Sunday night my right arm blew out , probably from doing most of the work all this time because my left arm has been useless . My arms are competing for which can hurt the most prize. I can't use a mouse , so I am slowly tapping this out on my kindle. Apparently I need to grow a third arm. Ha Ha. I can only sleep with both arms on 2 pillows each just so and sometimes it has to be on the reclining couch. The whole thing is ridiculous.

I see my medical Dr Thursday . In addition to her looking at my arms , I have to discuss the awful appt with the ortho Dr and what this Dr did to my records. Not only did this Dr give me 2 inappropriate diagnostic codes re my pain meds , I saw the records from my appt and they are full of lies and ridiculous conclusions on her part. The whole thing is like an episode of the twilight zone. I feel like someone that has been framed. It is unreal. So, between now and Thursday I need to print the records and get my thoughts and what really happened on paper so that I am prepared and can have an intelligent conversation about this.

I haven't been doing check in because I feel bad that I can't respond to everyone.

Oh, you poor dear. I'm so sorry that you are in so much pain. I hope your appointment is productive. Don't worry about responding to everyone. I don't do that either, on my bad days. Take care.

Oh, Milly, so sorry. I hope you are going to another orthopod.

I know how you feel. Eventually you will get out of the medical twilight zone.

Take it easy and feel better.

I feel for you. I had an episode when both arms were in such pain. Sleeping was nearly impossible. I pray that you get better very, very soon.

I sent a formal complaint to my insurance about a urologist. Very unprofessional and I won't stand to be treated that way. Perhaps this is something you might do.

Milily, hang in there. I feel for you and your struggles. Don't let the Dr or your med records get you down. I've seen mine and didn't like them either. Docs tend to put us in the "nut job" category when they can't figure out what is wrong. Looking back, I see that I have had fibro symptoms for nearly 30 years, but the docs couldn't recognize it back then. So my records reflect their ignorance of the condition. You are taking the right approach by addressing it in a calm and intelligent manner.

Oh, and I agree with other....don't worry about check-in. I miss it a lot too. Just know that we are all here for you when you feel well enough to post again.
