Physical Therapy...

It has been over five years since my back surgery and the comprehensive physical therapy that I went through.

Last June I complained of chest pains at work. My branch manager insisted that an ambulance be called. It was not my heart. Best they could tell it was indigestion.

I kept returning to my doctor. I was not good at pinpointing my pain and he was not good at figuring it out. They x-rayed my lungs and saw some pneumonia. Antibiotics. The pain persisted. More antibiotics, more x-rays.

I asked my doctor if I could get a mri, or if I should go see Molly, a specialist I have seen before.

Dr. Molly thinks it could be a muscular-skellatal thing and had me go to physical therapy. My therapists have been good. They traced the pain from the rib area in my chest that is painful to a spot in the middle of my back that, when they poke and prod, is also painful. They have also found slight inflammation in my right breast that is slightly inflamed - or that feels different. My scoliosis also plays into it. My ribs are really tight.

I am hoping that when I return to dr. Molly on Feb. 26, that she orders a mri, just to see for sure what it is.

I think I am fighting a bit of depression right now. Dealing with this unknown pain for so long. I am also frustrated by my lack of success when it comes to creating and running websites. I am trying to figure out SEO (Search Engine Optimization), which is the process of getting your website recognized by search engines such as Google.

Seems like I always try to succeed at things that I am not good at doing, and I ignore doing
then things that I am better at.

I will pull through this.
