OT - doc appt - not for the shy!

Ok, my shoulder/arm muscles have been spasming and very painful for almost two weeks now.  After every home remedy has failed, I finally went to the doctor today.   She was pretty rude, but I held my own.  She suggested 3 ibuprofens 3 x a day...sorry can't, had gastric bypass.  This would eat right thru my pouch.  Ok.  So she says, for a few days take one aleve every 12 hours with food.  And here's flexeril to take at night.  I'll be good as new in about a week. So this chick gives me 30 fricken flexerils!  For one per night for a week....she's whacko - no wonder people end up hooked on that stuff... Anyway, on to the good part!!!!   She commented that I was overweight...no kidding????  She asked what I do for exercise, because "you realize you can't lose weight without exercising".  Well, I do cardio 2-3 times a week and weight lifting 2-3 times a week.  She says, no exactly what kind of exercise do you do?   Now, I'm feisty, but not rude, but this woman was not treating me very nicely.  Her comments thru-out the visit just got on my last nerve. So, I said, well I have vigorous sex 2-3 times per week for 30-45 minutes.  Poor woman dropped her pen and when she finally closed her mouth I got an "oh my".  And what does she do???  Jots this down!  Unbelievable! I'm still laughing about it!  I've never been that disrespectful before, but she was just a mean old woman.  I won't be seeing her again.

WHOO HOO! Way to sock it to her baby.  What a bee-yotch. Sorry!!!! I hope you don't take that Aleve - it's an NSAID like Advil - ouchy pouchy! I wouldn't wish an ulcer on anyone. Good luck finding a new doctor.

I took one....had to do something.  I did eat first.  But my tummy is sore already.  Hopefully I can get thru tomorrow without it.  I definitely won't be taking one tonight.

What a piece of work!  Uh - I'm here for arm & shoulder pain, honey, not a general check-up!  Duh... I had a fabulous nurse while in the hospital - I've posted about her before, but the girl had the personality of a soap dish.  Came in with 3 meds to administer, verified my name and birthdate on my wrist band for each one - even tho neither of us had left the room.  So I started screwing with her, changing my name and birthdate between meds, and she gives me this deer-in-the-headlights look as if A) she didn't get it, and B) what was my point?  LIGHTEN UP, SWEET CHEEKS!!

LOL!!!   I know its a hard job, but she got what she deserved!!!!  I didn't need a "you're too fat" lecture...not when I'm sitting there hunched over with my shoulders up by my ears already at 8:45am!!!

Seriously - I think that's the funniest thing I've ever heard!  OMG - I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall to see her face.  Way to get her goat - nasty ol' bitty! Thanks for sharing - I've got to go call my sister...she'll love this one!

Loved your response...WTG!!!   You have a great sense of humor and I really enjoy reading your posts...you are right up there with Darla in the humor department!! I mean that as a compliment...I adore Darla!! Hugs, connie d

Sounds to me like you gave that old biddy what she richly deserved.  Good for you! Have you tried Myoflex yet?  That's the only thing that worked for me.  It doesn't stink either.  And I love those Thermacare wraps. Hope the shoulder feels better!

  OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  That is toooooo funny!!!!!!!!!!  What a GREAT response!   Sure hope your shoulders feel better soon.  Ummmm stay away from the Aleve though.

That was a good response!!! WTG! Um, I'll buy those Flexeril from you...LOL...love that stuff for some serious sleepy time especially when I've had a migraine. Be well! Hey, does your chef also know anything about being a masseuse? (hint hint)
