Well, I had the sacraliliac joint xray done this morning and I was very
uncomfortable lying on that cold, hard xray table. My right side (the
problem side) was very sore in that position (of course it wasn't as bad
in the doctor's office yesterday). My imagination is starting to run
away with me and I am starting to think some very gruesome thoughts.
Things like spinal mets. I don't want to hear bad news but also don't
want to hear that the xray is "normal". Another waiting game begins.
