Okay guys, I didn't want anyone freaking out so. I kept it pretty vague yesterday.
Tuesday morning I woke up with a twinge in my shoulder...(Y'all know I'm like oh this will go away by tomorrow...) Well, by Tuesday night it was pretty bad, and my elbow and hand were being affected. Wednesday, in poor shape, but also again like....this will go away by tomorrow!.... Got worse of course throughout the day.
Yesterday the pain was bad it had kept me up all night.....so I cried it out, iced up the shoulder, took some Advil and then went to get ready for work.... This ...is where the schtuff got wild for me. πππ
After experiencing a really scary episode in the shower that had more than a couple "mini strokeish" vibes (face was numb, extreme disorientation, confusion, some more stuff....scary, very scary) my Registered Nurse best friend said I had to go to get it ruled out. So, after spending the day in the ER, having a CT Scan, and everything else.... I still have incredible pain and numbness in my right arm. While nothing showed up, I'm not feeling like something isn't wrong still.
It has been ruled that I have Cervical Radiculopathy with extreme Weakness in my hand and arm. If the steroids don't help, I need to see a spine doc. I'm sure they will help, but they sure don't help you sleep well.
Doctor and Chef's orders are that I don't work today, and hopefully after today on the 'roids I can feel better enough to work tomorrow.
Why does growing up suck so much?
I'm sorry everyone. Especially cause I have a completely different ailment to take care of Monday and Tuesday.
Eventually this should all go away, right?
The year of 43, when my body was like pay attention to me, or else.....and I FAFO'd and "or elsed" too many times.
ππ Hoping to see you tomorrow.
