Default I Called Him a Clod

Okay, it just might be time for me to eat a little crow.
That Ortho I saw yesterday...who didn't even look at my MRI, who never touched me, only looked at me and said "it's not the rotator and it's not TOS". The one who would only give me a steroid and darvocet and spent all of 3 minutes with me.
I started the two meds yesterday, and last night was the best night of sleep I have had in weeks. (yay!!!!!!!!)
It may be a little premature to get this excited, but I only woke once last night with tingling fingers and moderate burning pain in the forearm. As I type here, my hands are going numb, wrist aching like carpel tunnel but yesterday I had to stop typing after every word due to the pain. This morning I am making it through entire sentences!!!
Could the clod be on to something?!
Perhaps it is a mixture between what I've done, and the meds he prescribed.

What he did:
  • Prescribed Medrol
  • Prescribed Darvocet

What I did:
  • Worked on improving my posture
  • Used heat and vibrating massage on neck and shoulder
  • Rested
  • Time off work (this is my 3rd day off)

I feel so much better today it is amazing. Doctor, me or both? Opinions?
