Thoughts of a doctors visit

I'm probably going to lose a few of my boy readers when they figure out the topic of this post, but too bad. I've got to get this off my chest.

I went to the "girl doctor" today. Bleh.

I don't know about you ladies, but when I'm in the office and prepping myself for his entrance (yes I have a boy gyno), I always tell myself "He's seen worse. He has seen all kinds of cooters- diseased, nasty, old, hairless, hairy, fat, thin, smelly - you name it, he has seen it. Mine is normal. Plus he delivered my daughter by c-section. He has literally seen me inside and out!"

But it doesn't make it any better.

Today something else hit me. As much as I hate it that he is down there, he has to have an assistant, too. And she doesn't stand over by the cabinets... oh no siree... she is standing right over his shoulder handing him the items he needs.

That means there are TWO sets of eyes taking a look at my privates. And how much does it suck to be HER? She didn't go to school to look at other lady's vajayjays! She went to OB school to be a nurse that preps women on having their babies. She wants the joy of watching a baby grow and experience the excitement of the couples that come for their appointments.

NOT looking at nasty cooters all day long!!!

Do you think she (or even the doctor for that matter) think to themselves "Oh. That's a good shave job!" or "Sheesh. Sistah girlfriend needs to invest in some laser hair removal!"... what do they think????

Double crush

The doctor thinks the pain is coming from a pinched nerve in my neck. He said carpal tunnel stops about mid-way up the arm and doesn't radiate to the shoulder like mine. He touched a spot on my neck and I almost came up out of the chair it hurt so bad.

So...

He gave me some neck exercises to do for the next few weeks. He said if it isn't better after the holidays to give him a call and he'll do an MRI on my wrist, arm, and neck to look at the nerves.

I asked him if there was a possibility I could have a pinched nerve and carpal tunnel. He said "Yes. You may have what we call a Double Crush."

Sounds lovely, huh?

I'm going to start those exercises tonight, and also make an appointment with a chiropractor to see if they could possibly work out the issues with my neck. At least things are happening... slowly, but happening.

Can't take it any more

I'm going to the doctor today to have my arm looked at. My carpal tunnel is getting worse and I need some relief.

The other day I had pain radiating from in between my fingers all the way to my shoulder. Today I was holding my coffee mug and my arm started aching.

I don't know what the doctor can do for it. I don't know how the surgery (if that is an option) would help. I'm sure all he can do is give me a better brace and prescribe some sort of mild pain killer. That is fine... I just know that I hurt and I want him to help me out.
