So I broke down on Monday and bought a cane. I'm getting frustrated about my pain and needed to try something new. Twice now my left hip has caught while I am walking and I've gotten sharp pains. It feels almost like tendons and cartilage are just getting tangled up in my hip. Now it hurts pretty much 24/7 and is making my right hip and knee hurt. So the cane helps release some stress from my right hip in long distance walking. I took it to Wal-mart today, first time in public, and I got some looks from people. But I stayed confident. It is going to be 1000 times harder adjusting to having it at school. Middle school students are cruel.
I called Dr. Scheid's office on Monday too to ask about screw removal and what I can be doing more about my pain. I've already cut back on activity and I am taking my prescriptions religiously, but the pain is only getting worse. I got a reply back from Dr. Scheid's nurse that they don't normally take screws out and if I'm having problems, he wants to reevaluate my knee. So I am going in tomorrow morning to have it looked at and I am going to mention that I think I have a tear in my left hip and see what he wants to do about it. I can't handle this pain for 5 more months. So I will be back on tomorrow updating on what the Doc has to say.
