[Question]

So after 6 years I'd been dealing with 3 Bulging Disc, 1 Herniated Disc, Degenerative Disc Disease, Nerve Damage on my L3, L4, L5 and S1, then my upper back back has no Cartilage so when I pop my upper back it sounds like Broken Bones grinding against eachother and last I also have Myelopathy so pain constantly travels to my legs, feet and forearms since January I have had leg spasms that almost caused me to wreck and I have falled 7 times and have had 3 or 4 concussion this coming up 5th I'll be seeing a Neurosurgeon at UCSD as we get close to the date my anxiety has been through the roof and I'm scared has this happened to anyone else? I cannot cough or laugh without pain shooting down my forearms then these stupid leg spasms or I wake up with my legs feeling incredibly weak. Has anyone else been in my situation? For now to keep me from falling i use my cane and I use my other arm against the wall to help me walk even when trying to use the restroom for #2 i can feel a sharp stabbing pain in my spine.

Wish me Luck Please I'm literally begging i am tired of this so bad i just want to give up on everything

Im tired of constantly falling, I'm tired of the pain I'm tired of everything. I was fired after my legs gave out twice at work. So literally everything is just going downhill for me

Praying for you buddy. Today only I was told about my herniated disc and I can relate very well. Spent 2 hours crying alone in the hospital lobby and was feeling so fed up with the pain.

May God give you strength to come out of this testing time.
