Thank you. I don't think anything is broken. I'm having an x-ray on Monday. I'm feeling quite relaxed now with barely any pain, and I haven't had a pill since last night. I am VERY sensitive to drugs, so it doesn't take much to mellow me out. Actually, I only take HALF the prescribed pill, and it still has quite a effect.
Yes, Joan, taking it easy for a few days & lounging by the pool/having others cook out for you sounds wonderful & perhaps just the right prescription for healing...not to mention Sid doing better!! If you're through with your drugs, perhaps you can share with those of us who need 'a little something more' ;)
I'm really sorry you hurt yourself. If you need exrays, I hope they will pick up the most minute little fracture. They can raise all kinds of problems later on if not taken care of quickly. My prayers are with you--recouperate quickly. You don't need this on top of everything else you are dealing with.
No, it's been my experience that x-rays don't pick up minute fractures, but I've learned to advocate for myself, so if nothing shows up, I will ask for an MRI. It may be a severe muscle strain and aggravated arthritis, but it may be not, and I want to know.
I've been guilty of neglecting my own health for the two years we've been here in Florida, because we've been so wrapped up in all of Sid's doctor's appointments and emergencies. It's time for me now.
Natsmom,
Sorry, none for you. I'm hanging onto these drugs. Today was the first time in ages that I can remember being laid back without a care in the world. The pain is much better tonight, so I'll put my little bottle away for when it flares up again.
I only hope that when I start taking the Zoloft, it mellows me out as much.
