doc apt venting!

[arielbellesmom]

I went to my monthly check-up yesterday for post-accident.  He asked what has changed since last time. I told him that my arm is starting to feel better but my hip is getting worse.  I tell him that it is painful to walk and within an hour of shoping i am limping so bad  that I am in tears draging it with me. Not I am exagrating. sadly! I tell him that i moved last weekend, something popped and I got shooting pains down my legs and accross my back. My leg also went to sleep while i was driving the other day within 10 minutes of being in the car.  He tells me well I don't know what is wrong with your hip. We took the MRI and everything looked ok. The only other thing I can do is cut it open and take a look? what???? He said that he is getting flustrated with this and he assumed i was too. duh! I told him that I feel like my PT is going to run out and be SOL. He says gee don't be so negative. I know that it is negative but next week it will be 4 MONTHS since the accident and I still am not healed. When they told me I would be healed after a month I was positive,but at what point do you lose that? I have missed out on alot of stuff because of this. Bowling skating pool,walking, the gym,  taking the kids places,ect. Anyway, he gives me more pills. Peroset every 4 hours for the next week and to sit on my butt. Can anyone tell me how to do that with 2 kids please? Just to add to the stress the 10,000 in medical bills that are unpaid are a little stressful. Needed to vent. Thanks
