I went to a new doctor about two weeks ago. She ordered some tests for me.
I am now getting PT twice a week. I haven't had PT for eight years so it has made my frozen ankle a bit sore. I am also gettilng a different kind of brace for my RSD foot and a lift for my right leg because it is shorter than my left.
She told me to be very, very careful because my hips have osteoporosis and my spine shows osteopena (sp) which is the beginning of osteoporosis.
She thought I may have had a stroke, so she ordered an MRI. I did have a mild one at one time. I also have sinusitis. I caught a cold on Nov 15 and still don't feel well. Now I know what it is and can call my PCP and get some meds.
Just think! I will get over this cold AND have a handy dandy new brace AND will be able to walk straight with even legs! The stroke explains the problems I have with my left hand (I am left handed). Now if I can just remember where I lost my memory.
I am so glad to find this new doctor. She actually took the time to examine me and to explain in detail what she thought and what we could try.
Wishing all of you painfree days. Lil
