It's still a sleep, going on like 11 days now. I don't really like this. I don't think they found the real cause either. Back injuries are nasty things, and strange things come out of a back injury....
I injured myself, I'm off of work. But, they haven't really found what's wrong with me yet and that bothers me. I don't think they will and my boss won't let me change positions at work and I'll probably hurt myself again. I'm 23 years old and give it, gave it, 110 percent, and now I'm injured and it isn't getting better and if the doctor's can't find what's wrong , I could have permanent damage. I've went above and beyond my duties for a job like that. I might quit, and it would be one of the few times in my life where I could quit with pride. They don't want me to change positions because I'm the best at what I do and now I have a complex about it, but it's not worth it, I'm beginning to think, that I'm going to throw in the towel and let some one else try to do the job. Currently, no one does it as well as I do and so it went to their heads that it was all I ever was going to do there. I don't think I can do it anymore.
Ok, so I throw my back out at work. No one in my family takes it SERIOUSLY (gonna yell a few times here). I mope around for a few days unable to MOVE!!! And they tell me when I'm sort of better to go back to work, that they know how to handle this. That I have to work through it....
AND my step father with this brilliant advice has a CHRONIC BACK INJURY!!!!!!!! And I throw my back out AGAIN within just a few days if not the same DAY I GO BACK!
Guess, what the expert advice continues from the CHRONIC BACK INJURY guy who SCREWED up his back from not PROPERLY treating himself!
This was like months ago, now the pain goes to my leg for several several weeks, the expert advice continues, now the pain is in my foot and it's been falling asleep, fuzzy for about !6 DAYS!!!!!
I went to the doctor, took some pills, they didn't even give me enough pills to last me the free trail, said they'd have more, I called them AND THEY NEVER CALLED BACK. They said they would!
So, I don't even have enough medicine to try their wild goose chasing theories because they told me they don't really know what's wrong!
So now, I'm off work with a mysterious injury and guess what I'm stuck at home being told to cut the grass, lift **** and do some choirs here and there! When it's their damn fault and advice that got me here to begin with!
How can I not be mad? I don't care if all emotions are the same and if he gave me advice because he feared I don't love him, and because he was mad that he felt neglected and that he felt good giving me advice, and he had sorrow from feeling neglected. I don't care! I am pissed off and I don't feel like reading into it because I have a mysterious back injury that no one takes seriously and I'm stuck off work and people keep MESSSING WITH MYYYYYYYYYY LIFE!
First of all, your family are idiots. If something's wrong with you, big or small, they should be concerned about you, not condescending (Ooo, big word. I don't get to use those very often ). Even if it turns out not to be that seriously, they should at least care.
Second, your family are idiots. You don't 'work through' a back injury, you go to the hospital and get it checked out, then take things from there. And if that doesn't work, move on to my third point.
Third, your Doctor's an idiot. If you can, try finding a different one and explaining the situation. If not, tell your current Doctor that you're unhappy with the way your case is being handled and you'd like to know your options. If they really told you they don't know what's wrong with you, that's not exactly a vote of confidence!
Fourth, your family's an idiot. If you're injured, why would they expect you to do chores (as opposed to choirs, which I'm sure you'd be absolutely fine with, angelic voice that you probably have)? YOU'RE INJURED. Tell 'em to lay off.
Finally, you're an idiot. How the hell am I supposed to read your entire post in a Christopher Walken voice? He'd never say anything like...
oh, wait. Never mind. I'm an idiot.
(As opposed to you, who's just angry and needs to vent. In a Christopher Walken voice. How do I end up in situations like this?)
LOL, sorry I wasn't think about Walken during the time. LOL, it's even worse now the voice.
I flipped out on me mom today, I said it's a me a sleepy footsy and the doctors don't a know what's a wrong with me! And I'mma piss offed and cannot keep a calling off work....pizza...
