AnxietyRidden's Journal

I have an appt at the Orthoapedic doctor this morning for my back.  I'm leaving in a few minutes and I'm feeling a little anxious.  My back has been hurting for 2 years now and it's only getting worse.  Hopefully I'll find an answer shortly. 

Well I have an Appt next week for an MRI.  I was quite disappointed with the visit this morning.  The Dr. didn't even look at my back.  He checked my reflexes and told me to point to where it hurts.  I also had him to listen to my neck which makes strange noises.  It used to make a snapping noise.  Now it's more like a grinding noise.  He said that it was fine.  I guess it doesn't really matter if he looks at my back or not because he can't tell what's wrong with it just by looking.  He says more than likely it will just take physical therapy to strengthen it.  I guess we'll find out in July when I go back for the results of the MRI.  I'm just so tired of the pain.  My back prevents me from doing alot of things.  Anything that takes walking such as: festivals, shopping, etc just kills me with pain.  By the time I get to the car my back hurts so bad I can barely sit.  And I have to stand all day at work.  It's preventing me from doing my job correctly.  At this point with my job, I really don't care.  They can fire me if they like.  Speaking of work...time to go.
