After nine years, spending $1500 a month on medication for several months and many missed opportunities because of pain . . . I FINALLY got a diagnosis for my severe elbow pain! I have a small bone in my elbow that never fused properly to the rest of my elbow. It’s kinda just hanging out there. Since it’s not attached, it’s floating around, irritating ligaments and tendons and bruising my elbow.

I can’t thank Commonwealth Orthopedics in Edgewood, KY and Dr. James Holladay enough. I have an MRI at 7:30pm tonight and then a surgery consult on February 11. Then I’ll have surgery to remove the loose bone! I’m nervous, of course, but happier than I’ve been in years because there is an end in sight to my constant pain! I won’t be able to be on my computer for a while after surgery–no idea how long yet, but it’s worth it. So worth it.

Again, thank you, Dr. Holladay! 🙂

TGIF, everyone!
