I finally got J into the doctor today. The one I wanted her to see has been swamped. She took a good look at her and looked at the knee, at the back, even at the rash on her chest (female area).
We are off to Phys Therapy for an evaluation and to get exercises. doctor says the back issues will problem be lifelong. I did not ask about arthritis because the doctor outright said they couldn't tell at this stage, but if it didn't get better they would do lab work. I asked why wait, but doctor said ins co likes them to try other things before these tests.
Arggh.
doctor DID, after I explained about finding jess sitting with tears rolling down her face because her back hurt so bad and her knee hurt and she couldn't make it to the bathroom (almost had accident), give her an rx for tylenol 3 to take when it is REALLY bad.
It is worst at night, but on the pain scale with faces she hasn't gone below a 6 in weeks.
So that was our visit.
