Patient: And then I played basketball, I guess, a couple, I went, I went relatively hard and made a couple of like, serious moves by the time I was done, like just the session, it was hurting, going up the stairs hurt a lot, and then, and it just, it just gets progressively worse, like, each day.
Doctor: So you're on Tylenol and you're on Celebrex.
Patient: Yes.
Doctor: So it looks like you have a knee sprain. Could be a medial collateral based on the location. Could be a meniscal. Yeah, so what we'll do is we'll ask the physiotherapist to see you.
Patient: Okay. All right. And then MRI or cast scan or ultrasound or anything like that.
Doctor: Well, maybe, maybe in the future, if it doesn't get better, a lot of these will get better without that. I'm going to increase your Celebrex to twice a day.
Patient: Okay.
Doctor: And that's going to be for 14 days.
Patient: Yeah.
Doctor: The times 14 days, then go back to 100 daily. I would say not to do any exercise specific with the turning or, you know, like the basketball is very jarring on it.
Patient: Yeah. I've been taking time off from lower body for sure. Um, I spoke with a physio, what was it last week? So he confirmed that, um, my right leg from my knee to my ankle is an inch shorter because of an injury I sustained when I was 10.
Doctor: Okay.
Patient: I was in SickKids Hospital for like a month and a half. It was pretty bad. But, um, so he confirmed that and he confirmed my shoulder popped out, so I was asking for more pain meds from before. Like I'm always okay, I just deal with it, but that's a start.
Doctor: So we'll get that going for you.
Patient: Okay. Is there anything you can do about my night meds, my sleep meds?
Doctor: What's your sleep meds?
Patient: It should have been, well, it should be Zafaclone, I guess what it is on the street, uh, Zafaclone. And I get, my doctor prescribed me two of the small tabs of, uh, Seroquel. But what you guys gave me here was 125. I turned down the 25 during the day because I didn't want it during the day. Uh, and I had a hundred at night and I went to Lindsay and they accused me of, uh, courting. And then I didn't sleep for like a month because that place is a nightmare. Uh, and I don't, I'm not one to afford meds, but I also don't like to take sleep meds at 6 PM. I'm sorry.
Doctor: Pardon me. Can I put you on melatonin for sleep?
Patient: Okay. If you can do that, that's great. Other than that, I need to see, uh, someone else who knows sleep meds. Cause I got, I've been saying, I, I've been like, I don't know, psych or someone. Cause I, I've been dealing with sleep deprivation since I was a child for trauma. I have PTSD from cops, PTSD from the military. Sleep is always an issue for me, right? I'm comfortable being uncomfortable so I can go for a few days of sleep no matter what.
Doctor: So I would treat you with melatonin for sleep.
Patient: Okay. Uh, you just told me that somebody accused you of courting.
Patient: Yes. And I took it for two days and I didn't sleep for the rest of the day. I'm just, I'm just being honest with you guys. Maybe I shouldn't be, because I tell you guys the truth and you guys, we know that.
Doctor: Thank you for that. All right, Gordon.
Patient: My pleasure. Good luck with everything, man.
Doctor: All right.
