Im going in for emergency surgery tomorrow! sheeeeeyt!
Ive been suffering with back pains for many yrs and have up until recently just fobbed it off as the normal everyday back pain that all of us usually go through.
but recently something just didnt feel right ...... when i say "didnt feel right" i mean i cant feel my legs! im starting to lose feeling below my waist!
after an emergency mri scan it has revealed that this back pain i have been fobbing off for many years has turned out to be 3 knackered discs with the middle of the 3 discs totally ruptured (exploded). this ruptured disc has come out soo far that it is now compressing against my spinal column/canal and crushing the nerves that control everything from my waist down.
ive been wondering why pain killer have had no effect on me for the past years.
the spinal surgeon says if i dont have the surgery it will paralyse me 100% from the waist down, and even if i do have the surgery it could still go this way if the surgery doesn't turn out as planned! but hey thats the risk of surgery!
docs say i must literally have nerves of steel to have gone this long with a ruptured disc lol. i am zee termainator yaa
wish me luck
