back issues

[Guest guest]

hi everyone, I work at Disneyland and I got hurt while on the job in

November of last year. They put me into physical therapy for a

massive lumbar strain, only to have the therapy make my condition

worse. I was diagnosed with Siatica in February and was put through 3

painful lumbar cortisone epidurals and to have none of them work. My

condition only got worse from the on. I've been off of work since

February and nothing is helping my pain and now my doctors are telling

me that I might have to get a discography done, among getting tested

for rhumatoid arthritis. I need someone to talk to, my doctors can't

seem to find hat is wrong with me and I'm getting so tired of

fighting. I'm only 19 years old and I'm taking pain meds like I'm

60. I'm afraid to take my pain meds because I'm afraid that I'm going

to get dependant on them. So I'm suffering through all of the pain

without pain meds. Please, I'm looking for someone to talk to and who

can reassure me that I'm not alone.
