Or i could go to my family doctor and get the same results. The only time i have to pull out my wallet, is for the $5 of a persciption that isn't covered by my drug coverage(provided by my employer). I can't even imagine how you guys as a civilized society don't have a better health care system.

Meh, i've had a lot of experience with our health care system, both myself and with very close family, and i'd say i'm 95% happy with everything. I was born with a fucked up foot and was never supposed to walk, i'm perfectly fine. 3 years ago my mother had a brain tumor removed only a week or two after being diagnosed. The only negative experience i've had was a botched hernia surgery my father had, which was quickly fixed after some sever swelling on his junk. Lol, our system if FAR from perfect, but it sure as ---- beats no system at all.

Are you getting any other pains with it? I had the same problem, mostly mucus, tiny bit of blood, chest pains, then I had full out attack the one day, turns out it was pleurisy, and I could've died from that ----. Go to the docs pronto

yeah i agree. go see a doc. last night me and a few friends were drinking and got to the last beer. we started fighting over it. my friend weighs in at 284 and i weigh 176. he had me pinned on the ground and i picked him up and started to roll him off and he landed on my ankle. my girl heard my ---- pop about 8 times from about 10 feet away. today its swelled up and hurts so bad that i have taken 2200 mg of hydrocodine acetamenophine. ( im not going to argue the percent of hydrocodine with whoever that was like last time) my ankle is swelled like hell and hurts around the achilles tendon. i havent gotten my health insurance card from the state yet and dont want to go to the er till i have to so im waiting till tomorrow when they are going to fax my health insurance to the doc and let me come in. this sucks.
