Note To Self: Stop Playing Doctor and Self Diagnosing

I have no medical training whatsoever past what I have learned from my doctors in their appointments. So why do I waste any time trying to figure out what is wrong with me? Last night I was lying in bed and trying to decide what was causing the pain in my ankle? Was it referred pain from my knee or hip? Or is it a new pain and what could be the source? Is it worthy of going to the doctor any sooner than my scheduled appointment at the end of the month? I really don ' t want any more doctor appointments but pain is pain.And am I trying to self diagnose myself so my doctor can just confirm what I thought it was?I have no idea what is currently wrong with me this time. I know it isn ' t that serious and I am not dripping blood so I am not rushing to seek medical care. But I wouldn ' t mind knowing the source of this....For all I know my doctors are going to say something ' helpful ' like " I ' m not really sure what the cause of it is, its probably from either your RA or fibromyalgia and there is no real way to tell. " I get a lot of that.What I really just want is a cure for everything and since my doctors have yet to find the magic wand with that magic cure, so I am trying on my own.
