Saw my GP this morning and damn, being 45 seems to mean having a little list of things to bring up "while I'm here." Like, none of them have been bad enough to warrant a visit, but I had to see her anyway (to get an annual test one of my meds requires). So now I have a new little list - of things to do, ranging from setting up lab testing to getting physical therapy (for TWO THINGS FFS). I know I am lucky to have good health insurance and a great GP. And also, WTF, body?
I wish I could say it gets better. I'm currently at "all those annoying spots that click are now so painful they need to be cut out" stage.
May your issues respond to PT or, at the worst, progress very slowly.
@Agatha Oh man! Brutal! And thanks for the kind words. My fingers are crossed.
The “best” is yet to be…
Followup: yes, I'm chronically ill - but only one item on the list had anything to do with that cluster of issues. The rest are like, "yeah, your ankle is clicking and you've got some soft tissue strain, time for PT" and "maybe you have sciatica, have the PT work on this too."
