Got Anything Random To Say

Post Reply New Topic

I get the Canadian politeness puns, but that turkey is gonna get cold before the American guests arrive.

I said that I could be a Sweet Pea for the entire month of October. I'm already a Sweet Pea. I know that I'm a Sweet Pea. It's just that I see me as Schultz and Om Nom as my pet. I told everyone that I would use Om Nom as an avatar the entire month of October one morning when I was high on coffee. My perma-avatar is going to remain the same. I've never had a permanent avatar before. I guess I've finally found one that "Speaks to me."

Seeing my family today.

'I was bored before I even began.'

It seems, this is the only place on the internet; where I'm not ostracized for being autistic, etc.

Schultz is a Sweet Pea.

I need to see my doctor. My spine hurts so bad that it sometimes stops me from doing basic things like showering. I also still have massive headaches from when I hit my head.

Sweet Pea hugs

Sorry to hear that.


Is your spinal pain new?

What type of pain is it?

When did you hit your head?

Is the spinal pain from a prior spinal injury?

The unusually warm temperatures are getting to me. I'm drinking 50% more fluids than I usually do. My thinking has been very foggy for the past two weeks. I haven't enjoyed cooking either. I don't like standing over a hot stove in the heat. I've been starting my days off with coffee to have some energy, which only makes me more thirsty. I broke down today as far as sugar intake is concerned and bought myself a Lime Crush slushie at a convenience store. I wish that I could reach into my wall for a snow-like water slushie so I don't have to worry about sugar.

A part of my spine + a part of my neck were already messed up and hurt before, but I was in a car accident more than a month ago that made those injuries worse. My job is also kind of strenuous + I do the tasks by myself, even though I guess I'm not supposed to, so my spinal pain has slowly gotten worse.

I also hit my head really hard on a metal bar at work relatively recently. I started having migraines + my face and the roof of my mouth somehow ache after it.

Yeah, definitely talk to your doctor about these issues.
Have you had any recent MRIs done on the area?


Also, don't make your job harder than it is supposed to be, especially with your injuries. If you are supposed to do something (such as lifting heavy objects) as a team, don't do it by yourself.

Also, think about things like how often it is happening, where it hurts, the type of pain (such as aching, stabing, ect.), how severe the pain is, what makes it better or worse, if it radiaties then where, and how long this has been happening. Try to write dome of these things down to bring with you to your doctor.

Humans are all worthless, we spend 97% of our time just sitting around and eating and turning into disgusting sacks of fat and blood.

Speak for yourself, I work between 8-16 hours a day between two jobs.

I haven't had any MRIs done. I got x-rays done by a chiropractor, but I don't think that he actually knows what to look for. My doctor will probably want me to get x-rays again or something when I see him.

Also, in my department we are supposed to have partners, but theres only 7 people instead of 8, so someone has to work by themselves. Apparently someone is supposed to come over and help them move things anyways, but my coworkers dont always help me. I also am the one who works by themselves because I can't predict and coordinate with what my coworkers are going to do, so it frustrates them and makes us both less productive.

I'm also definitely trying to keep track of when the pain occurs, how bad and what type it is, etc. So far I ache/feel pressure in my spine most of the time, and specific spots will occasionally feel like they're burning, which can sometimes radiate to the muscles in my back and around my spine.

You should be seeing actual medical doctors, NOT chiropractors.

You only have one back. You are too young to have that kind of back pain. You need to be taking the situation seriously. If your job cannot be safely done, than the situation needs to be changed either by making it safe or you need a new job. Jobs always have some bs excuse as to why something is ok when it really isn't. Sometimes you have to put your foot down and make it clear that it isn't ok. No job, not even a "perfect job" is worth destroying your back in your early twenties.

The status quo is untenable. You need to take spinal care seriously or you will regret it. As was explained to me by multiple doctors, injuries at that age tend to get better, or get worse, they don't tend to just stay the same.

Seriously, talk to some doctors. Get some scans done. And try to keep a written log of the pain and issues, including your migraines and such. This will help your doctors.


Also, I hope that you reported hitting your head at work at the time it happened as it is likely too late at this point.

I hope you feel better soon.
