Health Problems anyone? - Page 2

I had to start a thread on this for my personal complaining, and out of curiosity to see who also has bad luck. Well I am only 19 and I have always played sports, I was All-State in basketball and started in football as a sophmore. I have broken my left ankle twice, and broke and dislocated my right ankle I had to get a plate and 8 screws in that rascal. I have had hip pointers, broken fingers, stitches (from an elbow during AAU under my eye 8 stitches and a trip to the ER on my birthday lol), fractured foot, etc. My recent injuries are so hard to cope with especially in a physically demanding job.

Last year I had a few scholarships to play ball and I was playing hoops a lot, and I ended up tearing my lateral meniscius. So due to insurance issues we had to wait for me to get pre-approved for the surgery and it took 4 months. Then I got the surgery to fix my knee well all went well, except all wasnt well with my knee, its still messed up. I lost my scholarships and I couldnt go to school and I am gonna have to get another surgery on my knee here in the next 3-4 months probably.

Then my back has been messed up for 2 years, they said I herniated two of my discs, and its hereditary believe it or not. So I had 3 epideral shots into my back all at different times and it didnt help. I had to do 3 months PT to get it back to normal. It came back about a month ago and it has been the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life (remeber I broke and dislocated my ankle and that isnt fun). See these discs affect my psiatic (dont know about the spelling) nerve and it shoots currents down my entire right side and its pure hell. I cant sleep at night cause its always throbbing. It was so bad last night I almost went to the ER, man I wouldnt wish it on anyone. But the Doc gave me some perscriptions and said if it doesnt fix it I will have to get back surgery eventually. I am only 19 and thats not something you want to hear is back surgery. I was just curious if anyone has had this similar problem, Or what you want to whine about.
