Dr. Donner will get to the bottom of my back injury in 8 days. Latest from the Symptoms Log:
7 NOV 2019: Here’s the list:
Morning acute pain from swollen L4-5
Insomnia (from above)
Aberrant nerve signaling (muscle twitching, mostly right glute)
Muscle tightening/clenching when standing or walking (Glutes, erectors and right thigh) – with associated acute muscle pain if pushed more than around 10-20 minutes, depending on what I am doing
Muscle knotting in both glutes, right erectors and right shouler/back
Limp to the right
Ilial flaring badly/acutely
Entire right side of body lit up with the tension thing (I can actually feel in the right side of my head)BP steadily on the rise for the past couple months – presently clocking around 150/90, but I think my own general anxiety level might be contributing to that. I have to remember to try it right after I wake up to go to bed one of these days.
It’s interesting to note how apologetic Rebecca was when telling me I’d be waiting a whole 2 weeks to get in for this. The Aurora VA Neurology queue was 2 months, last I heard.
