Did I mention before that I have back pain and it is
affecting my left leg as well? If I did then… I want you (I don’t know who I am
talking to *laughs nervously*) to know that I’m going to do Magnetic Resonance
Imaging (MRI) procedure tomorrow.
Honestly, I never thought my pain would be this scary. I
thought a pack of painkillers would actually kill the pain. But four weeks passed and the pain is excruciating
as ever.
The last time I saw my doctor, Dr. K (not Dato’ K #malayjokes), he suspected my spine is
somehow dented and it affected the nerve circulation of my left leg. That is
how much I understand his explanation because believe me, he almost made me a
doctor by saying all those medical terms.
In the end, he suggested to go through MRI and see if his
suspicion is true. I agreed to it because this pain is starting to bother me. I
am pretty much a chill person, so I don’t really care if I’m ill or in pain
because I believe, it will all go away eventually, after numerous amount of
sleep. However this time round, I am not so sure.
My conversation with
Dr. K went like this,
Dr. K: So, how are you
feeling girl? (Flipped through my medical report)
Me: Uhhh, been the
same for the past four weeks I think.
Dr. K: Sigh. Poor you…
You’re 24 but your leg’s condition is 84.
Me: Ha. Ha. My
grandmother said the same thing!
Dr. K: Okay. Now let’s
do some leg exercise.
Which I didn’t do
well. Apparently.
Dr. K: How much do you know about spines?
Me: Nothing. (I decided to be honest here)
Dr. K: Ahh… of course. You are an engineer.
He smirked. Sigh. I
shouldn’t have told him.
He went on explaining about the spines, the nerves,
muscles and so on, for about 5 minutes.
Dr. K: But that was just what I suspected. I suggest
it’s better to do MRI to confirm this. Do you have any question?
Me: I won’t ask you how much will it cost, you
can tell that to my mother but when do I do this thing?
Dr. K: As soon as possible. I will ask the nurse to
check the availability with the scanning department.
Me: Uuuuuh... It’s not scary
right?
Dr. K: Naaahh, it’s just like going through a
large ringed donut.
I just nodded. But
the thing is… I’ve never been through a donut. Has anyone ever?
Ps. By any chance anyone read this, please pray for me #patheticme #thankyou
