Doctor Visit

So ya know how I was bitching about my foot the other day right? Well by today I was noticed limping down the hall. I suppose that is enough to cause attention.

They yanked me in and had the staff doctors look at my foot. However they decided because of the location that it might be Gout. Now this was not something I wanted to hear, but they weren’t sure.

So the staff doctors decided to send me to Urgent Care. This means that I get to leave the building! When I got there, I was actually surprised at how quick I got in when we went.

The doctor there decided that it wasn’t Gout, because there was no pain in the places that there should be. So he prescribed me a happy large dose (800m/g) of Ibprofin.

In order to get my pain relief, I had to wait until some “medical investigators” approved me to use my own prescription. But eventually it was cleared, and happily after that and some ice, I was feeling MUCH better.

So, it wasn’t the drugs screwing me up or anything, just probably my shoes (I wear shoes that force your feet to bend with the shoes). If after a few days my foot does not get better then they have to send me to a podiatrist. If the podiatrist tells me to get orthotics or new shoes or something (which aren’t cheap), then Covance will have to pay for it.

Not that I want my foot screwed up, but I am glad that if there is a problem (that I probably would of ended up with anyways) that I can count on somebody else to pay for it.
