I saw the doc this morning! He is very excited to make me one of his case studies since I am rather unique in my presentation (also, have good veins and anatomy, which, hurrah? I'm going to take this as a hurrah).

I had a very nice and earnest resident checking me out at first, and I actually like residents (as long as they aren't doing surgery on me). They listen and actually try to problem solve it, while most doctors I run into make a decision in the first few moments and try to stretch your symptoms to fit that idea.

I getting an MRI approved! So that's nice! That was my big thing I wanted today, was to get an MRI. I do not have a blood clot (duh) from the ultrasound. I really fought (politely! Doc thinks I'm an awesome lady and not a problem patient, but I would not be chased out) to make the doctor understand I am in a great deal of pain. He grabbed and squeezed the fleshy part of my calf where I have been having a lot of pain, and motherfucker!! I let out a shout, and I really don't do crap like that.

I made them check out my ankle more in depth again, because the doctor suggested I wear low heels, especially a wedged heel to help with pain management. (He did not explain this, mostly because he is back and forth on three or four different things it could be) When I pointed out, very firmly, that I have stopped wearing heels because my ankle keeps turning when I am just doing normal walking; he did more of a study, and managed to make me shout a few curses at him when he poked me in "just the right" spot. ;_;

I also had blood work done to see if there is a metabolic disorder happening as well or is a compound part of the issue. He thinks there might be a rupture in one of muscles, most likely the plantaris (which is a stupid and useless muscle but hurts like a motherfucker when you do something to it; seriously, useless! There is a percentage of the population that doesn't even have it). But, he also highlighted he needs the MRI to get a clear idea of what's going on.

So, I am at the waiting on the insurance stage of things. I'm worried, of course. I'm worried they will decide I have prediabetes, then make the decision that is the only thing going on and wrong. Then, I'll be pissed and have to get another doctor and start all over again! I just want a decision about what is going on! Also, for the pain to stop. It hurts! All the fucking time! I would like it to STOP.



You have been updated! In short: MRI is planned, and no further updates. Besides that I have medically approved, very well shaped legs, feet, and "pretty" veins.
