My legs, ankles and feet have been swelling and tonight, it's really painfl. My PT discovered that my SI joint isn't moving and there's fluid and swelling on the left side. That's the leg that's been killing me with what I guess is sciatic nerve pain.

I can barely walk it hurts so much. The woman I see for botanical tinctures is bringing something tomorrow to reduce the swelling. But I want to know what the heck is going on! My PT sent a report to my doc, but who knows when she'll read it. I'm hoping for a steroid taper to calm this down, but my doc is only in 2 days a week so I'd have to wait until Monday

God...I hate the whole system and I'm not too pleased with my neglectful doc, either. It took 2 1/2 weeks for my last call to be answered. I think she's trying to kill me!

I'm rambling so I better stop, now. I just feel so alone, sick and a little scared.
