Unfortunately, on a related note, I also now know that I have a cyst in my leg. :(
My leg was hurting Friday night and I thought it was just a sore muscle. But Rick massaging it didn't help, and it didn't get any better on it's own. So today I decided that I had to go to urgent care and after the xray showed nothing they sent me over to Methodist for an MRI.
There's a cyst in my left leg about 6" below the knee and off to the side. Tomorrow I go see a specialist and find out if they'll just drain it somehow or if I get to have surgery. Yay. Either way it's gotta go because it's right by a nerve. Fun.

From what I understand cysts are usually not serious (i.e cancerous) but I know they want to get this one taken care of ASAP because it is affecting my nerve. The ibuprofen I took is helping a lot with the pain, but isn't doing anything for the area that is numb sometimes.
I hope the solution is simple and painless
And if it's not painless, hopefully it will be quick and there will be good painkillers. :) Cysts are usually fairly routine, so I'm not panicked about it yet...
Hopefully, it can be drained. Still sucks to have to deal with it.
Go Packers?
Pain's not too bad today, but I haven't heard when they'll be able to get me scheduled to have it removed yet.
