Behind the Inhaler Pt. 7

What a miserable week! I think I've spent more time in the doctors office than my own room. Last Thursday not only did I pass my drivers test (didn't miss a single point) but I had another spine checkup at the hospital. The first day of summer was my first doctors appointment for my spine. I was told that I had jeopardized my mobilization by not stopping at the first sign of pain. How was I supposed to know my spine was fractured? Yes it hurt like mad, but again I have a high pain tolerance. Since then I've been through nine weeks of physical therapy (two sessions a week), nine sessions of functional rehab, and a strict non-athletic schedule. Most of my sharp pain has subsided however I still have this constant nagging pressure. Concerned my doctor set up an emergency MRI for Monday (I received a radiation dye test back in June which was the craziest most insane medical experience of my life)   which was incredibly obnoxious, loud, and uncomfortable. Not to mention I'm incredibly claustrophobic and have anxiety issues. Tuesday I received my weekly immunutherapy injections. Wednesday I had my last session of functional rehab (I nearly cried tears of joy) and today (Thursday) I had my final appointment with this doctor and my MRI reading.

They found nothing. You'd think that would be a good thing. But in my case it's not. I first started feeling pain in January (which means I went through an entire season of Varsity track with a spinal fracture and that we're closing in on a year) and we still haven't been able to correct everything. The fracture itself healed (incorrectly but it tried...ha). The muscles are an entirely different story. I wanted them to find something. Clear as day, that's the problem let's fix it. But no, my track record for being a medical mystery continues and I'm being sent to a specialist.

This injury has been so frustrating that I'm getting increasingly more bitter about it. I can hardly ride, and by the end of the day it feels like someone is clawing into my spine.

I am currently procrastinating on my outline with my blog...in a way it's a win-win. I'm procrastinating English homework...with other English homework. I think I'm making improvements.

Have a fun weekend everyone!
