Spent most of today in hospital with swmbo
« on: 01 January 2012, 21:38:37 »
Her foot and calf have been playing up and a very bad night last night so took her to the 'walk in centre' who suspected DVT so then spent several hours on EAU...... ::) ::) ::) Tests say not DVT but no real explanation, so sent home with pain killers and the suggestion that is is some form of fluid from a cyst behind the knee. Typicaly she has been on line and symptoms do not match the diagnosis......... :-\ :-\ She is struggling to walk and in pain so got a take away on the way home from the hospital.......Oh well Happy New Year........ ::) ::) ::)

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

I hope Mrs Cakey gets better soon.  Kick up a fuss, if they have let you go without a diagnosis then they are being lazy.  Go to the GP and demand they look at it more closely.

Thanks Paul, and Guffer, I guessed what you meant..........I don't think either of us are particularly happy about not having a specific diagnosis, they suggested 'ruptured Bakers Cyst' but this does not explain some of her problems.......

Unfortunately, in this age of tinterweb thingamy-jigs, it is easy to look up symptoms for near enough any issue and some people will manage to interpret them in different ways ;)

Best bet is to follow the advice given and if you still aren't happy tomorrow then you can always make another trip ;)

We will see how it goes, and go to GP or back to hospital as needed......she is no wimp, that is me, so if she is complaining, something is wrong........ :(

No, they talked about a scan on Tuesday but apparently the blood tests ruled out the need.... :-\ :-\ We have some excellent GP's and we will follow through with them on Tuesday if necessary..... :y

Best of luck Mrs Vamps. And as said, I'm quite sure something can be found on the Internet to support any fact or theory. However diverse, which is worrying.
