Fourth Appointment
Doc finally has a routine down that is providing tolerable joint injections. Requires numbing the skin, then numbing the muscle, then doing the joint injection. But, whatever works is good by me. X-rays show consistent joint space. ROM is proving a challenge. Makes the heel pins very unhappy campers. But my nurse neighbor has suggested a new routine of pain meds that will hopefully help. Hard to pursuade yourself to do ROM when its painful. Otherwise, all going well. Feeling a bit stir crazy and bad case of Spring Fever. Would love to get out and walk dogs or bicycle. Just keep thinking how good it will all feel when its done and how much more pleasant the fall walks will be this year. Fingers crossed.
