Doctor's Visit Again

I just had my third visit with my internist doctor today. I’ve seen him at least three times already in the past two weeks. During my last visit, I made an appointment with him to see him on May 10, Saturday, for my follow-up schedule. But, again, I needed to see him today because of this recurring pain that I had been feeling on the left side corner of my brain. It has been four days already since I felt this throbbing pain. I don’t know if this is a side effect of my medication, or it has something to do with my diabetes. When I went to see my doctor this afternoon, he was very cordial and accepting. After I was initially screened and checked-up by the Med Tech Nurse, I was ushered in to talk with my doctor. He took my blood pressure – and he was happy to inform me that my blood pressure was very normal and low. He checked my mouth and ears, for any indication of inflammation – but everything turned out negative. I explained and informed him about this throbbing pain on the left side of my brain – that I feel this only in the afternoon and evening. He was not able to explain to me why. I wanted him to discuss about every scenario why I have this pain now. But I didn’t get any sufficient answer from him on this. Anyway, I told him that when I feel the pain, I usually take in Motrin 500 mg – and it relieves the pain immediately. He told me to continue taking it. Also, he prescribed me a gel like medicine which I should use whenever I feel this pain again. I have not started using this gel yet. I still have to get it from the drugstore by Monday. Well, I am not really very optimistic about this. But, let’s see what happens. In the meantime, I made an appointment with my doctor to see him again on May 10, for my blood works and for my follow-up exams. I don’t really know, but a doctor’s visit maybe a continuing routine from here on. God help me.
