For someone who never goes to the doctor and only recently started even having yearly checkups - this has been a doctor filled wk. Mon. the Orthopedic from hell. Tues. day off. Wed. and Thurs.: chiropractor and xrays at the hospital. Today I met my new primary doctor: ok, let's see: I got a glance of him from the waiting room and i thought(sorry) young and dorky. He was nice enough though and spent some time with me. Seems to think i am suffering from ...da,da da, duh.....depression. Well any idiot could've figured that out, i guess. Ok i'm angry, what can i say; i hate this shit - here we go - round 3, 4, 106. Somehow, clinical depression got mentioned and i said whooaa, i don't have that, i just have the regular, everybody has it version; he says that's what it's called, what everybody has. So he agrees with the chiro. that i need psychotherapy and physical therapy( i also have tendonitis and sciatica) but i like what he said about the xrays: hey even an 155 yr. old person without any pain wouldn't have a perfect back/xray. Just what i like, perspective.

Whoa. I'm just catching up. Looks like you had a long week. I've been called dorky. I guess it's better than being called scary. Good luck with PT.
I hope they can get rid of your pain quickly, as who can feel anything but depressed if your body's screaming?!
Strange analogy. What can you do with information like that?
This reminds me that I was told at age 28 that I had the spine of a 60 year old. Well the rest of me is catching up fast ....
Dr. A - yes, i am hopeing that PT is the answer.
Jona- yes i think i have right to be.
and Mary I was told at 30 I had the spine of a 50 yr. old and here I sit.
(((rdl)))
And I've been told I don't have the ankles of a young woman. I could've told him that, but that's not what he meant. Sigh. My utmost sympathies and hopes for pain relief soon because that for sure is not helping the depression. Hang in there!!
