Update on Andrew's Leg!
Okay so for those of you that know Andrew has had problems with his leg since Dec. He has been to at least 6 different doctors and yet none of them seem to know exactly what the problem is. Most of the doctors seem to think it's a torn muscle but are not 100% sure. Before they actually knew that might be the problem the PA told him he was ok to continue to run on his leg, doing ruck marches etc... Anyways that caused more problems! One doctor sent him to DC back in May but once again they did nothing except tell him it was a waste to send him to the states and that this could've been takin care of here in Germany! It has been very frustrating because all the doctors just seem to pon him off from doctor after doctor and yet Andrew has been so patient through all of this unlike me. I just can't figure out how these doctors don't know anything! They have had him do physical therapy which hasn't done much his leg still hurts him everyday, he says the pain is so bad it feels like a charlie horse all the time. I hardly ever hear him complain he is just use to the pain. (I guess that's the soldier in him.) Well to make a LONG story short Andrew was finally seen by a really good doctor last week and he seems to know what he's doing, but that's what we thought about all the other doctors. He says this is very rare what is wrong which makes us think it's more than a torn muscle. This doctor said he would research everything over the week and that surgery might be a possibility, we will find out sometime this week i will let you all know what we find out!!!

I hope his leg gets feeling better. I had one bad charlie horse when I was pregnant, and I honestly thought I was dying. It was horrbile. So way to be a trooper Andrew. Hopefully they will figure out what is wrong. And MAYBE it will require some sort of attention that only a doctor in UTAH will be able to take care of. And then you will both come back here. :) I can always hope can't I?
Yeah to finally have some kind of answer that has to make you both feel better. How did he hurt it.
Yay! I can't believe how long he has put up with this! I hope they figure out what is wrong soon! Keep us updated!
Great to finally have someone who knows something. We are praying this doctor will be able to figure it out! Keep us posted!
That is so stressful! You always want doctors to just fix the problem and when your sent on a goose chase it sucks! I hope that this one can help him!
I can feel your frustration in all of this. How annoying it must be to go from one dr. to the next and not know anything. Hopefully this one has an idea that might be right (fingers crossed). Keep us updated and good luck with it all.
When I was little I used to think Doctors knew everything about how to fix people. Now I know different. I am so sorry that Andrew has had to go through so much! I hope this doc can give some better answers.
I think he needs to see a doctor in Utah...because I miss you and would really love to see you soon!!
Hey Girl, I am so sorry to hear the news... how frustrating! Are the doctors there really that competent? It doesn't sound like it... wish you were here in the States, they may have figured it out sooner! Please keep us updated.
I know we talked about talking each Wednesday, but I won't be around this Wednesday. I'm in Wy. with Bill until the weekend, so try me the following week! I'd love to talk to you again. Miss you girl.
Love Ya.
