On my mind. . .

So anyway getting back to every little pain and soreness. . . From the start of my Oct 2006 event, I have had a pain in my mid-back area on the left side. It is about at the base of the rear ribcage area. It has been a tender spot in the years since my right scapula went south (literally). Doctors have assumed (since they know nothing of the bilateral tendencies of NA or the fact that it can involve other plexus sites) that the soreness was simply due to my body trying to rebalance itself against the losses of my right side. What has changed recently is that this tender spot is not just noticeable in movement. I feel a general ache type sensation on the left when I take a deep breath. Glancing at imagery on the web of the diaphragm location, it is at least a possibility that this tender ache type area is at least close to my diaphragm since I see that the diaphragm takes a dip down as it nears the back of the ribs. It may also just be a sore muscle that is aching now because I am taking more deep breaths that usual. Anyway, I guess if it is just a sore muscle my question would be as to why it has not gone away in more than two years. This is just another weird thing I may not ever know for sure.

One other thing that has bugged me for a number of years is my left hip. Back prior to either of my more recent events in 2001 or 2006; I had a sore left hip. In fact it was one reason I chose to get an automatic transmission car in 1999. It was just getting too hard to use a clutch with my left leg getting harder to move with ease. This also has not healed since. There have been times it felt almost better, but recently it has seemed to slip a bit. I have to lift my leg into the car. If I stand too long, it feels like my leg is just being dragged after me. I have a bit of a limp going when walking now. Some have noticed this and asked if I have leg pain. No. There is not real pain most times. It just feels weak.

Are either of these related to HNA? Since they have not healed I have to think they must be related. It bothers me. It makes my temper short. And that bothers me more. But, I do not look sick. That is all that matters to some. And I guess that bothers me even more.
