i think there's another disc going bad in my back. fucking magnificent timing. it's between my shoulder blades this time, and it stings to even breath. i keep getting dizzy because i can't take a deep enough breath. i can barely turn my head to the right (which is awesome because i can barely turn my head to the left because of the fusion) and my ears keep ringing. i'm so fucking tired of medical shit. i'm buried in medical debt to the point that i've actually considered just going bankrupt again when my last one clears (which used to be 7 years, but apparently it's now 10. that was a fun shock on my credit report!). i need to just move to a country where people go bankrupt for poor decisions, not poor health.

although it takes longer to clear I think you still file after 6 years. :/

I'm sorry to hear about the disc, this is awful. I'm guessing it would likely involve another fusion?

well i claimed in '04 and was kinda looking forward to my score going up, but then 948395876743 medical collections popped up that i'd never even gotten a bill for. my credit score dropped 110 points at the minimum per credit reporting agency in one month, so i went from having pretty decent credit to laughable just when we were looking to buy a house >:(


god i hope not. 3 fusions before i'm 30 would suck. i'm pretty sure it's herniated though, the area is sticking up like the one in my neck did when it squished my spinal cord. the inflammation alone was making it stick up, so i can only imagine what this looks like. i have a maintenance appointment with my pain management place next week. if it's not better by then imma bring it up and wait for the bad news :P
