Some sort of relief... Maybe?

[Guest guest]

Well I went to the doctor today because I really couldn't stand the

pain anymore. I went on my crutches because it really hurt to put a

lot lot of pressure on my leg.

My GP was wonderful! He gave me a cortisone injection into my knee.

He said he doesn't guarentee it to help, but I said it's okay I'll

try anything at this point. (At this point in the day I'm not sure

if it's helped or not... time will tell I guess!) Also he gave me

some real pain killers for the pain (tylenol 3's). Also he had me do

an x-ray of my knee (FINALLY! No one's ever suggested it!!!!) He is

also getting my MRI's from another hospital I got it done at so he

can see them for himself. He said it's possible I could possibly get

in sooner for a sugery with another OS closer to where I'm at but

it's a whole new process of starting over with a new doctor so I'm

best to just stick with the OS I'm with and be persistant. (Aka call

them once a week and ask if there are any cancellations or what not)

Anyways it's not much but at least it's some sort of a start!!!
