The Orthopedic consult happened yesterday...he thinks my hips, knees and ankles are just fine. "It must be a problem with your back...sciatica maybe...I don't do backs...I will send you for more X rays and for a Physical Therapy consult. You should really take 2,000 units of Vitamin D a day it might make a difference. You can see the PA in our Department maybe he can steer you the right way."
And how long have I been complaining of this pain...about 2 1/2 years...maybe longer...I have been to PT previously and I do the exercises they recommended at that time.
On other high notes...I am still in limbo with the Rheumatology second opinion at a different clinic (we will call you in 3-4 weeks to set up an appointment)and the latest arthritis med that my Rheumatologist ordered must be lost in the insurance pipeline someplace. OK not so fine.
What ever. I was so NOT impressed with the Dr I saw yesterday....even if I required surgery...I would limp off into the sunset.
I take part of a THC Sativa Gummy...it is supposed to make me more energenic and have less pain...it just makes me sleepy. The THC Indica Gummy seems to help more with my pain and of course makes me sleepy too. I have not tried the ones with THC, CBD and CBN ...yet...of course if I can get comfortable and get to sleep I have no pain.
We had one day of no wildfire smoke and now we have it again. Far Guy is staying mostly inside.
