Hey guys,
I'm still suffering high anxiety here. Like one long panic attack that has gone on for several weeks. Even as I write this, I feel pressure on my chest. I spent the weekend just terrified that I might have a clogged artery in my leg. My leg felt funny, and I would feel a nurabing pressure sensation when I bent it sideways to clirab in bed. Saturday night, I felt swelling in the foot. I was wondering if I should get to the ER. Felt better on Sunday. My foot looked normal and wasn't swelled up. The constant nurabness in my left hand ring and pinky kept reminding that something serious is wrong, and hence, high anixety that won't go away.
Yesterday, I decided to put an end to the fear of the unknown. I made an appointment with an orthopedist specialist. It will cost me 200 bucks up front since I can't get insurance. At this point, I'll pay anything to get my life back.
As far as I know, these nurabness sensations are caused by two things: blood flow restriction and nerve problems. Would this type of doctor be able to determine which is causing my problem? I can't afford another wasted visit. I saw my family doc about this two weeks, 110 bucks gone without a definite diagnosis. I just hope maybe there is some tell tell sign that could rule out a clogged artery in my leg or arm. Maybe I'm better off seeing a cardiologist first, but nerve problems are scary as hell too.
