Ok so the appointment was a rollercoaster.
They told me on Tuesday when I had to confirm Iām still coming for Wednesday to come in at 3:30pm idk why when they initially told me that my appointment is at 4pm. Anyway. I left work at 3:15pm and prayed to god that an uber will take me from work to the doctors office even tho the distance was like uhm like 10min walk around 550m. Luckily someone took my request and I arrived in time yay.
Then I got a paper from the desk lady I had to give the doc so she can cross from a list what kind of appointment I had to then me after paying.
Then the desk lady told me I can enter the doc office and I was confused bcs I was sure I heard voices from the office of the doc with a client still but alas I said if the desk lady said so I guess I am supposed to do that.
Knocked on the doc office door , slowly opened it and yep I was right. Apologised and went back to the waiting area.
Took till like 4:15pm until my name got called and I went inside.
Doc asked me what my reason of being there is. I explained , gave her all my doctor letters and previous blood works from the past few times I got blood work done. She checked everything. She asked me questions. Told her about family health stuff. Bla bla.
Funnily turns out she is from the same city I was born in and she is the same school year of my oldest sis and they went to the same school gg. Small world I guess.
Anyway. She told me I donāt have psoriatic arthritis apparently. Oh well I guess thatās good then? Idk. Why would my GP then tell me that I have that. Idk.
Then she told me to stand up so she can look at my back as well and my hips and then she made me walk back and forth and she told me itās obvious and itās visible to the naked eye that I have a āsevere permanent pelvis/hip deformationā I think she means Pelvis/Hipdysplasia which caused my scoliosis and which causes me not being able to walk properly rn without pain etc etc and she was shocked how no doctor before told me this.
Tbh same idk what my orthopaedic doc did and if he was in the room with me when he checked me.
She prescribed me muscle relaxers aka Chlorzoxazone 250mg 3x a day for like 10 days I think.
Oh and weirdly and surprisingly she apparently clocked my anxiety too (no shit Iām anxious bcs of my fucking health being in shambles) so she prescribed me Duloxetine 30mg which I guess is practically Cymbaltaā¦which she prescribed me for my anxiety and fibromyalgia, chronic neuropathic or musculoskeletal pain. The thing is I only got 10 pills prescribed and so far I only took one Thursday.
Which uh made me have a tensed up jaw, head empty no thoughts only the current task was there, I felt like I never blinked the whole day, I felt like my eyes were gonna protrude from my eye socket, my body temp was a bit higher, later that evening my legs felt sooo fucking weird that I didnāt know how to lay in bed to have some relief from pain and I had to lay like an L shape with my legs dangling off of my bed.
Ok back to Wednesday after the doc appointment. I was so shocked and shaken that I went home after the appointment and had a mental breakdown and sobbed into my momās arms.
My pain level the last few days was -1000 donāt recommend level.
I somehow managed to drag myself to work still this week. With my crutch. At this point people are asking me again what happened to me and I have to give them a tldr.
Thursday to Friday I had a shit sleep. 4h nap only. Not even deep sleep nada nothing.
Friday to Saturday I slept 8h45min and I had less pain.
Today aka Saturday I was in pain in the morning , took pain killer. Rested some more. Chilled. Ate some crackers and some jaffacakes with cherry filling. Didnāt really have a proper appetite for proper food. I took some muscle relaxers as well the ones I got prescribed. Which helped. I was able to do my indoor bike workout and managed 13min which yay!!! After 4 days not being able to do that I missed it a lot and it felt sooo good and my hips were happy. Bcs on one hand itās good for me but on the other hand when Iām in too much pain I canāt really do it.
Now Iām too wide awake and itās almost 3am which thanks to switch to summertime will be 4am š Iām feeling a lot of energy and I feel a lil bit like my old self. I was able to stretch without pain. I was able to lay in bed in a position I couldnāt lay in these days. I was able to walk a bit around in the house without my crutch.
I might be able to do some stuff tomorrow if I donāt wake up in pain again š¤š»š„¹
