My friends, you all reflect such beautiful things about yourselves and this species. You're all sincere, caring, as I mentioned in a PM to one of my friends.
Right now, I have to go to yet another specialist, this guy is a specialist of specialists with backs...XD, yep...
Sorry for being so self centered and selfish, I really like how this thread compliments so many of you. You're all so kind. Today, I see another specialist.
But yeah, I don't envy you. Back injuries are something I fear almost as much as drowning (drowning being the one kind of death that I am scared (to death ) of). I know quite a few people with back injuries (like my own mother, for instance) and they all say they never quite go away. It's like cancer in that respect: You always live in fear of it coming back.
I'm sounding far too pessimistic, but I'm sure if you keep up what they tell you to do (no matter how daft and inconvenient it is), things will work out a lot better for you. Hope this cheers you up a tad.
Turns out I can't even go on vacation, can't drive on my own. The disc is large enough, they want to do injections into myself to try to help heal me, nothing is working, they want me to do more therapy. My whole summer is compromised. They want me to stick to therapy and new, other methods, methods with a small chance of being paralyzed. Paralyzed...

Maybe your exploding car was trying to tell you something.
What are these "new, other methods"?
At any rate, don't fret about missing vacation. Better to take it easy and do the therapy rather than push yourself and run the risk of things getting worse. There will be other summers!

Paralyzed...
At least they said a small chance, right? I know that's probably small comfort at this stage but I honestly don't think it's a good idea to worry about something that may not come to pass. Just try to take each day as it comes, you wonderful, wonderful bastard you. *sniff*
EDIT: I hope that the above doesn't come across as insincere because nothing could be further from the truth. I'm worried about you Doodo.
It's a hip/lumbar spine injection. Most often they are safe, with the possibility of not being.
I can also get a infection or bleed out my body...meh.
I don't want to worry, you're right. It's not THAT bad. Thank you all for being so brilliant, so caring, gentile, thank you all. You have no idea what that does for humanity, and never before have I've seen it in such a beautiful light.
My family STILL, except for my sister, wants me to go on vacation, My mother doesn't understand, I coul dend up paralyzed. I am forced to get a doctors excuse off of vacation. I will be doing it tommorow. It's the only way to get them to listen to me.
I do not want to end up in a wheel chair. My anger is mounting high, I'm trying to control it, I'm just scared. I don't have time to deal with crap like this.

So, we research it and my mother is loosing sleep, crying, my step father is emotional. They say that their are risks I could end up paralyzed, and every one starts to take it seriously NOW. NOW, that I'm screwed and at the hands of fate to these doctors and their guesses. LOL , brilliant!
But, I'll be ok, I'm going to get back into therapy. I'll keep you all posted. My family will be going on vacation while I stay home alone to go into therapy and treatments.
I am sorry you have to miss your vacation and have injections. But I am glad that the doctors are doing something and that your family is listening to you! Get plenty of rest and you'll be up and at 'em soon!
Got a new problem, now my eye socket is swallen and I can barely move my eye, look around a room...
Don't know if pictures do it justice , but it's very irritated and swallen, we're waiting for the doctor tomorrow , or the next day, again...See how I'm raising my eyebrow, I'm not raising my eyebrow...
I can't do this, I cant' do school. I'm pain, just from school. Carrying books. I can't do this, it was SOOOOO stupid to go back. I'm about to blow my disc back out. I'm getting fat, everyone says I've lost all my muscle and have gotten fat. I can't carry my books, I walk with a limp. I'm not ready for this, I'm going to screw myself up again, loyally. I can't do this. This is stupid! I'm pissed off, upset and angry. There is no way I can get through this semester, and we still haven't payed the damn therapist worked out money issues so I can't see her again!
This is BS! I can't do this. I feel like I'm about to blow out my DISC! I'm so pissed. She says if I do it again, from the pressure it's going to explode!
I was starting to get math, it was sinking in, and BAM, my back gets screwy again.
I can't even walk straight.
WAAAAA WAAAA WA!!!!! SISSY FIT!!! SISSY FIT!
I'm upset. I'm trying to balance myself but I physically can't do this!!!
The radio ologist called today and all I got was a urgent important message. I have no idea what they found , of if they just want some money.
See if the doctor will give you a handicap permit (or permission to get one). Schools tend to adopt accessibility options quickly, so there may be something you can do so you won't kill yourself getting between classes. Maybe get one of those rolling satchels like frequent airport visitors have.
I'm weak, can't even throw a shooting disc. Can't lift 15 pounds anymore without feeling weak. My huge biceps are gone. But I guess I'm ok. How are you?
That's not so good. I hope the soreness eases up for you. Well, I did a clever thing (not) and fell out of a shower/bath tub while I was on holiday and landed on my back. I was really worried I'd hurt it as I fell right out of it and was full length on the floor. But luckily I was just sore for a few days. Travelling in the plane didn't help much though, but I am slowly getting the kinks out.
