Good news and bad news.
Good news:
It seems as though my ear has stopped bothering me. The docotr had me go on a soft diet, (eat only soft foods, take ibuprofen and do a heating pad on the ear). I did this for about 1 week, eating soft food got pretty old after a while. I have a hearing test scheduled for next week that I'm gonna keep.
Bad news:
Back in April o I injured me knee , I thought the pain would go away it didn't.
I'm still not sure how I injured it. Anyways, I called to make an appointment, well the doctor couldn't see me for 2 months. :mad: I tried to get in earlier but didn't have much luck. Well yesterday was my appointment. I finally found out what is going on. This is happening in both knees, the right one is worse than the left. I have 2 bones in both knees, that are hitting one another. So I feel lots of pain just walking. I haven't been able to drive too much. At the end of the day, I feel as though someone is pulling at my legs like taffy. Sometimes it feels like someone is squeezing the heck out of my knee. Anways, I'm told that I have to go for physical therapy. So I'm going to call today to see if I can get in sometime this week. I have to see the doctor in 6 weeks to see if the physical therapy worked. If it hasn't worked he may have to do a cortisone shot. Which I want to completely avoid.
Also, why do they always ask how much you weigh no matter what problem you go in for? I was afraid to weigh myself before I went in, so I gave myself a good number, is that bad or what?
