I get the ultrasound of both hands and wrists Wednesday. I’m nervous because I’ve been mistreated so many times I’m afraid that even though I’m visibly swollen and my blood labs are abnormal,
I’m picturing the test showing nothing wrong. And then it looks like I’m some kind of baby who can’t handle minor pain. And that will cause the dr to be mean.
It’s stupid, I know. But the dr wanted me to take the 1st available appointment and it’s at 3pm, which is the time of day I have the least pain and swelling of course.
Im thinking your dr wanted you to take the first available appointment because they agree with you that something is wrong and that the ultrasound is an important diagnostic tool to help figure out the source of the pain.
it will be fine…you are just scared right now…the ultrasound will help them find out what’s wrong…there IS something wrong…so don’t worry…trust the doctors.
