Xray Done

Had done my Xray. Couldnt stand it no more. Gonna fix this!

Good news: Slipped disc ruled out.

Bad news: some shadow found between my lower back and thigh area. Doc is not able to detect what is that shadow. It could be as simple as nerves sitting on nerves, muscles sitting on nerves (which Ben said I have no muscles to begin with -_-"") or worst case, kidney stones sitting on nerve. I totally reject the last reason! Had also found out that my spine has a teeny weeny abnormal degree from normal folks. Was told that everyone has some curvature in the spine near the lower end but mine is straight. This was since birth and it should not be the cause of the pain I'm having. Weird thing is why the nurses in school last time not detect this? I remembered them taking some ruler thingy to measure our back didn't they?

So I gonna wait till 9 Nov to take my ultrascan to see what the heck is that shadow about! Yes NOV!!! Gonna endure the pain for another 1.5 mths. So absurd but this is the earliest appt. Seriously, one hurdle after another. I hope this is the last. The first start with my IBS seeing the gastrologist, then some spotting problems seeing the gynae. Now this spine seeing a orthopeadic. I think I'm going to be introduced to all the specialist names soon! Crap rite? Worst thing is all the money I'm spending because every damn case will be refered to a specialist and cant be solved at the GP level.

Consolation: I can walk , sit and sleep normally. I do not need to hunch my back. Only sudden changes in positions or prolong sitting/standing will cause the pain. If not, I'm pretty normal like any of you. I'm just very afraid to sneeze that's all.

Anyway, amidst all these nonsense, I do not know why MOE suddenly gave me a 20% increment this month. I wasnt told that I will have any confirmation increment and besides, I'm not confirmed yet too. I just hope it's not a mistake like years ago otherwise, I will have to pay them back. It's not that I'm complaining but I find it fishy. Anyway, will check again in Oct. hopefully it really stays...
