I am a 26 year old woman however I feel like i have the bones of a 90 year old. I have been in pain like this sine I was 14 it was just slowly getting worse. I finally got to the point of going to the hopsital and they took x-rays and everything else then handed me some pain meds and shoved me out the door. They did not tell me they I had signs of degenerating discs, and I went more than 4 times. They never reffered me to a specialist even when I did have good insurance. Then when I did finally see a doctor he tried to tell me that it was just my muscles that were deterating and nothing about my bones yet again. Then I decided to go to med choice medical center and there they finally told me what my problem was. I have waited so long for someone to care enough to be honest with me about my condition. I started going to therapy there and my back felt better than I can ever remember. The problem was that I cold not afford to go any longer and there were not enough hours in the day for me. Anyways thats the reason why I am here however I have many more issues that I am trying to handle along with this. I think this is just the one that effects me the most.

My interests are mainly nature orientated. I love to go camping, horseback riding, swimming, fishing. I love children but I don't think I can have any. i love animals and everything about them. unfortunately yet another thing that is hard for me to enjoy fully. I also love to read and i try to draw and write but I am not good at either.. lol

I'm so sorry to hear you are feeling horrible. I lost both my grandparents in August, we were very close. I haven't been on DS for a long time because of that, I just can't get into the hang of things without my grandparents being near.
Take care of yourself.
Hugs,
Zoey
I know what you mean, it's nice to have someone who's the same age...everyone (just about) is our parents age, and they are WONDERFUL but having someone who's in your boat is nice, although I wouldn't wish this one anyone. It was a bag/cart boy that chased my "attacker" off. I hope that they will find something to just make us better...my surgeon doesn't want to cut because I am so young and all I can think is, but you are going to have to eventually anyway right..he's like yeah..but not yet...lol. I have to laugh, if I don't I'll just cry more. I figure I'll heal faster then when I'm older, I'm already on Morphine and percs for breakthrough pain and that will have to be upped soon since it's stopped working as well...I don't know what to do anymore..my SSI hearing is on the 6th, I just keep hoping. My car accident mediation got pushed to December..should pf been over Friday..they can't find anything against me (I was a passenger for Christ sake) and keep dragging it out hoping to find something...the opposition lawyer even asked me how often do I sell my pain pills LOL like we don't need our pills for ourselves right?! HUGS
Hi I,m sorry for your pain.This is hell excuse my french.I worked for 22yrs in the Laundry .I had to quit I feel so hopeless.Any bending or twisting lefting at home well send in unbearable pain.I know what your going through we have to stick together on here and be each others sounding boards because they dont understand the chronic pain we live with.Take Care dee
The cart guys almost always ask me why I need help..I try and always have my husband go with but sometimes I like to pretend I have some independence left. The last guys rolled his eyes like I was lying and I spend 15 mins in the car crying before I could drive home...I got shoved to the ground in the Wal-mart parking lot b.c some guy thought I was someone else that felt great in my already DDD'd lumbar and S spine...But yeah, I'm with you on the cart boys and the store...the older guys are always nice to me...the one says he offered bc. I'm so tiny lol...(I'm 5'3) he said he just figured I'm so petite I would need the help anyway. The younger guys who think I'm closer to their age and don't believe in chivalry anymore are usually the ones who ask....I'm turning 27 on the 27th and the last few birthdays have been depressing...It's like...I never had disabled before 30 on my list of things to do. Didn't mean to give you such a long hug...sorry...but

I am here because I have mid thoracic ddd at the age of 25. I also have a rare blood clotting disorder, tendentious in my knee and beginning signs of carpel tunnel. All of these bother me often but my back is the worst and the most constant. My mother helped me find this site because it has been really hard for me to handle this situation in my life. So if anyone would like to talk to me or lend me a kind word I will always appreciate it.
I had one still born child 5 years ago and 2 miscarriages since then. I feel like a total failure as a woman and I dont know what I should do. I also have degenerative disc disease so carrying a child is much more difficult. I dont know how to cope with these 2 very touchy issues. Please help.
I have had chronic back pain since I was 14 years old. I just recently found out that It was degenerative disc disease. I stil have no relief for the back pain but at least I know what it is right.... lol yeah that doesn't help except tell me what I cant do anymore.
