Today I have a diagnostic ultrasound and mammogram on my breasts. Over the last several months, I have experienced a severe amount of pain that could be from my RSD that sent me to the ER. In the ER I was referred for these tests, as well as to see a breast surgeon because I have some concerning lumps, fluid and pain. Today is the beginning of those appointments.
I am still in a severe amount of pain and I’m pretty nervous about these tests because they are painful. Having your boobs smashed like a pancake isn’t pleasant for anyone, add in the RSD and you are talking a whole different level of pain.
I’m actually scared. I’m more scared of the pain from the procedures than I am about the results at this moment. I’m not going to stress about the results because it may be nothing. It could just be my RSD and the fibroids that I was diagnosed with as a teen. It could end up being something I just have to deal with.
On the other hand, it could be something more. But could be isn’t “is”. So for now it just “isn’t”. Possibilities from today could lead to me needing to have a needle biopsy done. This is something that I really do not want to have done with my RSD. So my hopes are that today they can see exactly what is going on…figure it out and move on with life.
I would love your prayers that everything goes smoothly and that I can get through the pain.
