Whine ... whine ... whine...
Mind you, I'm ONLY 35. Yes, I've had my share of sprains, concussions, knee injuries, etc... my mind likes to wander (though i firmly plant that under ADD)... well, the last two days have put me one rung higher on the Old Age Ladder.
My hip keep popping and is causing some rather ugly pain.
Oh bother.
See, I have to climb/descend a set of stairs to get to and from my apartment and the parking/garbage/mail/etc. Yesterday and today, about three times now, as I've descended the last step or two (or, in one instance yesterday, after the steps, walking the remainder of the path to my door), and my right hip popped... PAINFULLY. the last one happened an hour ago and still aches.
I called the doctor. I can't get in until Tuesday. If it still acts up tomorrow, they MAY be able to squeeze me in after work, but her schedule is full.
Now, I used to dance (modern, jazz, some ballet, nothing professional), but stopped at 22, mostly because I kept landing wrong/losing balance. I'd get hurt... far too much. I've been paying for it ever since.
I've joined a gym, but my schedule makes things difficult. Add to that the flare-up of head and neck pain the last two weeks (coincides with girl stuff), which has finally subsided. There is something wrong with this body... I want a new one. I doubt my doctor will do much. She, like most of my previous doctors, doesn't listen as well as she should... she's better than the last one, but has a long way to go before she gets as good as my doc from Chicago. I wonder if I could switch to the male doc from the same office... he's the one who originally was recommended to me, but he wasn't taking new patients at the time... I'll ask next week. I like her for some things... girl stuff (those pesky annuals), but I'm not so sure anymore... we'll see what happens next week. My insurance isn't gonna cover much more... I hate my insurance...
Anyway... we'll see how this plays out.
