I think I sorted out a prescription refill snafu before it became a problem. (My Ativan prescription needs to be renewed once a calendar year, and apparently this is that time of year, as I found when I went to refill it and got a "refill denied" message. Good people of my primary care practice, we're about to launch into my husband's cancer treatment, with potentially bad bad bad side effects [and, of course, no statistical guarantee that he will be cured, although the cure rates are way up in the 90s% and he has many many good things on his side], so I am very much going to need that antianxiety medication refilled posthaste.) I actually called the doctor's office and spoke to a human, and I think the prescription renewal is now awaiting approval from Awesome Doctor.
I also have to take prednisone yet again (I've already taken it at least twice this calendar year, and I really don't like taking it so often) to try to calm down the pain in my hip and quad. PT is already helping in some areas, but it also leaves me in some pain the next day. The physical therapist has been modifying/switching up some of the exercises to avoid the ones causing actual pain, but she also agreed that there's undoubtedly some angry inflammation going on there that steroids could knock down.
