Phew.

My skeleton is fine, apparently! \o/ Just talked to a nice nurse who told me that the X-ray didn’t show anything wrong with the hip joint, which is sort of both positive and negative. It’s a huge relief, but at the same time, it leaves me knowing as little as I did before going to the doctor in the first place.

But it seems that the pills I’m taking are helping (although they do make me nauseous), at least, and I’m supposed to take them for about three more weeks. If the pain comes back after that, I’m to call the doctor again.

Fingers crossed!

Day the first

Finally made it to the doctor with my stupid hip today, and spent the morning having it poked, twisted (ouch!) and X-rayed. They’ll let me know the results of the X-ray tomorrow, but for now, the doctor got me some wicked painkillers! Win! (Hey, when you’ve been in pain for this long, you get excited about proper painkillers.) I got two kinds; anti-inflammatory and muscle-relaxants - I’m particularly grateful for the latter since I can practically feel the muscles in my thigh vibrate, they’re that tense.

Depending on what the results show, they may refer me to an orthopedist. If I’m really lucky, it could be an inflammation that prescription-free painkillers just couldn’t kick, and these will do the trick. *crosses fingers* I’m quite nervous. It may be a result of my hip dysplasia, and I really, really don’t want that.
