Bugger, bugger, bugger

Just 2 months ago I was feeling really fit and healthy and celebrating 6 years clear. Now not sure what is ahead.

This week I have had a hip ultrasound and CT scan of lumbar spine to investigate increasing pain in lower back and pelvis. I have mild hip bursitis and mild disc compression but the CT scan also picked up ‘something’ in my pelvis. The radiologist has recommended a bone scan. 

I have had increasing pain especially at night. Yesterday I saw a physio who is very concerned as in her opinion my pain is not explainable from a mild disc compression and very mild hip bursitis. 

I am seeing my GP for a bone scan referral tomorrow. Hopefully I can get an answer before the weekend. Am in too much pain to do what I normally do to keep busy in these situations - go for a walk, cook, clean etc. 

Bugger, bugger, bugger! Trying not to think too far ahead and it will be what it it will be but I am really feeling like ‘I know’.

    I'll keep everything crossed for you. Our bodies are complex things and while the worst is always a possibility, it could also be something else altogether. I hope the wait is shirt. Big big hug lovely, K xox
  • Oh Deanne, 
    the worry never really goes away does it? As much as you tell yourself what will be will be the anxiety is still there.  Be kind to yourself and good luck with all the tests xox
  • Fingers and toes crossed it turns out to be nothing nasty.
