Too young for diagnostics or treatment
25F
Anybody else in here with almost a decade of “you’re too young for-“ on their belt? I had no MRI, just a simple ultrasound by a freaked out tech. Only 7 appointments of physical therapy before they said I should be able to deal with it on my own- after 6 years untreated by 25+ medical pro’s and I was unable to walk sporadically for 3 of those years. Almost year 8 now of widespread chronic pain from untreated spinal pain. Never seen pain management, I’ve never been to more than a very angry neuro who didn’t want me there. “Everyone has DDD!” Is the only thing near a diagnosis I have, except for a cute diagnosis of “back pain” that doesn’t mean nor do anything. Would love to see if anyone else if just constantly being hit by walls no matter what, no treatment, no answers, no anything.
Can’t sleep for more than 5 hours max so that’s why I’m here, I’m sure many of you will understand that!
Psa while I’m here; if any of your kids are in HS sports and get an injury, go advocate for them. If you don’t, this can happen. Injury from 18 in sports that will last until I someday pass away.
