Just need to vent...
these past 2 weeks have been horrible. I'm typically in pain of some sort, but 2 weekends ago, I was in such severe abdominal/pelvic pain, my boyfriend forced (ok not really...but I prob wouldn;t have gone if it weren't for him) me to go to the ER. Course they found nothing & ended up putting me through some of the most painful exams i have ever felt in my entire life.
Anyways, I recovered from that & then proceeded to have my "normal" leg & back pain exacerbeted horribly ALL last week. I was almost crying in my clinic my leg hurt so bad . The other PTs didn't even want to treat me cause I Was so irritated/flared up.
Then over this past weekend I had an episode where I totally lost my left peripheral vision...it was scary as crap. That is now back...but now my freaking right arm has hurt ever since sunday.
I kinda know what is wrong, but I can't treat myself & it is so flared up, that again, a lot of the treatment is just taking NSAIDs to help it calm down. It sucked cause I'd be treating patients (and I have to use my arm/strength a LOT) & my hand would just go totally weak & be sooo painful . My arm just friggin hurts now. Even typing this friggin hurts. I'm pretty confident it is from my neck, which makes it even worse.
Ugh, I am just being whiny. My bf is all "go to the doctor", but I think so much of it is stress related. I just got blood tests in the ER & everything was normal, so I can't imagine what else they would do. I have an acupuncture appt on Tues, so hopefully that can help calm down my nervous system.
I'm sick of being in pain.
/end rant.
