same reaction. Hope it went okay, and that it will make you feel better!

Yea, I've had 3 MRIs. They are loud! Then I heard from a friend who had one in California, and she got to watch TV on a small screen while she was in the tube. Jealous, I was. Hey, make them give you the films. They are yours anyways, and MRI prints are way more detailed and awesome than Xrays.

As for the needle in the spine... been there too. It does sound crazy and painful, but it really isn't so bad nowadays. (Realizing now that as I write this, you must have had the procedure yesterday so you've already ben through it all. Oh well.)

Seriously, I know you have this aversion to lying around when you're not feeling well, but don't push this one. Drink a lot of caffeine and stay on your back as much as possible. You want that needle hole to patch up as quickly as possible, and being up and moving just means you'll be leaking more cerebral-spinal fluid than you really want to. Losing CSF pulls on the brainstem, which is somewhat important as I hear.

OK I'll stop lecturing now.

Get well!
