I am not a fan of pain. I won't attend NTEN this morning, unfortunately.
I can't even straighten my leg today, regardless of any weight that I might put on it. The pain kept me awake until sometime after 3am this morning. My muscle injury seems to be much better, nearly healed. A secondary injury, however, keeps getting worse. It started about 4 days after I hurt my leg, and today it is at its worst condition yet. It feels like somebody is reaching behind my leg to jam their finger into the tender area underneath my knee. Not in the kneecap itself, but in the knee joint area on the back of my leg.
On Monday, I will mail some additional documentation for my Minnesota Care medical application. After I'm approved, I'm definitely scheduling another doctor visit so he can refer me to an MRI clinic to see what's wrong with the soft tissue in my leg. He wanted to do that referral on both of my last visits, but he declined since I have no health insurance.
He wanted me to be off of my cane by today. Funny, funny guy. I may be switching back to crutches instead. It's not his fault, though. He's actually been quite thorough for a patient with no money. He has spent plenty of time feeling behind my knee to make sure he could account for tendon and ligament placement without noticing any unusual lumps where broken fibers might have curled up. I feel that he has been quite competent. I'm just poor in America is the only problem.
What a boring blog this has become of late, just me complaining about my leg. I'll try to find something more interesting to capture my attention and share. :)
