It seems I'm a patient now!

Love that Grogg, funny how we mishear lyrics and just go with it. Sounds like you had a lovely evening Moomy, hope it bolstered you all a bit x

Both kids are playing in unison, trombone and cello which play at similar pitches. Sounds interesting….. I’m sat with hubs and listening!

lovely family time just what you all need xx

Had a phone call from my breast surgeon, she just had the MRI report and there’s nothing sinister, just arthritis and arthritic changes in the joints of lower spine and pelvis. She had quite a chat and talked about pain relief and when I said I’d probably try to see a physio for opinion she felt that was a good idea, plus said paracetamol wasn’t the best pain relief but when I said I found it hard to take much else she laughingly said she remembered how difficult a patient I was in the nicest possible way! She said any time I needed help, just to phone them, so sweet and caring.

Phew, at least it’s ‘just’ wear and tear…..

moomy glad results are nothing untoward you have enough on your plate. Dont know about you but damp weather makes my joints ache even though not medically proven. Enjoy music time with the family x

Music was fun but quite loud, they both needed to share though, it’s a big thing in their lives. 

Even though I know it’s nothing sinister, the pain is still horrible to every morning start of movement. Just hope I can get a referral to a pain clinic now.

Morning moomy, or rather afternoon….. Very glad to hear that your MRI showed nothing sinister. But yes doesn’t help with the pain and you really don’t need anything else to have to contend with atm. Hope you get a referral very quickly. Love and hugs, HFxxx

I just discussed all this with the triage person (who always has her physio hat on!)  and she’s going to discuss with GP for as speedy a referral to pain clinic as they can do. My OT hat was on too, and I asked if she felt a physio appointment might help, given the ‘moderate arthritic changes’ but she said not. That will save me money and time as I was going to see one privately if she felt it would help.

Discussed pain relief, I was once prescribed something very strong and it really didn’t help plus sent me ‘off my head’ yet at the same time I was aware and it was really distressing to the extent I was just crying, and had to wait while it left my system. So paracetamol it has been, 4 times a day. This morning I tried taking some before getting out of bed and it did ease that urgent journey to the bathroom a touch.

I also wonder if the pain is so severe because of my grieving state, I know the mind does strange things to the body.

Brilliant news about ther MRI @moomy , and what a relief! Do you take all thr usual supplements for it (calcium,  Vit. D, Vit K, glucosamine, turmeric etc.)?

I know that when I'm  stressed that pain seems worse or appears, but you're probably doing more to strain it as well at the moment. 

Maybe to celebrate the clear results you could have a celebratory pamper session which might help, like massage or acupuncture. X
