I'm stucked again here in our house. My leg felt terribly painful. After 5 days of rest, I thought I'm beginning to recover. But I was sorry cos its still hurt, and even worst. Now, my doctor recommended me a week rest, means a week leave too from work. OMG, I'm still in my probationary period, so as much as possible I have to lessen my absences and tardiness, but then instances won't allow. So now I'm not hoping to gain my permanency on my work anymore. Goodbye bonuses, goodbye 13th-14th month pay, goodbye mid-year bonus, goodbye allowances, and goodbye to other benefits. Hu-Hu (T_T)Anyways, on the other side I'm happy I can have a rest after those stressful days. Yep! very stressful, due to those clients who act as if they were VIPs.
By the way, I'm now working in a bank as a teller. I'm supposed to be turning 2 months employed in that bank this coming 16, while turning 2 months this 27 in the branch. I am assigned at Boni, way too far from my home here in Pasig. That's so far cos were almost near at Marikina.My calf started to have cramps when I began working in a branch. This is because of that stupid heels! We are required to wear shoes that should have at least 1 1/2 inches heels. Actually I'm not used of wearing heels everyday. I'm most comfortable wearing flat shoes, flip-flops and rubber shoes. So, I think, that made my calf muscle to contract so painful. Right now, I'm taking a medicine which has higher dose than mefenamic acid, but it's also a pain reliver.
Last week, Wednesday, I decided to have a sick leave because I can't take the pain anymore. I went to the doctor for a check-up. He prescribed me a mefenamic acid to be taken 3 times a day after meal. He also ask me to take 2 days more rest. And so beginning wednesday till friday I was absent on my work. I took the medicine for 5days that last untill sunday. I thought I'm beginning to feel good until monday came, I already stopped the medicine, I came back to work, when later afternoon I felt the sudden pain again, becoming worst and worst that I had to take the medicine again. And so by tuesday, I still depend on the medicine to be able to walk. Later afternoon, I still felt the pain and so I took the pain reliever again. At night, even though it felt so bad, I tried not to take it anymore untill I became asleep. Wednesday morning, just got up, I was crying going downstairs to the comfort room, supposedly to take a bath. But I can't hardly step down. This is ultimately the worst moment, and so I decided not to come to work. Later that morning, went to the hospital to have a check-up again, this time another physician attended me. He ask me to take 1 week rest, 3 sessions of therapy and a high dose of medicine for a week. He said if there's still no improvement, I'll undergo the biopsy. OMG! That sounds scary!
Wednesday, after the check-up, I took the leg x-ray. Thursday, I got a schedule for my 1st therapy. They placed over my leg some aparatus. There's a lot of cords, it felts like grounds going through my veins, making my muscle to contract. On the top of that cords, they placed a hot compress. It was like a big towel. It felt sooo gooooood! 2nd step was the massage using the machine somewhat like an ultrasound. The therapist just rubbing around making a circular motion over my calf. Then the last step was a typical hand massage. He sprinkled some powder on my leg then he started to massage it, and that was so relaxing, makes me feel like I can't wait for my 2nd session.
