I’m worried that I will be permanently disabled. I don’t want to be permanently disabled at 32. I want to be able to walk and play with my son. I’m hoping and praying that surgery will help. I am nervous about seeing my dr on Monday. I’m afraid he won’t refer me to surgery yet again even though I don’t think any injections are going to help with the numbness and tingling. That alongside the pain is what makes it so difficult to get around.
It’s a gorgeous day outside and I wish I could go out and enjoy it but I can’t. I might go out and sit in the driveway at least.
I am just scared. I’m terrified of surgery but I have no choice, I’m more terrified of being disabled for the rest of my life.
I just want answers. At least the spasms have stopped.

Be really proactive in stating to your GP that you need more help than what has been offered and now how bad things are.
I hope you get relief soon ! Please take special care of yourself.