If I'm perfectly honest, the Walken stuff was to try and get you to smile. I guess it worked? I think that's what LOL means. 1t'5 b33n 4 whil3 5inc3 1 tr13d 133t-sp34k.
Sometimes it helps to have a good laugh now and again. I don't imagine I know just what you're going through, but if something makes you smile once in a while, it can do you the world of good. Personally, if you need a laugh, I find Walken normally does the trick, or failing that, the wise and wonderful wisdom of J Jonah Jameson. If you need something awesome to get you pumped up, this hedgehog is awesome. And if you just need something to make you feel all warm and fuzzy, then try some Sugar.
And talking like Mario is really weird. Not as weird as Walken, but still...
EDIT: Ah man, Adam West is almost as bad as Walken! Next you'll be bringing up William Shatner...
I love the Shatner! but, I'm watching The Game. It's a great movie! Seen it before, though.
Walken is brilliant, he covers emotion beautifully. He's very emotionally intelligent and wise and he radiates of that. Brilliant actor, performer. Thanks for sharing your videos , I enjoyed them.
Not sure how the medical system works over there, but surely if the doctor says don't work, then work can't get upset that you're calling in sick? Especially if it turns out that it was caused by a work injury? And if you've got doctors orders, then your family should lay off. I went through some of the same stuff, and trying to explain why you can't do something (this is when I went back to work with limited duties) to someone who doesn't get it is mind numbing. But in the end you gotta take care of you first. Once your back (or other parts) is screwed, it's really screwed. Just know people here are thinking of you and hoping that everything works out for you.
Thank you skeeter, you are nice. Which is sort of un common. It's nice to hear from you, as I think you understand. My boss won't let me change positions, it is mind numbing, if I ever go back to work, and he won't let me mix it up a little I may have to quit , I can't do that kind of work anymore. No one used to do that sort of work on shopping carts, LOL...no one should.
Our store line is making a new image for itself and is more busy than ever, we used to have 2-3 guys on carts at once, some days we still do, but never when I work, I take on the entire store by myself. They won't let me change positions because I have a complex and I'm the best at it. I can't do it any more though.
I definately understand, I've injured my back 3 times at work over the years. And unfortunately it's likely I will reinjure it as I have a permanent condition. As for my leg, I've learnt to live with it because my symptoms are on and off. I hope the doctors pinpoint exactly what is wrong for you, and then will be able to fix it. I was able to return to work for full duties and I still do the same job. Once they worked out exactly what the problem was, it could be worked out. For me there was not so much medication - painkillers at the beginning, and the option of cortisone injections for the inflammation, but mostly physio which strengthened my abdominal muscles to hold my spine strongly. So long story short - although it seems hopeless and depressing, it is possible to move on and continue as usual. But I would get the doctor to specify what you can and can't do, and if anyone tries to tell you otherwise, wave the doctors instructions at them!
Sorry, wasn't trying to hide it or anything. I never really thought that people might think I was a guy...
I used to think the same thing. Since then I have no less than three different hints in every single post in the form of my signature and user title. Works wonders!
Doctors are useless, now the sleeping , fuzzy feeling appears to be in my upper body. This could get serious, and it's NOT getting better or being taken seriosuly, the feeling has moved to other parts of my body as I tye this I feel myself falling a sleep randomly in different parts of my body and its spreading...
If I die or go brain dead all I ask is that if some one wants to take up where I left off with my philosophies that you just remember me as some one who started in that direction. I don't want fame, I credit every one who helped me in my life, helped me form my beliefs. I don't want fame, I don't want money. Everything we've ever accomplished has been through the efforts of humanity and all of us deserve some credit. All I ask is that I am remebered, and respected, that's all I care about. I don't want all the credit, all I want is a nod.
This feeling is spreading like crazy now throughout my entire body. I don't know what it is but it's not natrual, If I die or go brain dead all that I ask is that I'm remembered.
I don't care about fame, being famous , I don't care about rights who knows what, everything we've ever accomplished as a race is a stepping stone for progress.
