OK, this is me whining...again.
I began having terrible pain in my right leg last Tuesday. I had a doctor's appointment yesterday; the doctor sent me for a Doppler test to rule out a blood clot in my leg. That test was negative.
The doctor told me to take pain medication, stay home from work for two more days, elevate my legs, and come back next Monday if the pain didn't subside. Meanwhile, I can't stand, sit, walk, or drive without terrible pain, and that's WITH the pain medication!
kwil is taking me back to the doctor tomorrow; I don't have an appointment, so we're just going in when the office opens. I can't return to work like this; I can barely move! So, please send some kind thoughts my way.
As a related question, is it just me, or does anyone else have this type of trouble with doctors? I just can't understand how a doctor could tell me to wait for a week when I'm in terrible pain.
