I'm 90% sure I dislocated it again on Saturday as we were walking out of the restaurant for our anniversary dinner...it was a split second and if it happened, it popped right back in, which would make sense since I'm in a brace and was on a crutch. It hurt, but like I said, it was a split second and I'm not completely sure that it happened.
Anyway, the doctor said to call him immediately if it happened again b/c we'd need to at least start seriously talking about surgery...I call just now and am told that they won't see me until July 5 unless I go to urgent care, regardless of the fact that I'm already seeing this guy for the same fucking injury AND there's nothing for urgent care to look at! And to top it off, the bitch that answered the phone won't even have anyone call me back since my doctor and his medical assistant are both out of town this week. Sooooo, I guess there's one goddamn orhtopedic in the entire building?!
I'm so pissed! All I want is to get this thing fixed!

Ugh, that's terrible, I hope someone returns your call or you can locate another doctor to fit you in sooner. Pain needs to be treated, not pushed for a few weeks! I'm so sorry you are going through this, I hope it wasn't anything serious and that you don't need surgery.
That sucks, maybe try calling again and talking to someone else. There was no reason for her be so rude to you. hugs
This is what I was thinking. I hope you gte some relief soon!
Yeah, I think I'm going to call again this afternoon. I'm just so frustrated with this whole damn thing. I've had some kind of injury every year for the past 4 and I just want to catch a fucking break!

I'm so sorry, Duff. I can't believe they brushed you aside, and saying you need to go to urgent care is complete BS. I hope you feel better and can get in soon.
It's the urgent care thing that I don't get...I mean, it seems like a complete waste of time and money for me to go for something that isn't even a current problem...and it's not just MY time and money - it's urgent care's, my insurance's, etc etc etc.
