Andy 60 Posted December 31, 2009 2009 has really sucked for everyone in the health department, huh? lol I still feel weird sometimes, but not badly enough that I'm going to go to my doctor because everything is so vague that they didn't seem to know what it was. Several blood tests came back normal, and I figured that worrying about it was doing more harm than good. So, whatever; I don't care. I'll worry when something happens. :roll: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess 35 Posted January 5, 2010 Had my 2nd nerve block today and I'm not entirely sure that they got it in the right place, but gotta give the steroids time to work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James the Defender 7 Posted January 5, 2010 They gave me an epidural in addition to putting me under...I thought that was odd... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess 35 Posted January 5, 2010 Aren't they fun? My uncle had a fatty tumor removed from his butt a few years back and they offered him an epidural instead of general anesthesia because he was going to be a tough intubation but because he'd be able to hear everything that goes on, he said no thanks.

Princess 35 Posted January 5, 2010 no. because every time i have pain, my normal kidney doctor has me do tests. even if i have a sterile sample with blood, mayo refuses to see me because "there is nothing they can do." which is why my doctor sends me to mayo because "there is nothing he can do." i've been having the pain on and off since last december when i had my last lithotripsy. Have you thought about going somewhere other than Mayo? I don't think that they got the right area when they did my nerve block yesterday. Instead of the pain getting better, it's just getting worse and all I want to do is cry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayingel 24 Posted January 6, 2010 i have thought about going to the kidney stone specialist in st paul, but i need to get the clinic information for him and get a referral... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess 35 Posted January 17, 2010 My doctor had better hit the right spot tomorrow morning... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess 35 Posted January 18, 2010 (edited) Yeah, my doctor had the flu this morning. Got up at 6:30, got ready, went to the doctor's office, had my vitals taken, nurse went out, then came back in and told me that for the first time in 2 years the doctor called in sick because he was home in bed with the flu. They start seeing patients at 7am and he usually shows up about 7:05 to give them time to get the first two patients ready. Get to try again tomorrow. Scratch that, he's going to be out tomorrow too. Don't get to go again until next Tuesday now Edited January 18, 2010 by Princess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ayingel 24 Posted February 2, 2010 what adoes that mean? something went wrong with the shotS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess 35 Posted February 2, 2010 The shots didn't work. The pain and numbness can mean that the problem is getting worse. I have to have the surgery now and I'm scared to have it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Princess 35 Posted February 3, 2010 Thank you. I'm posting from the clinical decision unit Aka the basement of the er on my iPod. Tonight I'll be having a MRI of my entire spine and unless they find a red herring then tomorrow will be another laproscopy and an appendectomy just because Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Princess 35 Posted February 5, 2010 Thank you very much first surgeon that operated on me. Turns out that I had adhesions form after the first surgery which happens. What isn't normal though was finding out that something had been sutured to my colon. Imagine stitches pulling at your colon every time you or it move.

Ayingel 24 Posted February 5, 2010 omg...so what's the next step you take then? obviously you aren't supposed to have things attached to your colon... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
