cripple ol me

It all started on monday when I woke up from my bed, I felt this sharp horrendous pain on my right thigh.....didn't feel like a muscle strain...I thought it could be a neurological problem. I could not move my right leg to the full range of motion without cringing.

On my way to work, I was walking like an old man. I was walking with a gait and I was in pain. But still I made my way to work. I thought the pain would subside in 1 or 2 days.

Come tuesday, while working I could not even step on the pedal without cringing.....my thigh was immobilised....I would say self immobilised. I didn't dare to move it much....

Worried ol me decided to self medicate with deep heat spray and those patches. They did help a little but the underlying problem is still is present.

I started becoming paranoid and thus I googled about rheumatoid arthritis and degenerative bone disease. Alas I decided to see a doctor to calm myself down. Dr Martinez mentioned that if the pain ensues, I would have to see an orthopaedic doctor. She prescribed me diclofenac and anarex.

Today, I felt much better at work. While working, I felt drowsy and nauseating, my head became light and I wanted to puke. Little did I know that anarex makes one drowsy until today......The little prescription packet had a note saying to avoid machinery...what an irony...lol

The signs of aging seem to be upon me....I can't deny that I will be 30 years old in 4 years time.....
