They did blood work this week but haven’t heard from them yet. I’m anemic and hypothyroid. Since a tkr 18 months ago I have toe spasms. Nerve conduction showed perineal and I T band impingement. Surgery to release them was 2 months ago. Still impinged according to latest nerve study. I’m so frustrated. Weak and in pain.

The anemis alone would make you exhausted and weak. Push for your results, and answers to your questions.

Thanks for responding. I hope to hear from the doctor today.When you have health anxiety it’s hard for me to know if I’m really sick or not. I hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving.

Well my thyroid medication was too high. They cut the dosage and it is starting to make a difference in my muscle aches and spasms.
