Saw the Doctor Today!
Posted: 09-27-07 15:26pm

And I am very excited. I am getting arthrocentesis on Monday which will hopefully help my cartilage go back into place and allow my mouth to open again.

Then I will get fit for my splint afterwards.

I am very glad that I got a procedure right away. Luckily I didn't need to fight with my insurance and have to wait. I also am getting an MRI next Friday.

I was given 2 prescriptions - soma (but given generic) and etodolac (sp?). One is a muscle relaxant and the other an anti-inflammatory.

Now I am off to bed because I am running on 4 hours of sleep and that is no good.

I am very excited tho!!!
