A bit perplexing, actually...
Never even saw the doc. Saw her NP and PA instead. The PA seemed very unsure 'cause of all the different locations the pain and swelling is. She ruled out infection 'cause there was no heat at the sites, and I'm not running a fever. She sent me off with some anti inflammatory samples, and then down the road to a lab for a blood draw to check uric acid levels.
A bit disappointing...

Anyway, the lab results may not be back before the weekend, but, she said she would call tomorrow regardless to see how I was doing with the anti inflammatory.
I was 5th in line at the lab, and by the time they got to me I was in a lot more pain.
I'm much better now that I'm at home with my legs up in bed.
Thanks for asking...!
