Anybody else CTB due to back pain?

[Cryptonite]

Hi everybody,

I've already made a thread on this topic some time ago, but I'm making a new one again to see if there are any newcomers to this forum.

As some of you guys know, spinal diseases need to be caught early to get cured but doctors couldn't care less. I'm a sufferer of a misdiagnosis too. It's been a devastating journey, but in the end, I feel like it's getting easier to let go of what happened, let go of the life experiences I'm going to miss out on, and feel a beacon of hope in CTB.

Is there somebody who finds themselves in a similar boat?

Yes! I was in a car accident a few years ago and have had chronic back pain ever since. I'm only early 20s, but docs just won't do anything! I had a fall yesterday and ended up in a wheelchair the rest of the day, and I can barely walk today. Even on the daily, there's just so much I can't do and will end up missing out on as a result. It's so demoralising

Doctors know nothing. Often times you need to diagnose yourself on the Internet. It is a devastating state of affairs.

similar, i have fibromyalgia and a type of scoliosis that shifts the tilt of my spine. part of my body is pushed forward more than the other. i have constant migraines that require an ice pack at all time. i've been in constant terrible pain for about five months straight. i know there's something more to this, but no one in my area can find out why and i can't travel.

i'm sorry you're suffering. i took a hiatus but you're actually one of the people i looked up to see if you were still here.
