I went to an orthopedic doctor yesterday. My lower back and hip (as I think I've mentioned before) is giving me problems. The bottom line is: I need to start an exercise program again. He says dialysis really does a number on your bones. Gee, I'm glad I know that now. He did give me something to take occasionally for pain. And a muscle relaxer. He offered a shot of cortizone or I could wait and get it next time if I don't improve. I opted to wait. The effects would only be temporary anyway. I am really in need of prioritizing and scheduling my life in every area. Sighhhhh! It's time for the big girl pants.
He was a young doctor and very nice. I liked him. Talked to me like I'm an adult. A definite plus.
