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....

They didn't recommend any antiinflammatories for the nerve inflammation?

No, I think they did, but how typical is it that they didn't give me enough, promised me refills and I have not yet gotten any.

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.
I gave 110 percent. |

Pms pms pms!!!!!!!
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! |

Ok. Deep breath, we'll get through this.
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?)

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... ...don't even think about it.

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. Thank you. |

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!
