How Are You Feeling?

sounds like a subluxation in your neck/upper back - even the elbow thing stems from this area. i've had it more than a few times.

This has spurred me to FINALLY see a doctor, not at work. I had to pick a new one since I haven't seen one since I changed jobs and moved. They gave me naprelan 500 and Soma, did some blood work, and scheduled an ultrasound and an EMG. The therapist and people at work says it sounds like a pinched nerve. They are also looking at the possibility of tendinitis, neuropathy, or carpal tunnel. Joy, oh joy!

in all seriousness, please see a chiropractor before you try any form of invasive treatment.

Thanks for the reminder. As much as I am against doing anything invasive if I can get away with it, sometimes you are so desperate for relief you forget to say "can this be done, or anything noninvasive?" you just accept the "you need this"

I am not a good patient. I am a big pain in the ass. I am an ICU nurse, I know everything, lol. I should have asked for better pain meds. Naproxen? Okay, yes, I need the anti-inflammatory, but this pain is ridiculous. However, this was the first time I have seen this Doctor. If you go in saying this isn't strong enough and ask for something stronger, they see you as a drug seeker if they don't know you. I know the meds because I am a nurse. I see what works and what doesn't. I also have a high pain tolerance and HATE taking ANYTHING. If I ask for a drug, I NEED it. My old doctor knew me, so I had no worries about that. I would just tell him. I'm giving it a chance though, it is a higher dose. I may be making a phone call later to tell them it's not working and may end up calling in the next 2 days at work if this pain isn't controlled.

    • Getting my taxes setup for filing now before the new admiration takes office. 
    • I will say it isn't all bad yet though.  We survived four years of the orange asshole.  We might survive another four.  All is not lost, until it is. There are those on that side that are going to do everything in their power to take and keep that power though.  Instead of the illusion of a one party system masquerading as a two party system, it really will just be a one party system.  People are talking about actively moving out of the US and renouncing their citizenship, or revolution if it comes to that. The woke and DEI scare tactics of the Russians, Chinese, and others have set in.  They have been trying to debase the USA for decades now ever since the world wars and I think  it's really starting to pick up steam.  All isn't lost yet, but it's currently 90 seconds to midnight, and that number is decreasing all the time. We just have to wait and see.  If people hit their breaking point by losing their comfort and convenience (and possibly their food/housing) then people may be held accountable for their misdeeds. Also the president is now a convicted felon so...  LOCK HIM UP!
