It was a follow-up appointment, but the last time he did any physical assessment was back in June 2008. It just seems odd to me.
Over the past month or so, I've been experiencing a really sharp pain in my left leg/hip/butt region. Almost every morning and night (right before bed time) I get this sharp pain (think like an ice cream headache). Eventually it'll dull down into a throb that goes down my leg. I've had some nights where the pain was so bad that I had trouble falling asleep. My neuro calls this "normal aches and pains." He told me to take Aleve.
I don't know. Perhaps I'm being hyper-aware, and this really isn't anything to worry about. I would've preferred a kind explanation rather than a blow-off, though!
