So I mistakenly went to my primary care doctor thinking that I needed a referral to an orthopedic surgeon when it turns out that I don't need a referral at all and I could have just gone for it. Oops.
The doctor visit was uninspiring. I explained the injury and he said, "Did it hurt?" and I said, "Uh, YEAH! And still does." He took one look at the swelling and decided that he basically was going to leave it alone and let the ortho. treat it. Oh, and I can take 4 advil instead of 2 for the pain. That should help, since 2 wasn't cutting it.
Alas, I'll keep you updated on the latest. I know you're all at the edge of your seats waiting for it.
