Multi-level disc injury - frustrated rant

[redrhodie]

(((Oakleaf))). This sounds awful. I hope you find someone to help, and can get there in one piece. I hope you get your life back soon.

Oh, Oak, I'm so sorry to read about your troubles! My husband had 2 herniated discs a few months back, and for days he was flat on his back. He had jumped down from the rig and that was it-he was in so much pain he had to leave work. (That NEVER happens!) after spending 3 days completely on his back, he was able to move around a little but he couldn't drive, so he had to be driven into the city to see the doctor. Finally they prescribed PT and we have one around the block-she's fabulous. All the electrical stimulation, manual stuff,it did take some times but now he's back to work and doing well.

I hope your recovery comes soon for you. I'm glad you changed things up when it wasn't working. It's all about what's right for you and facilitates healing.

Oak, sorry its been so rough for you. I know how you feel about not being able to do stuff and then isolation on top of that. I understand what you mean about others having it worse, but still, it hurts.

I hope the new PT works for you and the osteopath can bring more relief to you.

Oak, I am sorry that this is dragging on so long for you and that you are still in pain, and the isolation certainly doesn't help. I really hope the new osteopath can help you in short order!

I'm so sorry. It's so not fun to be stuck home. Any chance any of your cycling friends would humor you with an evening of cards or board games or something at your place? I'd come keep you company if I was there!
