Yeah, really.. nine doctors; three blood tests; three urine tests; abdominal, chest, leg and pelvic x-rays; one bone scan and one CT scan later.. and nobody's been able to diagnose the source of my leg pain. The best guess, to date, is a pinched nerve, either in my L5 or in my pelvis, but I have to 89 days for an MRI-assuming I get on the waiting list.

Me: "My CT scan today came back negative."
Dad: "That's good."
Me: "...Yeah, in that I'm not dying. It also means they can't treat me."
Dad; "Oh yeah. That's not so good."
