So I was in a bad accident when I was about 19 and was young and stupid and put it off and put it off until a year had passed and it was too late to claim it on my auto insurance. So years later, and 6 years dancing (on and off), I stay in HORRIBLE pain daily and its soo much worse when I work, which is only 2 days a week. Im taking classes online this semester so Id like to pick up atleast one extra shift per week.
Anyhow, I dont have health insurance and looked up options @ the charity hospital and figured out Id just have to go out of pocket w/ anything I decide to do. Tried the chiropractor and ended up in MORE pain than anything so I quit that shit.. I try to get massages ever so often but that tends to add up too. Ive gotten an MRI a few years ago and have 4 bulging discs and 2 herniated discs so decided to try the pain management. I went to a dr who charged 200 for the first visit and refused to give me any muscle relaxers, but wanted to put me on oxycotins, a whole bunch of em like 100 per month, which I totally refused bc I heard how bad that shit is. I am not trying to get addicted to anything and occasionally can find something on the "street", lortabs which help tremendously, which I may take one a week or so, when it gets REALLYbad...
Anyways, I guess my question is, anyone w/ bad back problems, a lot of pain, what do you do??? (besides hot baths which I do daily, muscle creams, ibeprofen, which of course Ive all tried and am just @ my wits end w/ it all). Please I do not want to hear "quit dancing" either bc that is not an option for another year when I quit school..
Thanks in advance!!![]()
