Good morning Lori.
No, I haven't received the results yet. My doctor orders labs, and sets an appointment up two weeks after the blood tests. I don't like waiting that long. I'm sure the results are available faster nowadays. I know I'm acting like " the sky is falling" , but it seems as this condition checks all the boxes. I haven't researched ITP that much ( you are correct, not IDP) so I am just plugging in my symptoms. They don't give medical degrees from Google. I am definitely just pulling that diagnosis out of thin air. I, unfortunately, do that quite frequently.
Although I did prolong a knee replacement recently. I went to my knee surgeon and he looked at my xrays and said my left knee had to go. I told my doctor that my knee hurts, but not to the extent, and location of the pain as my right knee that he replaced. I requested a second opinion and the other surgeon said my pain was from a Bakers cyst. He did say that my knee would need to be replaced eventually. I'm glad I postponed the knee replacement. I don't know if my current condition would have made my knee surgery more of a risk.
In any event, yes I am self diagnosing my symptoms. I bet there are a lot of us that do that. I hope whatever it is it's manageable. I'm finally retired at 67, and I have grandbabies to spoil.
I'm wondering if my symptoms could be something I haven't looked into yet. Are there any internet doctors out there that can offer a second opinion?
