I have eleven followers for this blog!
I was in the Emergency room this week, that was fun......(sarcasm)
The doctor thinks I have three different issues going on at once.
I seemed to have bruised my rib bone somehow.....and of course when you are puking your guts out, it really hurts. My rib has been hurting ever since the 1st of this month. I didn't even do anything to it, the only thing I can think of is that I was laying down weird that day watching a movie. It just got worse when I was puking, and I couldn't even sit up or lay down with out being in lots of pain. Now it is just back to being painful when I move about.
The other two issues: A bag stomach bug, and this random ache that has been just below my rib for a while.....Of course being the emergency room they only treat you as an emergency. Got the puking and pain under control, did blood work to make sure it wasn't anything obvious, did an x-ray to see if ribs were broke, and then sent me home with anti-nausea med and more pain pills. My ribs aren't broke (but he said cracks are hard to see, so it is possible it could still be cracked.)
I had an ultra sound on Monday for the side ache (below the ribs), nothing concrete out of that yet. They said the doctor needed to look at it, but at the bottom of the ultra sound it was said that there was nothing remarkable about the ultra sound.
I think I am going to call my normal doctor and set up an appointment, I think I need to get an MRI to see what is going on with my ribs, and maybe they can see about that ache below the rib too.
I also had an endoscopy last week, that was interesting, better then getting a colonoscopy.
