The good news is that I have a rheumatologist appointment. The bad news is that it’s for 30 March 2005.
Yes, really.
Everything I used to bore people on newsgroups and mailing lists with, now in one inconvenient place.

My doctor faxed all my stuff over to a rheumatologist, and told me to call her on Monday. I did, and she said she needs time to study the information. I haven’t heard back from her.
Meanwhile, I’m still waiting for my god-damned insurance company to approve a perscription for Celebrex.

After Friday’s revelation by the orthopod that the elbow pain is most likely joint related rather than tendon related, my physio changed tactics and did some pulling and pushing on my arms that seemed designed to loosen up the joint. And I think it worked at loosening things up.
For all last evening, and most of the night, my left elbow would get feeling “out of joint”, and then I’d rotate my wrist and you could *hear* it snap back into position, and then it would be relatively painless for some time until the next time it needed to be snapped back, usually within 10 or 15 minutes. It’s still doing it now. It feels weird and just a little disquieting.
I took two of those pain pills before going to bed last night, at about 12:30. I woke up about 9:30, and immediately had to run for the bathroom – I thought I was going to throw up, but I didn’t. I was nauseated and sweaty, so I went back to bed. And woke up at 1:30, still feeling a little nauseated and sweaty.
Googling for “ultracet side effects” shows that about 3% of people in the clinical trials reported nausea. So maybe it’s not the pills, but I don’t think I’m going to risk it.
