Soooo … my doctor called me this morning to check on me because I was in so much pain yesterday. She thinks it’s possible that I have two very different things going on. She thinks my leg pain could be a separate issue from my back (from the same injury) based on the burning sensations and tingling that I’m describing, and a popping that started last night while I was trying to walk as instructed.

She’s going to do an image on my leg tomorrow to rule out any hairline cracks or fractures. I feel good that she called me first thing and said she was worried about me. I think she’s taking me seriously and that’s a great thing. (she’s seriously the best doctor I have ever had)

I also inquired about an MRI, and she said she will not hesitate to order it if this image is clear and I don’t have complete relief from the dexamethasone by next week.

I’d also like to add that this steroid has me so amped up I could kick a door off the hinges with my good leg and bench press a small alligator.🤪💪🏼

Strangely though, I have no appetite..and steroids usually make me want to eat. But hey… I really don’t care if I gain 25lbs this week, I just want to feel better. 🙏🏼 I would prefer it not go to my butt though. 😄 I can lose belly but my butt doesn’t seem to ever get any smaller. 🤷🏼‍♀️

So that’s all I’ve got for now.

This may take a while to unravel but if I’m healing in the meantime, that would be a blessing. 🤍
