Ok, in the style of
jaylake and
calendula_witch I'm going to do a Have Some More Information post. We all have medical problems that someone else out there probably has too. We want more information, and the process of getting it isn't always easy because people don't talk about these sorts of things. So I'm going to once more go unto the breach and start talking about my most recent journey in the medical field.
Ok, so everyone who knows me off-line knows I am quite bendy. I've always been this way, and it has massive issues involved therewith. I've had four different doctors for four different sets of joints. I have had re-constructive surgery on both my ankles. I have arthritis in both my knees. My back has always hurt. I have TMJ in my jaw. Those are just the ones that I've had doctors for. Every other joint in my body hurts. I live in constant pain, and don't bother taking pain meds unless it's really bad.
( Here we go! Follow me! )
The next step in this process will be finding a specialist, because that's what I need. Possibly an EDS specialist, possibly just a genetic disorder specialist. I'll be asking my primary care physician what he recommends, but at this point, that's the only thing I'll be looking to him for. I live near both Washington DC and Baltimore, so if you know of anyone who does that sort of thing, let me know.
