I'm so happy to have found this page. I am currently waiting on the Diagnostic Guide so I can take it. I was rear ended in Oct 2020 and went from being an active mom with a great job to no longer being able to work and honestly don't want to be here. Then in February 2023 my son and I were hit in my VW Golf by a truck hitting my son's side, spinning the car and throwing us into a telephone pole. I was unconscious for 4mins face down in the airbag. My son was okay on scene but is now having some physical issues. I have had no treatment, nothing. I was taken to the hospital where my burns from the dust from the air bags caused blisters on my hand and my throat has not been the same since yet I was not treated for those injuries just a ctscan and xrays, I have developed a cough. I have no quality of life. It took my doctor a year of my going back to see him over and over again and saying he couldn't prescribe something, only after a serious injury that required stitches which I did not get, I glued my self inflicted wound myself and then I needed an outlet for the pain and started to pierce myself, after 16 piercings and an attempt at a tattoo with a Dremel (no I am no mentally crazy, just mentally exhausted) I saw my Psychiatrist and showed him what I'd been doing, he is an amazing person and the next visit with my family doctor I was prescribed pain meds. They did help, but I am scared of them I have been taking them for awhile now and 4-5mgs a day is no longer working. I cannot do anything without ending up in pain, I'm OCD and cleaning is my outlet for stress and my home does not reflect me. I have kids but with just moving nothing is finished, and I'm in more pain now than when I was in the first accident. Only this time, by back spasms and feels like electrical shots and my legs and feet go numb to the point where I cannot get up or will fall, I've fallen so many times. I was healthy worked out everyday, my family have all since passed from heart disease, and cancer and they were diabetic as well. I had gestational so I know I was at a greater risk. My kids are why I am still here and they were the reason why I changed my life, diet and exercise routine. I was in the best shape physically, mentally and then my world changed I cannot even sit on my bed without pain starting. I am in so much pain that I cannot eat, my pain meds don't really help me because once I start moving I'm in pain. I don't know what to do anymore, I cannot live like this every single day being in ungodly pain and my kids seeing me cry. I want me back. I don't want to depend on pills. I had a strong core, but over time not being mobile I gained weight and I'm not me anymore. I can't even make breakfast for my kids. I want my kids to have their mom back and my doctor is doing lip, butt and those things and I told him with my daughter next to me that I am in so much pain I don't want to be here, and he said wait on the neurologist. My frontal lobe issues have nothing to do with the back pain and now I didn't think possible to experience more pain than I was in but here I am....I'm currently wearing the above back brace I just stood up, I didn't have to walk, bend do anything. I had previously in the hour before went to the bathroom and just from sitting for a few seconds I found myself back to laying on the couch trying to pull my knee up to my chin to stretch my back and lessen the pain. It hurts to breathe and I don't normally tell anyone but I asked my brother to use his account so I could look up back braces home made. Please tell me what I should do, or what I should be asking my doctor. The only thing they saw was my upper 3-4 now have arthritis. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and my Psychiatrist will help me with my family doctor but I don't know what I need.

Love your mind Dr! Brilliant 💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥

Good idea!

Ugh…. Going on 7 days , very little sleep and dull pain 24/7 and occasional shooting electric pain down left leg. Wish you weren’t so far away. I appreciate the alternative approach to low back / butt pain causes and solutions.

Deceptive Title. Title made it seem like the video was a legit DIY "homemade back brace". Title should mention something along the lines of: "How to test (at home) if a back brace is right for you".
