Awww, Bram my heart goes out to you!
Hopefully you've had some rest & relief by the time you read this!
I like the advice given so far for you, the massage & epsom salt
sound best to me but I don't have your injury.
It seems like at the very least you should get some sort of injection
to get thru the worst of this.
I wish I could come & slap that rude Dr. for you!! I swear I just
don't understand the arrogant & dismissive attitude all while being CLUELESS!
You'd think it would humble them a little, but NO.
I know all too well what "feeling like such a burden" is like.
I would not wish anyone else to feel that way, I know it can be an
emotional "rabbit hole" (for me anyway).
Please take the help just for now and save that energy for calming
thoughts. I wish you the energy to seek relief no matter what the other
jerk Dr.s did to you.
