pjost - I hope you heal soon and back at it, better than before. I have never had any medical issues until 2012, then started having problems with blood circulation to my legs and feet (below the knees). I'm learning about the good and the bad of our medical system, with a good insurance plan, medical needs are prioritized by the insurance company. Doctors working to mitigate cost of litigation more than a medical cure. The good part, you learn about your overall health, medical risk identified or eliminated and eventually the testing narrows to probable causes. The bad part, a slow and expensive medical system, all so their industry is protected in the court room.
I suffered a secondary injury (broken wrist) 10 weeks ago, because at times I have problems with balance/coordination. I stumbled and took a bad fall, so be careful everyone, don't let one medical problem cause you another injury. My primary care doctor assures me there are just a few more test procedures. A actual diagnosis's will allow for a treatment or procedure for me. I sure hope so, I now know medical issues can affect everything you once took for granted. I know what you are going through, I'm aggravated, in pain, board, have ability limitations and not working on what I should be. It really SUCKS, as I pay monthly for medial insurance that sucks more than all of my medical issues!
There is a positive side (I think?), spending more time with family activities than the work ones. Got to find some good out of the bad. A "it could always be worse" assessment helps me from kicking a wall and that would only cause more pain!
