Ruptured Disk? Posted: 11-03-04 12:10pm
Does anyone know about these? K this is
gonna sound funny lol but its weird and
true! Ok about 2 weeks ago I was on my
way to work and I stopped to get those
pics of dom u all have seen at walmart and
as I was "walking" through the parking lot
to get to my car I was still looking at
the pics and some lady pulling out of her
parking spot hit my in my lower back!!!!
My back arched in and it was really windy
and since it didnt hurt I didnt think it
was a car I thought it was a cart lol so I
turn around and she is looking everywhere
goin did I hit something? And im flippin
our sayin u hit me lady! So I let it be
and like a fool didnt get any of her info
since I wasnt hurt or anything. And then
like a week after I am gettin these
terrible back pains and im thinkin it
could have been from my epidural from back
in august and after an mri come to find
out I have a ruptured disk!!! what? That
is a serious prob. Im only 20 and I have
to look forward to my back goin out when I
lift somethin heavy. And to topp it
off.... I never got the lady's info and
im not sue happy like alot of peeps are
but I know I could have gotten somethin
from this cuz u dont get a ruptured disk
naturally and I just know it was from her
flippin car. I am so pi$$ed, I havent
talked with the doc about my situation I
go in sometime next week to discuss things
about my back ect ect. ~ erica.

Awl.. I'm sorry. Damn that really
sucks. Did he prescribe anything?
Sometimes they'll give you stuff like
darvocet or percocet for back probs and
such. Those work pretty well depending
on your body weight and tolerance to meds
of course. Ask him for something like
that. I am not sure if you would win
the lawsuit because if something like that
happens and you don't do something right
away like get a police report.. The
judges think you are just short on money
and you are just thinking of whatever you
can to get some money and if you didn't
report it right away.. They assume you
didn't care.. But you said you didn't
want to sue so that doesnt' really matter
but just to let you know.

Erica, I have I think the same thing. I
was in a car accident last december. A
few days before christmas. It wasn't my
fault at all. So I am sueing the caca out
of the guy that ran right over my car with
his truck. I have not one not two, but
three bulging discs in my back. Its
almost been a year since the accident, I
am only 17 and I will only have one
back...So I am not going to settle for a
long time, but what my doctor wants to do
is give me epidural shots in my back..Full
of steraroids to make it better. Thats
what he is doing, also I have meds..Such
as ibprofin that I have to take every
morning and every night, the 2nd medicine
I have are muscle relaxers. I had a mri
to see what was wrong with my back, and it
has to be the most uncomfortable pain in
my life...It goes down all the way into my
hip sometimes, so I can't get comfy. You
should get into a really good orthapedic
place.

Try a chiropracter sometimes when it acts
up. That may ease some of the pain for a
little bit. Not sure what they do
there... I just know it is kind of an
advanced massage specificially for those
with back problems and such.

Thx for the replies. I know how the pain
is it goes all the way down my thigh to my
toes and yeah I know since I didnt go to
the emergency room asap it wont matter.
My doc told me that after any type of
injury u usually really wont feel it until
1-2 weeks after the incident. Its awful I
was helping a customer at work and we were
talking and as I was talkin my back just
started to get this terrible pain and I
jerked and couldnt get my words out of my
mouth she goes r u okay I said yeah excuse
me my back hurts I was so embarrased. ~

I went to the chiropractor for almost a
year...And it gave me some temporary
relief, but they wanted to stop seeing me
because they cant help me fully. Its
horrible...That is horrible that you dont
have any information from the girl that
hit you...You are only going to have one
back..And that is a lot of pain to be
in..Sometimes you will never ever heal. I
would have sued her ass...And normally I
ain't like that.
