Drs. office ( sorry so long)

You might want to grab a cup of coffee and get comfy. I haven't been on much the last while back. About a month ago I twisted my back and have been unable to sit ior stand for any length of time. Not to say I haven't tried and paid for it. I called the dr and found out that they had raised the office call............from 56.00 to 110.00!!!!!This is just to step foot into the exam room no less. so I didn't go. I had a swollen spot that I put heat and ice on but it didn't help much. Two days ago I got a sinus infection and my face and eyes swelled too. I got out of bed yesterday morning or should say i literally crawled out of bed and decided enough is enough. I take presciption meds for arthritis in my hips and back along with muscle relaxers for back spasms. ( I know I'm a mess). I doubled up on the meds along with a generic sinus pill. I knew it wouldn't hurt me to do this as the dr. said I could but not for long periods of time. I got up this morning and I am like a new person. I have a small amount of discomfort in my hip but other than that I am actually able to function. You might recall that I was having problems with the drs office allowing me to pay payments a while back . They would let my husband but not me. Well I called and talked to a different person and they said that I can pay the office call in payments so I am gong to be able to get my scripts filled finally after stretching them as far as I could and possibly gettign the testing done for my gall bladder. Yesterday turned out to be a good day. I also got my free cell phone and minutes and my mr clean eraser in the mail. Just wanted to share with someone.

I am glad you are feeling better! I hate it so much when my back goes out....it is the worst pain in the world. We don't realize how many muscles are connected to the back so every little move is agony. Stay healthy now!
