ruptured a disc in my back so bad my legs gave out and i couldn’t walk properly. When i made it into an ER a day later they gave me pain meds (which i didn’t want or ask for i wanted diagnostics) and then turned me away and wouldn’t help me.
I went to the urgent care clinic next door but when they found out i was on state healthcare they said they couldn’t treat me even if i paid.
I bought a bunch of beer to numb the pain and spent the next few months in bed until i could walk again.
every time the subject of back pain came up they got incredibly stupid and just wouldn’t even look. i did get an xray that didn’t show much so they all assumed i was lying.
Is been 5 years and i still can’t ride a bicycle for more than 5 minutes or lift very much or i’m in bed the next day. can’t sit without lumbar support for more than 30 minutes.
I can walk though so i’m grateful i have mobility! I am going to physical therapy finally in a couple weeks but still haven’t gotten an mri.
