“HIP” to be Square

Nope, don’t get me wrong, I am not doing some kind of hippy dance like those 65’s MPs : P

For the whole of last week, my right hip has been giving me some aching problem. I consulted my company doctor and was given some painkiller. I was referred for X-ray which I did on Saturday.

However, on Sunday morning, the pain got a bit too much for me to bear with, so I told Adrian to bring me to the A&E and we went to Tan Tock Seng hospital A&E. We brought Anthea to my MIL place and Anders followed us to the hospital. MIL volunteered to look after the 2 of them but we were worried as Anders could be a bit too handy for her.

We reached the hospital around 10am and while registering, I nearly fainted. The nurse in attendance immediately wheeled me into the room for the doctor to check on. The doctor checked and asked me some questions concerning my pain complaint. I was put on drip as he mentioned that my blood pressure was low. Then after that, I was brought for X-ray and then observation room while waiting for the result.

While I was at the observation room, Adrian brought Anders to have his lunch at the food court. After 2 hours of observation, the doctor came and advised that the X-ray was fine. He mentioned that the pain could be due to wear and tear of the bone, thus he is referring me for an appointment with the Orthopedic. I was given 2 days of MC for Sunday & Monday. The doctor also prescribed some painkiller and ointment for application to the affected area.

I think the cause of this pain may has resulted from my lunch time yoga as Adrian suggested, he think that I may have over stretch myself thus causing the muscle to sore. Anyway, I am now waiting for my review with the specialist to see what is happening to my Hip. Hopefully, this will not dampen my March holiday plan... : (
