I was involved in a rear end hit and run collision back in September. I went to the ER and they told me I didnt need emergency surgery. my PCP said that he would recommend a neurosurgeon if I felt i needed one. Come to find out I had been living with a chronic wedge fracture for years... which explains why I was always at a 7 in pain. I was living with chronic pain, chronic fracture, working 50+ hours a week, working out for 10+ a week... I looked hot. But my accident made things a worse than before. Now j cant lift something without hearing my muscles stretch. Ive been on a 20lb weight restriction for months...
My family suggested just not getting surgery. For them its a comparison fuel.. but and im going to tread carefully with my words... my physique and work ethic are in spite of my pain. I took pride in fighting through grit. But im a cripple right now and until im at peak health and doing low weight high reps again; I feel incomplete... and the depths of my agony are such that if a psychiatric visit wouldnt ruin my living situation and ability to support myself in these trying times that I would admit myself to the psych ward... its that bad.
Any advice or well wishes is appreciated. I just want to know what my new 100% is gonna be.