Contuning on I feel an ernomous pressure build up in my head, brain and I'm not liekyl going to go to a doctor. It's not natural, could be a sign of something serious. I can't go get the help I need.
Hopefully I'll be fine, but if I don't turn out ok, I just want you all to know that I cared .
Doodo, if it's as bad as you say, then it's time to call for an ambulance. Seriously, just do it, go to the hospital and get proper help. And your parents are idiots if they're really as negligent as what you've described in this thread.
Don't care what anyone says, nothing is more important than your health.
If you can't afford to pay medical bills, sometimes the hospital will write it off as a charitable treatment (or something like that). I had a $2000 medical bill once that I couldn't afford to pay and they wrote it off.

I hope you did this. Let us know if you're still in one piece.
"They didn't see anything ,it must not be that serious."
It's spread to my upper body and they don't give a shit.
"Tell them about it" I can't call them, they don't care what I say, they just say schedule a appointment and the earliest I can get is the 7th.
Turning my neck I feel pain, and things are falling a sleep and this is what I have to work with...
"take your medicines" I've been taking them, now that they actually gave me enough to take them. No effect...what so ever...I've gotten worse.
"They just know that what you're experiencing is normal for inflamation of the spine"
They weren't even sure if that is what the problem was... Now that my chest is a sleep my arm and shoulder and neck and foot, I'm sort of worried, and occasionally my face.
OH...
"Are you going to the movie tonight? I'm resting so that I can go to it later..."
That's what they've had to say about it. I wish my grandfather was here or my biological father...not to be rude to any one else.
I hope you got to a doctor or the hospital... Is there a health line you could call and speak to a nurse or doctor? They could advise you - maybe the medication is making it worse? I don't know what else to say, I'm thinking of you and hoping like crazy you feel better soon.
I have a injury, but I don't think it's life threatening. It might be permanent . I sit here all day on medical leave, and no one takes my illness seriously so my mind wanders around . I think I'll be alright. I have you guys to talk to, you listen.
I think I will. I live in a family that's a bunch of you're not sick until your puking, bleeding or dying. So, I don't know...
I've seen horrible things happen to people, medically speaking, so I'm a little paranoid. I hope I'm fine, I'm just going to take it easy. It's frustrating having a injury and no one seems to know what's wrong, but I don't think this is life threatening.
It's me doodo, I'm at least part crazy.
It's very strange, my chest is sleepy now. I don't know what to make of it as my chest is a sleep...but I think I'll be alright.
It's good to know that, despite whatever's wrong with you, you seem to have (relatively) high spirits and a somewhat positive attitude. I'd be really worried if you didn't. And if you're worried about venting your anger, don't be. We're hear to listen and help as best we can. Despite what Yoda says, anger's a good thing. Just don't let it lead to hate, because, y'know, hate leads to suffering, and you've had enough of that already!
I know you said you would, but do try taking things easy. It could be that your body needs some R&R before it wakes up properly. Hopefully that's all that you need.
... Despite what Yoda says, anger's a good thing. Just don't let it lead to hate, because, y'know, hate leads to suffering, and you've had enough of that already!
I know how you feel about people not paying attention unless there is physical proof (bleeding, vomiting etc). First time I hurt my back they didn't take x rays, just determined it was soft muscle. After a few weeks I was supposed to be better, and I felt that people thought I was faking. The second time I was so glad to have X rays, showing my funky back in all it's screwy glory... Doodo, you know how your body should feel and when something is wrong. Just trust yourself and you should be okay. Also, I think Davies needs a prize for that last post

Yes, and no , they are not helping at the moment. But, I've only taken then for 1 of 2 days.
I gave 110 percent.

Because :
A:They did a exray and said my back looked fine, and that they didn't really see anything, gave me something to try and it's had no result.
B. Because my local doctor office won't return my calls and can only make appointments as early as the 7th...
