::Arthritis?

Monday, April 24, 2006

Randy and I went to see Dr. Rimando Saguin at Rm 5 Sta. Teresita General Hospital. I had knee xray and underwent yellow fluid testing in my knee which caused severe pain. Dr. Saguin asked for longer IV needle because my left knee is swollen. I tested negative for both yellow fluid and blood but the doctor prescribed Etoricoxib Arcoxia Ac 120 mg. tablet. I will go back next Monday, if the pain continues, for MRI. Dr. Saguin thinks I have arthritis.

Knee Checkup

We went to do some shopping inspite of bulgy left knee when a bandage was wrapped around it. The treatment caused me to walk limping. I was so embarassed but, it was really painful and I cannot control my steps. Randy told me how the doctor moved the needle in and out on the side of my upper knee cap. I closed my eyes while the test was being done and unable to take photos while the long syringe was inside of my swollen knee.

Anyway, the test gave me terrible knee sores when we arrived home. Randy checked online the name of the drug before he played HOUSE episode in DVD but, I was so sick and went to bed at past 9 pm.
