Health frustrations!

I am not one to complain about my health. I have been fortunate up to now to have good health. Recently, I have had some pain in my back, lower right, and coming around to the side.  I have been to my family physician, and another doc that I saw for the same problem. I have even visited the emergency when the pain got severe enough to be worrisome.  After numerous tests, including blood work, urine analysis, x-rays and a CT scan, the people in the know cannot find any major cause of my pain. The CT scan showed some "older age" stuff, but none of it pain causing.  The only explanation I have been given is that my spine is deteriorating slowly and "could be" causing pinched nerves. I have some minute kidney stones, but shouldn't be causing pain. These things are non-serious, so I guess the pinched nerves could be the culprit. It continues to ache in the same spot, and has disrupted my sleep and rest several times.
Let me be on the record as saying that "the golden years ain't so golden."
More doc appointments coming up the middle of December. Maybe he will find something. Until them, I just hope for the best.

Until next time,

Peace,

JE

  1. I get it. My knees aren't great but have been holding up alright. For some reason just now, I could barely get downstairs on it. I didn't do anything to cause a change; I just sat here.
