at the hospital!!!!

Finally got in with the gp to see about my inflamed and painful elbow. I felt so silly as there wasn't much to look at, but it really hurts. Anyway, the gp was horrified and suspected septic arthritis as it was so swollen. Even was prepared to call me an ambulance, which I declined.
I went up to the hospital, where I was examined, x rayed etc etc. Fortunately it isn't infected, it is just a flare. However it is going to need another injection, but needs resting first.
I was given some co codamols which I don't take on rheumy's advice normally, however on this occasion I thought it wouldn't hurt. Bliss!!! FLoated home from the hospital.

So am resting, and just a bit fed up. Its all a nuisance at times, but it could be worse, at least I am at home!!!!
