Howdy! This post is about me! Yay!!!
Where do I begin?! Back in December of 2011, there was this pain in my back, near my left scapula. (Scapula please......) anyway -- Since then, I have gone to the doctor several times, and I have had X-rays taken of my shoulder and chest; I was sent to a guy who deals with muscles and bones (I can't remember what he's called); I've been given a prescription for a nerve medicine (which I did not fill or take); I've been referred to a physical therapist; I've gone to a Chiropractor. All with no help in the end.
So -- I have switched doctors. Yay! First, I called the doctor's offices and requested this one doctor who I saw online at their web site, but I was told that he retired. : ( So I went back to the web site and found someone else, but she's on vacation right now, and she only takes two new patients a day, so........... my first appointment with her will be August 23rd!
That's a ways away, but I will wait. I need a second opinion!
I haven't had an MRI or a CT scan, so I am going to request that she order one of those. I am anxious to find out what the results are. The only thing is -- the pain hurts the most when I'm on my back at night. And you have to be on your back for an MRI or CT scan. But maybe the'll let me lie on my stomach with a pillow for my head. Otherwise, a few minutes into the scan, I'll be in a lot of pain and need to move!
We'll see what they say. So that's the next big thing in my life. Finding out why I'm having such pain in my back, left side, near the scapula.
I'll keep you posted. If I remember to! ; ) Ha ha!
