I have an irrational fear of doctors, so hoping it resolves on its own.

Edit: I'm going to the ER, this seems kinda serious. I hope it's not DVT, that would complicate getting bottom surgery...

Edit2: I've been told it's an infection. Apparently, a blood test confirmed it. I don't have a clot and a D-dimer test returned 560 ng/ml, which I'm getting checked again with my GP on Monday. I got some antibiotics (for free) and I'm supposed to take those for a week. Thank you everyone for convincing me to go ❤️

Doctor we do not fear you.

We fear insurance.

We love you and wish we could visit more often - sincerely, the American people

    As someone who tried to walk off a DVT for a few days, the doctors/nurses were the nicest part of the process.

    Insurance denied my prescription though. I was back in the ER the next day when the clot broke apart and compromised my lungs. Fuck insurance.
