Stephy In Pain

The past 2 days have been a nightmare for me. On Tuesday morning, I checked my uni stuff and thought that I had block lecture that day, so I took a shower and was getting ready to go to uni. I was bending down to open up my laptop and it hit me.

A severe pain shot into my lower back that I had to sit on the floor. I thought it was just a stiff back so I decided to change into a loose pair of jeans instead of wearing skinnies. I got up to the room and the pain came again, a second time. I couldn't bend down to take off my jeans and I had to scream for KC to come help me. I lied down for awhile thinking I was better and made my way down to the kitchen.

Little did I know that the worse was yet to come. The third time the pain killed me and send me crumbling to the ground with tears and screams. I just laid there and couldn't move. I tried to get a doctor to come see me but nobody will come. I called my chiropractor and asked what I should do. So I followed his instructions and put ice pack on my back. After awhile I showly moved to the couch where i laid there the rest of the day, not able to move.

I was told if I couldn't get up to go to the toilet I needed to be sent to the hospital. So I struggled to the toilet hanging onto KC like a dead corpse, Peeing was never this painful as I couldn't put my weight on myself.

I needed painkillers and muscle relaxants very badly so I struggled to the clinic with the help of KC and KY. When we got there I couldn't get out of the car. It was just too painful. I couldn't move at all. The doc suggested I go to the hospital instead. After getting a referral letter from the doc we went over to the nearest hospital where they got me out of the car on a stretcher. I waited for about over an hour before she gave me some painkillers and muscle relaxants. I fell asleep while KC and the rest went to get supper and refuel the car. They actually bought dumplings for me but the nurse wouldn't allow them to feed me. We waited till the next morning to see the doctor. I was able to walk but with some help, and got discharged with prescription for painkillers. I have to lie in bed for the next 2 days. I'm typing tjis as i'm lying in bed. The pain has to be gone before I can see a physio therapist.

My back is really sore after lying for so long.
