Now I have good reason to fear that. When I was in highschool I was dating this boy who lived on a farm.
"Man that sounded bad" Anyways I did not know that he had gotten scabbies which is a small mite from farm animals that burrow under your skin and lay larvee. This makes you itchy and it usually happens in the warm moist areas of the body *GRIN* YEP imagine that. To give you an idea, behind the knees, under your arms, between your thighs only to name a few. So I lived with being itchy for months not knowing why and man was I itchy I couldnt begin to describe what it was like. I thought I was going out of my mind and apparently so did the doctors. At one point they put my on prozac an antidepressant thinking thats the problem. Then they sent me to a dermatologist who didnt even look at my skin but simply said "Your to fat, your pores cant breath thats the problem" and then sent me away. Now you can see why I was nervous.
Anyways back to the whole main thought of this entry. I went and saw him and yes he was rough around the edges but was actually nice. He told me that in simple terms I twisted my back and the joint is out of the socket. There were some fancy names used but I dont remember. In essence its like having a dislocated shoulder but its your back. SO imagine the pain im in. I really dont think people understand how bad this hurts. Anyways he says he can probably fix it. I said go for it. SO he started twisted me and what not (HE IS NOT A CHIROPRACTOR). He said when it goes back into place that I should here a loud pop and a crack. So after several tries no pop and no crack. He told me to come back next week and he will try it one more time. If that doesnt work I have to go to the hospital and have injections put in my back and this is done under X-ray. Oh how fun.
Up untill now I was getting the impression that the doctors believe that I was faking it or making it worse then it really was. I really didnt get any sympathy from my personal doctor who thinks I shoud be at work but I keep telling her it hurts. She sighs and then writes me a note. She also thinks that it due to the weight. Well I agree the weight isnt helping it get better butit isnt the cause of why it is sore. There really is something wrong with me and it feels like no one is listening to it. What makes it worse is that My Xray and my MRI come back clean nothing wrong in them. WSIB (Workers Safety Insurance Board) has actually asked me if I was stressed or upset about anything thinking that it was a mental thing. Which is not the case so, I told that to the specialist, almost in tears this morning. He was upset wanted to know who made me feel like this and he said "a back injury is the worst thing because MRI's, Xray's could all come back clean. Yet there is still something wrong and it is painful and its these people who have never had a back injury, that dont understand how painful it really is.
Tomorrow is my appointment now with the physiotherapist. We will see how that goes.
