Rant...

I had my MRI then my follow-up with my orthopedic doctor.....Now my Rant....

I went to my follow-up and got back into the examination room...waited for a little bit...seemed like forever....Doctor comes in and states the MRI is basically showed what we suspected Patellofemoral pain /Arthritis...Then he also states that's what happens when you get old and grey....Then I asked what I could do to help it...Take the elevator he stated...and then asked if I want paperwork to prove that I was there if so...you will have to wait for the nurse to come in.....He didn't even touch my knee at all...He acted like I was just wasting his time.......grrrr...I hate when doctors don't give me any respect to their patients....then the nurse comes in who was nice somewhat...We talked about chickens and I had told her I had fallen would have told t he doctor that if he would have given me any respect...anyway she was telling me the she had a form of arthritis and she was going to give her chickens to her daughter and she was going to try and slow down alittle and that she was going to make things easy on her....I feel like she basically was telling me I need to make things easy on myself as well.....anyway I told her that I was going to keep fighting ....

That's my rant about the ortho doctor.....

Early in the week I had labs to be done, So my calcium come back alittle high ....was told by my primary to stop taking anything over the counter with calcium...and keep track of things I ate with calcium for a few days...So I googled it and guess what I found that your parathyroid can cause you to have alittle high calcium levels on labs....So I have asked for that lab....

that's where I stand at right now.....

Dizzness......

Sometime I feel dizzy. Last week We went to Sonic for a treat ( Sonic blast ) my eyes started to feel funny then ....I got very dizzy, Im glad I was driving at that time...I sent a message to my primary doctor and she got back to me today and she ordered my labs that was supposed to be done in September, but she wants them to be done in the next 30 days......So I need to go get them done sometime soon....maybe I will find out what is the reason for the dizziness....at times after I eat I have been getting dizzy as well.......

When she added the cholesterol med  she stated that I could develop diabetes.....I wonder???????

patellofemoral pain syndrome

Now...I was having knee pain in both knees, sometimes it would feel like they would lock up.
I was due to see my primary so....waited until I seen her....
So I went to go see her and she didn't like my cholesterol level so she put me on a med for that, then put me on a muscle relaxer , sometimes I feel the need to get up and move( restless leg syndrome)...then informed me I had arthritis in my both knees, she ordered a x-ray for both knees, referred me to an orthopedic doctor.

So went to the orthopedic doctor and he gave me a cortisone shot in both knees...
for the most  part they have helped, except the last few weeks, my left knee has been hurting.

Then out of the blew....a physical therapist called about scheduling me therapy session....Ok, I didn't know anything about the therapy....

I contacted the orthopedic doctor about the pain in the left knee and he is sending for a MRI  sometimes, just waiting for the call to get  the MRI....

I had my first PT today...my left knee hurts.....told me that I need to strengthen my thigh muscles to help with the knee pain.....to me that don't sound right....anywho...that's it for now
