| what is wrong with me?
so recently i had acl and meniscus reconstruction. about 6 weeks ago now. a few weeks after surgery i got what doctors said was viral labs (vertigo), so i delt with that for 3 weeks, had a cat scan came back normal. so vertigo starts goin away, then i start gettin tingling down my left arm, muscle weakness in my left side of body including leg. so i start freaking out, reading everything horrible that could be going wrong with me. so i get bloodwork done, comes back normal. then i see neurologist, or however u spell it, gives me some physical tests there in office which are normal, and has me get MRI with and without contrast. so luckily, it comes back normal also. the doctor says the weakness is probably because i used crutches wrong and pinched nerves off in arm pit (crutch palsy) and my leg is due to overcompensating for my knee surgery. now i feel glad that everything has come back normal, but just the other day i started gettin muscle twitches around my body. i've been under a great deal of stress, worrying about my health, and really i think im going crazy. i mean i believe what the docs are saying , but then i feel like im never satisfied with what i hear, always thinking something else is wrong. i'm basically posting this to get peoples opinion on whats going on with me. so if u think i should shut up and trust my docs then tell me so.. cuz frankly im tired of worrying so much about it.. im only 22 years old and want to get back to normal really bad. thanks for listening to this rambling
