Pain making me sweaty and nauseous
My sacrum must be misaligned or something these past few days because I can hardly stand or walk 100 feet without getting shaky, sweaty, and nauseous. Sitting upright is about the same. My entire left leg is in agony and my right hip and thigh isn't much better. But still, I have to clean the house, do groceries, go to work, be productive....
This happens from time to time, but its never lasted this long. I hate going to urgent care because they're just going to take xrays that will come back normal and then probably treat me like a criminal who's only looking for meds. And forget the ER. I'm stuck paying off my last (entirely uneventful) visit until October 2027 and can't afford to add another one to my payment plan. But I don't know how much longer I can handle this. I'm on a cane to get to work and I do have a walker from that last ER visit that I could use if I need to...
I guess this is mostly just a vent post, but if anyone has any advice on how to tell the difference between a bad flare and an actual medical emergency, I would greatly appreciate it. The last thing I want is to be "that patient" or "the boy who cried wolf".
