100 cc's!!!!!

My knee swelled up again about 2 weeks ago this past thursday. I had to cancel my tests and go to the dr that morning. Ok, well the dr was full so I saw the PA and he didn't even want to drain it because it wasn't infected, it was just reoccuring fluid.I was in sooo much pain. He left the room for 20 minutes(after being in there for not even 5 minutes) and then finally came back and said they would put in a referral to a doctor at Southwestern Hosptial in Dallas, and they decided (Him and my actual Doc) to go ahead and drain it. Thank the lord! He ended up pulling off 100cc's of fluid! thats a ton! and its now going on three weeks and I still haven't heard back about that referral or next doctor. Figures, its a doctors office. He did give me some pills 500mg for inflammation to take twice a day for two weeks. Maybe that what helped it. (I really only took it for 8 of the 14 days. I have such a hard time though taking pills, and They were so big I had to break them in half. We will see how long until the next time.
