I heard back from the doctor today and they finally got all my blood-work results in! The good news is that everything looked okay - my white blood cell count was a little high, but nothing that indicated something more serious. The Epstein-Barr lab was positive and the levels were abnormally high (this is the virus that causes mono). So, they are trying to get me in quickly to see a specialist who should be able to do some further testing and pinpoint why I keep getting this!
On the other front, I am meeting with my back doctor next week to discuss and schedule the first steroid injection into my sacroiliac joint. I will continue seeing the physical therapist weekly to work on addressing the bulging disc and, hopefully, these shots will help with the problems I've been experiencing with my hip. I also got my "wedge" and have been faithfully wearing it in my shoe to help my short leg stay in balance with the longer one and keep my hips level when I walk. It is definitely a process, but I am optimistic that we will find a resolution! :)
