Doctors Orders

So I went in for my p4 blood test this morning. Also had a CBC added to it been feeling anemic lately and don't want that getting out of control. I also figured that since I am there and its been basically a month since I had my knee checked last and its not getting any better to get it checked again. So they proceed to get the x rays omg they are so painful a healthy unpainful knee dosen't bend like that you moron. I must say though when she asked the dreaded question before starting the xrays "Any chance you could be pregnant?" my response was I am currently on a medicated cycle and just went for a serum progesterone test however it is too early for a urine test to give accurate results, she looked at me kind of puzzled then said well let's be better safe then sorry and I will give you double lead layer.
So I go back and sit in the waiting room I get called in and I sit in the exam room for over a hour and wait and wait my knee throbbing from the manipulation needed for the xrays, I watch the doctor pass back and forth in front of the door, when he finally comes in and asks where it hurts then proceeds to twist and manipulate it even more the tears and flowing freely now, me knee hurts ok stop moving it like that.
His conculsion it still hasn't healed the antiinflamatories I was given before aren't doing anyhting. He says we'll get you somehtign stronger, ok good becuase this pain is driving me insane. He then says you need a brace, you knee is very very very instable finally someone with some brains. He then goes on to say that I am not allowed to twist or cross my legs when sitting or do anyhitng that puts my knee at a weird angle. He also says and his orders "You have to be very very careful, hold onto railings be very careful walking watch where you step your knee could go at any minute. Be very careful"
So I guess the ER at our hospital (because we don't have a clinic in town and I do not have a fmaily doctor) has redeemed itself a little bit I walked out with a script for a knee brace, and another for some stronger antiinflamatories. His diagnosis is the same torn cartlige and to wait another month and see if the brace and the new meds help.
