Default I gave in finally..

Ok so I couldnt take it anymore (plus I ran out of excuses lol) & finally gave in & I went to the hospital last night shockingly they took me straight back when I mentioned my doctor thinking I may have a spinal infection, which was nice since I was expecting on having to sit in the waiting area for however long like normal. So of course I had to get an IV which I always hate getting done & will never get used to so they could get blood (lots of it ) run some tests and give me meds which at least took the edge off the pain for a little while of course per my norm nothing showed in the bloodwork which unless it's really super bad or off nothing usually shows in my bloodwork for what ever reason it's how Ive always been but they are also doing cultures which take 72hrs before I will hear anything on that. So I still dont have any clue as to whats going on why Im in such horriable pain & can hardly walk but so far @ least it doesnt look like a spinal infection so thats a good thing. I see the doc again the 28th but gotta call tomorrow let him know bout hospital visit & whats going on still. I also want to thank all of you for your kind words thoughts & prayers that means so much to me I cant even tell u just how much.

Hi Heidi, I'm so so glad you were able to get some treatment without waiting a century in pain. I can't tolerate an hour sometimes. I hope you can use those medicines to to help you rest . My temptation is to try to do more, not always good wisdom.

Good girl for taking care of yourself & going in. it's so hard for us to know if it's the CRPS acting up or something else that really needs attention ASAP.
Hope you get some relief! keep us posted with results!
