IRL update regarding my old injury. I know many are wondering why I never recovered and after my back injury and today I at least have a surgeon who dared to pinpoint the problem for the first time in 3 years. The doctors considered my back healed. It's not. And because of the long recovery The rest of my back is getting worse slowly but surely. Two vertebraes got squeezed together. (see pic 1) that means there's permanently 1 less functional vertebrae in my back. And as they described it that my body is naturally on its own attempting to stabilize itself by growing bone around 2 vertebraes locking them together. (limiting movement and flexibility) But it's already been 4 years. So who knows how long it'll take? So the only surgery I can get if I get one is called a spine fusion.(pic 2) Where they screw together the vertebraes. (something my body is already doing by itself) It's a big surgery with long recovery. Alternatively I do FUCK ALL and wait for body to do it by itself (hopefully) And have pain for another couple years. So yeah another new xray ordered to confirm if a surgery would be a good option. I just felt like I just had to share all info i got because the past 3 years I've gotten no help. I've been in chronic pain suffering. Unable to lay down or sit. So I've not had proper sleep since the injury and I lost two well paying flexible jobs. I'm not even prescribed anything for the pain. So you can imagine my mental state.
