This is the 1st time I've dared to join a forum. But I can't deal with this anymore by myself. I need help. Just someone to listen or talk too. Just someone to tell me it'll be ok or to quit griping & deal with it! Lol. My brain fog is bad today so I'll try & make as much sense as possible! Lol!
I got run over by a car in 1997. Total accident. Ran over both legs & I was very lucky. But I'd had pain issues before that incident. I'm a professional dancer & had back knee & ankle pain since I was a child. Long story short after I got run over I had a ruptured disc in my neck. My dr convinced me I'd be back to dancing in no time. I shouldn't have listened. I've had nothing but severe pain since the surgery. Years of pills, injections, different kinds of therapies. You name it I've tried it. It never got better. Being stubborn & co-owning a small dance studio with my mom I continued to dance. Not like before I got run over but enough to keep the studio doors open. That just ended up making things worse. Ended up with fibromyalgia & in November 2012 I was walking my dog & tripped & broke my arm. The surgeon discovered my arthritis & was eventually diagnosed with RA. SO MUCH MADE SENSE! I don't have the best insurance & haven't started any treatment for the RA. I'm actually scared too. Anyway I'm new here & hope to make some friends who are dealing with this too. Hope this is ok & makes sense. Brain fog sucks!
