Hi...I am new and I have been looking thru everything and have some questions.

Two years ago I was shopping and had three large boxes fall on me. At the time it hurt, but I figured...thats normal. My regular doctor put me on bending, lifting, twisting restriction and weight restriction of 10 pds.
Loss of my income, hubby's job layoff thus our insurance loss stopped any PT after a month. Henow has to work two jobs.

Anyway...extremely long two year decline and frustrating story and I am certain there are many here with similar experiences. I guess I am from a "suck it up" family and STILL feel "guilty" complaining about all this pain. Couple that with a doctor (GP) who gives me the impression everytime I see her that I am "faking" this all (yeah I wanted foreclosure on our home and thrown into financial straights, deppression, constant pain, horrific migraines, clumsiness, strained family relations, etc.)

Bottom line is that now I have finally gotten in to see Chronic Pain at the University Hospitals here and have an upcoming appointment.

I do not have all the exact diagnosis in front of me-but a recap of what is happening is this:
narrowing of spinal canal cervical
defused disc bulge C 4, 5, 6
Spinal canal stenosis
posterior disc protrusion c 6-7

Those are the things my chronic pain doctor wants to deal with now.

I also have spondylosis in lumbar with bulging discs at L 5 and S 1 which they are basically ignoring and is what causes me more pain.

I was in health care all my life, so is it possible the incident caused this to come to the forefront? Well, that is neither here nor there..but I really am concerned that the Chronic pain wants to do injections in my neck.
THAT scares me...but I am completely WORN OUT from the pain and especially from the inability to function as I used to. I feel so worthless.
Resignation that this is not going away has been very hard for me to accept and I guess maybe I just needed to talk with people about this and hear your perspectives.
Sorry this rambles. I am just very confused and very much at a loss of what to do.

Thank you for listening.
