Just because the person next to me has two broken legs, donesn't mean my one broken leg doesn't hurt!
Looking forward to hearing about your doctor appointment. In the meantime - taking painkillers is not a bad thing. Bravo to you for being a teacher. I'd have swallowed the whole bottle of something by now if I had to teach!
