Went into Doc Today

[xcelbeyond]

My regular doctor was off, so I scheduled my appointment with another young doctor in this clinic. I could tell that I had him very uncomfortable when I was describing my situation. He thought it to be VERY unusual that if it were an infection that it would at least hurt somewhat, be swollen or have redness/warm to the touch. He did ask me if my arm was swollen or if it was always like that

He refered me to someone who was more versed in working with "bodybuilding-type" injuries - an orthopedist. This doc seemed to think it was an abcess, fluid formed around some irritant.

He had me take some soft tissue x-rays and I have then in my possession. I'm taking them with me to the orthopod's this Monday. They seem to look OK to me - nothing glaring stands out. I just pulled them out and looked at then

Sounds like

It was just a non-infectious abcess. Something would be worse than that if it was an infection. There is some REAL PAIN associated with infections that we could get.

Glad it hasn't gotten any worse, Xcel. And that you're in good spirits.

Jethro, you'll like my newest...

As I'm sure you know you start to get all sorts of silly comments when show time nears, even more than off-season. When I get asked if I "work out," I like to say, in a light-hearted way:

"What are you talking about?... Dude this is a birth defect and I would appreciate it if you didn't make fun of me..."

XCEL,

It could just be your freaky BICEP BRACI growing?? I saw those in person and boy are they a genetic gift and hard work.

I hope it all works out...
