Another update on the fall

So, never got a call back from the doctor about the x-ray, so, as I knew already, it isn't broken. However, on Friday I went to the pain doc, and the PA there said it looked like it was probably my bursae - you know, that thing that causes bursitis. She gave me a few suggestions, and I've been doing my best to follow them. It does get to aching sometimes, the rain we've had the last few days hasn't helped. Still, it could've been so much worse you know.

I really do feel fine most of the time. Though since the PA found the sore spot, I have been rubbing my Diclofenac Sodium topical gel in it, seems to help some.

@ElicBxn I am glad that the Diclofenac helps, at least a bit.

I was glad to hear it too. I know that bruises and sprains can be hard to recover from than a break, but it does depend on where and how bad a break is. I'm just glad that I'm not in constant pain.

@ElicBxn that is true. A bruise and sprain is better in the long run than a fracture

Hope it heals up on its own, otherwise you might need a cortisone shot... not pleasant.

Thanks, of all the falls I've ever had, this was one I couldn't get up from, and yet I hurt less once I got on my feet than any before.
