Soaking should help and laying down. Hope you feel better (and hope your friend had a good result from her doctor).

If you're going to soak in a hot tub, use epsom salts. They add magnesium to your bones and ease your sore muscles. 

Kudos to you for going along with your friend while she did some tests. Perhaps she'll pay you back the favor someday.

That sounds reasonable and funny too!

That was not because of time taken to do tests.  That was because the guy didn't get it til a couple of hours past his appointment.  I doubt you would get any money from them.  I don't recall if he did.  I think he was just trying to make a point.  I do agree it's ridiculous at how long you have to sit there.  If you have an appointment then you need to get in with in 15 minutes of that time frame.  It's crazy for them to be running 2 hours behind.  And most times that is because they take walk ins.  At my local family practice center the way it tends to work...Say I have an appointment at 1:00.  Three people walk in the door in front of me and they want to see the same doctor and are walk ins...they get in line in front of me.  So I am now number 4 on the list.  That is not right.  I should go in first since I had an appointment.  And the ones too lazy to make an appointment need to sit there all day and wait to be "worked in".
