Update.....
Went to see the doctor today. What a waste of time that was. Other than putting my mind at rest. The conversation:
Me - i think i’ve got a thrombosed vein
Him - lets take a look, yes you’re right - it is.
So then he tells me it will go away over the course of the next month and not to stop having sex or anything.
He was practically sniggering as he diagnosed me ” i’ve never seen a thrombosis there before, was it a particularly, ahem, vigorous intercourse ehm” (can’t be many pe’ers round my neck of the woods then!:) ).
Also - wouldn’t precribe me anticoagulants and didn’t even advise hot wraps or ibuprofen.:(
I tell you, i get less and less confidence in the medical community in this country.(it may be free but at least if you pay for it like in the u.s. it seems they actually want to help you get better quicker instead of just seeing how cheaply they can do it - whatever the timescale)
Whats the point in bloody medicine if all you are ever advised to do is wait and see what happens on its own?
Anyway - thats the end of my rant for the meanwhile.
I can’t wait to get back at it.
