I always put off calling the doctor for as long as I have to and then put off even longer. I am bad, bad patient. Anyway I had been having pains in my left upper arms, very similar to when I had my cervical disc herniation. So i finally called and got an appointment for tomorrow. She call me today and said she has a cancelation and could i get there in one hour! Yippe Skippy. Yes I could plus my husband wasn't home which meant hat i cold just get in the car, put the air on what i wanted, the radio on what I wanted and take a nice drive across town.Freedom!!!!!! so of course now that i am ther, i don't ave any pan. Also over the weekend I developed some sort of environmental allergy. Or at lest that is what i diagnosed myself with. If I diagnose myself then why do I even need to go to a doctor. But I was miserable and I think the poor cat was afraid to be in the same room with me lest I started one of my sneezing fits again. But what happens today when I wake up? No symptoms!!!!!!! I hate that. But I talked to her about it anyway. She orderd me to stay onmy Loratidine and then added Flonase

So we talked in depth about my arm. So in demonstrating to her what makes the pain, lifting my arm up to pet my cat who is lying on the tops of the couch so i can pet and play. Things like that. The terrible proccess of drying and curling my ahir, it wa agreed that I should have an MRI so see if there is any nerve impingement which may need surgery. Oh I hate that word surgey. I not a woos by any means i just don't like the inconvenience of it, the get one insurance bill this month and the anesthesiolgist another month and pathologitst another. My sister could live under the knife if she could. it drives her life. She wouldn't have anything to talk about.

Hope everything goes ok for you. One time I had something close to the same. And yes I did have to have surgery. My problem was of a shoulder bone which was a little to long and he went in and had to file it down. Then I was in physical treatment for a bit. Hope you have a fast recovery.
