If I were to list all the medical problems I've had throughout my life, we'd be here for weeks.
I'll just share my worst injury and illness xP
Worst injury, hurting my back at work.
This is a complete mess. I hurt my back pulling and pushing stacked totes weighing about 70lbs while crouched down.
Normally, a strain wouldn't be so bad. However, this happened in July, and I'm still off work, in pain, and not getting any kind of pay.
The injury to my back caused my muscles to tighten, rotating my hip and sacrum. I can't stand or walk for more than about 10 minutes without having to sit down and take a break(I hate malls). I couldn't start physical therapy until my claim was accepted, which didn't happen until October, so between July and October, everything worsened. I had 12 sessions of land therapy, and was still in pain. So my doctor suggested Aqua therapy. He put off giving me a referral until the end of November. I was able to go to one land, and one aqua therapy, then we got snowed in. Now I have to wait until Friday to be seen again. We were snowed in for three weeks, so in that time, I haven't been able to get what I need.
Definitely worse injury, and I've had quite a lot of them, lol.
Worst illness was the kidney stone I had when I was 16. That was one of the worst pains I've ever gone through over something internal. That was also a bit of a mess. I went to the ER for abdominal pain. We waited about 2 hours in the waiting room, and then they gave me drugs. I got a ct scan, and then waited another 6 hours for the results >.<
So. We found out I had a kidney stone. I had two options. Either let it pass(ow), or get a lithotripsy to break it up. I chose the latter. Now the problem begins. We found out mid March '06. We were leaving in a week to go to Hawaii. When you get a lithotripsy, you have to stay in the area in case of complications for two weeks.
I had to keep my stone while I went to Hawaii. It wasn't too horrible, considering I got to take quite a bit of vicodin with me xP I nearly ended up going to the Honolulu ER though, not fun.
About a week after we got back, I had my lithotripsy, and everything was fine until about 30 minutes after getting home. Back to the ER I go. My kidney was inflamed from the surgery. This was determined after administration of morphine, anti-nausea and an anti-inflammatory, plus another ct scan.
When it rains, it pours, lol.
