DONT GET IN SHAPE YOU GET INJURED! :)

So a few days later after we had gone to the park to "Get in shape" My leg started to go cold in a spot right above my knee, it scared me because I thought that it was poor circulation. So after calling my doctor he said that if it doesn't go away then I should go to the ER! DJ said that it probably was just a pulled muscle so I stretched it all day long and put heat on my leg. It felt better after that. Well Saturday morning came along and my knee was alittle swollen and my leg was going tingly. I really started to freak out cause I had no clue who to even go to on a saturday other than the ER and I didn't want to go there. So I did some searching online and found out that some Walgreens have a Take Care Clinic in them. So when DJ got home from work we went over there. It was about 1pm and when I finally got in the nurse told me that there was nothing that she could do but it seemed to her that it was a nerve that was making my leg go tingly, and that I needed to go to Gilbert Urgent Care which is 1 minute from our place. Go figure! So I dropped everyone off to take naps and was there for 2 and a half hours later waiting for my turn. And it so happens that every doctor that I have seen since we have been here has been from a different country and I can't understand them. So after him telling me that my knee was inflammed and that he was going to xray it. After doing that he told me that nothing was wrong with my knee but that I had a circle behind my knee cap that he said could possibly be a cyst. Yeah still not sure what has happened. So after all that I have just been resting as much as I can and taking some motrin. It starts acting up if I am on it too long, so that sucks and hopefully all of this will go away soon. Along with that I have woke up sick to my stomach and dont feel good ever since last thursday. And I know what you all might think that I am pregnant and no I am not. Just ended my cycle. So really I am just frustrated that it isn't going away. Good thing that my husband has been helping me out or I would go insane! Thank you honey!! It isn't often that he helps with cleaning so I am very thankful to him for being a huge help to me and with the kids.

I'm so sorry you're feeling sick, that's the worst when you're a mom and have a family to take care of. I also have gone to urgent care a few times here and have had the same experience, a doctor from another country who I couldn't understand, lol!
