4 HRS in the ER yesterday
Got up to help get Tre' ready for school and got my self ready. By the time everything was ready I was in horrible pain. So I had to call my dad and he took Tre' to school.
I waited until the drs office was open and called. All the answers I got was leave a voice mail with the nurse and she may get back with you in 24 hrs. There was no way I could wait that long. So I got my mom to drive me to the drs. office. The staff was no help there. And they told I might could get in tom. My dr. was in surgery all day and the other dr. was booked all day.
So I went down to the ER. They took me right back and for the most part was very nice. The dr. called my surgeon and ask what needed to be done. They decided to do a CT Scan on me. Nothing showed up in the CT Scan and it was decided that I have irritated my muscle in my left side and thats what is causing all my pain. I thought it was my muscle to begin with but they wanted to check everything out. I was given some pain meds and I see my dr. on Friday.

Sorry Holli! But at least it's nothing serious. I've had side pain off and on since surgery and sometimes its very painful. I don't know why, But I intend to push the issue alittle more this next week at my appt.
But spending 4 hours in the ER sucks!!!!!
Keep me posted on your follow up with your Dr. on Friday I'd like to know what they say.

Hey Holli.
Hate that you aren't feeling well. I have talked to a lot of people who have pain on the left side. Seems to be pretty normal - unfortunately.
Also heard that is the sore side of the body after surgery - since that is the area that most of the operation is done through - we have a natural tendency to bend over toward that side to "protect" it.....and we don't even realize we are doing it.
That will strain your muscles on that side even more - so try to sit and stand straight.
Hope you feel better soon.
