More Scans = It never ends!!!

Hiya everyone

Had my last physio session for a little while today, went for my appt at 4 o'clock and i was out by 4:10 (never known), as soon as i walked in Carolyn (physio) asked me to sit on the bed went through the normal procedure of checking how strong my leg and knee muscles were getting and suddenly said that i need to have a MRI scan on my hip as herself and the consultant think i might have ripped something inside it????? The last few weeks when i have been exercising my hip has been cracking i already no that i have arthritis in this and just put it down to that but when it happened at physio about 2 weeks ago carolyn wasnt convinced and said she was quite concerned as it should not have been locking or cracking.....so i went in to physio feeling quite positive and came out with the wind knocked out my sails. would you believe ive just bought and exercise bike which cost me a small fortune aswell and i totally forgot to ask if i can still use it (10 mins everyday on level 1 i.e no resistance).

Does anyone else feel like they can see the light at the end of the tunnel then something happens to block it again, I will get there 1 day, i will get there 1 day, i will get there 1 day, i will get there 1 day, sorry ive just got to keep on telling myself that!!!

Hope you guys are having a better day/night than me at the min

Thanks Guys your all 1 in a million

Carolyn said that i should recieve and appt through quite soon, but no doubt i'll have to chase it up like you do with all hospital/scan etc appts, it gets abit annoying because you think that your just getting there getting sorted and then something else comes along to knock you down.

Think i'll have a glass of wine (mmmm meds or wine) haha

Well guys
Been for my MRI scan today, slightly worried as found out i needed it on wednesday so i thought i would contact them yesterday to see how long the waiting list is, she said the consultant had my referral and i would recieve a letter in the next few weeks, then at 4:20 last night i got a phone call to ask if could come in for 8am this morning!!!! think im still in shock getting seen so quickly, the MRI nurse explained that my results would be passed to the specialist today but that was all she would tell me, i no that might not mean anything ie getting seen quick and results going to specialist but i cant help worrying, u start to imagine stupid things, my word if its not one thing its another.

Hope your all well on this sort of sunny day

Hi Joann, I know exactly how you feel! I wouldn't like to put a guess on how many C.T and M.R.I scans I've Had! But you do think o.k so this is the last test or last scan I will have to have to have then when you see you doc or consultant and then they say right I want you to have this test/scan/exploratory op, and you thing when will it ever end!! It really drives me mad. I'm hoping the doc/ consultant has got all the info they need to pain manage me now but I'm not holding my breath! I send you a big ((HUG)) and hope you do get to find that light at the end of your tunnel. Have a lovely bank holiday weekend. Amanda, (bubbadog).xx
