Gosh I dont go out if it isnt for doctor appts! It was nice to see my old friend Dr. A. He is looking well...lmao. Is it bad when you have seen a specialist so long that you are on a first name basis and speak when you see each other in public? The man drives an awesome car that I am sure my appointments helped pay for...lol. Yellow Ferrari.
They took xrays of my back and knees today. These docs are much better. After looking at the films, they believe I have moderate degenerative disc disorder in my lower back but we will wait to see what the MRI shows before going further. My knees are a complete mess. My right knee has stage 4 degenerative arthritis. Thats as bad as it gets. Its shot. My left one is stage 3.
They gave me steroid shots in both knees and on both sides of my lower back in the sacroiliac joint. Im having a bit of a buzzy feeling now since any steroid in me tends to hype me but I have to get relief somehow.
I was kind of shocked though at the shot in my right knee. It hurt really bad. Normally these shots are not bad at all but this one hurt and I yelped. They did the other knee and it was like normal. doctor told me that showed just how bad my knee was right now. Im really good at getting shots in joints now.
