possible leg nodules..and also need a new doc:)

[Guest guest]

in a flare but will try to make sense in my message, spelling and

caps may be off.

went to urgent care today for leg pain for almost a week -- swelling

that won't go down--now area is turning dark -- I was told possible

tender nodule on the leg. I was happy DVT was ruled out, however

which was my main concern. With a chronic illness you learn just

enough about medicine to scare you.

Every question I asked about the possible diagnosis (dx), I was told

to ask you rheumatologist. If I could I wouldn't have been in this

new hospital looking for a new doctor. I don't know what is going on

here in this town but having a very hard time finding comfortable

care. ARe they just overworked or burned out? I wish I knew. Or

maybe chose the wrong profession because of the money. This

particular guy appeared a little intoxicated as well which is his

business but just preferably not while dx'ing and treating me.

Sent home with Lortab which I gave back, can't tolerate them, will

stick to the over-the-counter tylenol.

Did your nodules go away on its own? Still very painful, especially

after 6 people maniupated it trying to determine what it was. Ha!

Thanks.

peace,
