Been better, been worse, I suppose. I'm honestly not feeling too
great about winding up here, but what can you do? As long as you
guys can help me out with this leg of mine and whatever's been
making me so dizzy, I'll be as right as rain.
I'm sorry you feel that way. I am going to do what I can to help you
feel better.

Are you having any pain?
Question
10/06/18
12:38 PM EDT
It doesn't hurt too bad right now. The meds they gave me in the
ER helped with that.
Where do you hurt?
Question
10/06/18
12:38 PM EDT
In my lower left leg, around the calf. It was getting hard to bear... I
was thinking of coming here even before I fell this morning.

Question

It's like a sharp, nagging feeling. Kind of like someone's been

like.)
How did you hurt your leg?
Question
10/06/18
12:40 PM EDT
I bruised up my legs in the fall, but that's not a serious injury. If

for a couple days.

Question
10/06/18
12:42 PM EDT
I'm not too sure, but it could be my arthritis I suppose... but this
pain is a lot different and a lot more intense from how my arthritis
usually is. And even if it was, that doesn't explain these dizzy spells
I'm getting. (Clarified to what I think caused my pain.)
When did you start getting dizzy spells?
Question

Before these last two weeks I never had much trouble with it, but
lately I'm dizzy whenever I stand up.
Do you have a history of falls?

last prescription, about two weeks ago.
