C5/C6 fracture. You have dangerously life-threatening instability. Words nobody wants to hear. Over the course of 12 days my neck was slowly breaking in small increments my surgeon was out of town & I had no trust in the residents after the way they treated me. Despite horrid pain I was told, "You don't look "sick enough' to be in the hospital"

My sons neck has been bothering him after many trips to the er and ct- scans and then to his doctor she said that the only thing that was reported was an old neck fracture, which was never even reported to him ever. So he finally had an mri and now has an appointment with a neurologist this week. Thanks for sharing.

Oh my gosh! That's crazy! How would that have even happened?! I hope that the neurologist is able to bring insight into your son's symptoms & he gets relief. Thank you for sharing! All the very best to you both! It's hard to watch someone you love struggle.

Wow! I'm so sorry you had to go through that and so glad you made it out the other side. I also really appreciate the reminder. I just scheduled my neck, x-rays and MRI and sometimes it's hard to remember that it is the right thing to push for answers when something feels really wrong.

Like you, I have had multiple surgeries & hospitalizations (21 surgeries & 4 non surgical hospital admissions just since 2010, the last surgery was was 10/2022.) I’m still dealing with issues. As a retired nurse it is so frustrating to see how patients are ignored. I have to constantly advocate for myself & twice for siblings who were both dying from cancer. The Lord is why I am still here. Listening to what you & your family have gone through is so frustrating to hear. I live with constant pain & if one has never dealt with severe pain, which is most medical staff, they have no understanding of how challenging it is to just function. To be ignored, pushed off, improperly diagnosed is now the reality of how patients are treated & sadly it is only going to get worse. Those few doctors & staff that really want to treat patients are being blocked by the hospitals that are now controlling most practices. Many have or are in the process of retiring. It is big business that is the priority & not patient care. I thank you for sharing your experience. I pray the Lord continues to give you & your family the support you will need throughout the rest of your lives. Your life is a marathon, not a sprint & you will need that support daily. God bless you through this journey. ♥️🙏✝️

He is the reason I've been able to overcome everything I've faced. I'm glad you have Him in your life too. It sounds like you've been through a tremendous amount. It is very hard to convey how severe the pain is when, as you said, so many do not understand. Your siblings were blessed to have a sister advocating for them. It can be so intimidating to speak up. I'm so sorry for all you've endured. Praying for you 🙏 Stay strong.

Oh they allll saw it. One of the neurosurgeons came down to find me in the ER lobby. He brought me into one of the triage rooms with my parents, told me to lay back on the gurney & not to move. In that moment we knew something was very bad but didn't know what. All the residents were spoken to by my surgeon.

My neck XRay looks very similar to yours. My situation is A.S. ( ankylosing spondylitis ) witch is only half my problems. My surgeon thinks the other 50% is bad genetics. I'm trying to put off having my skull fused to the spine for as long as possible but that day is near. I'm 32 and have no life due to my medical problems. You and I see things way different. To be honest, I believe that I am here to suffer. Because I am the black plague of bad luck. Not just for my spine problems but all my medical issues and life in general. I'm sorry for your pain and suffering. I hope you have more good days than bad!

I've been screwed back together, shattered pelvis lower spine. I was told I would never walk again, and even if I did walk, it wouldn't be for very long. It's been 10 years now, and I'm still walking. I've lost everything I've worked for. Life really sucks getting any treatment for pain is like I'm asking the doctor for heroin. I never gained any weight when people normally do gain weight, but I don't have enough money to gain weight! If these doctors had any compassion at all, they would have let me die. Doctors, nurses, and the whole medical system puts the bare minimum effort in. Meanwhile, if you're a alcoholic or drug addict the world is laid out at your feet, medical attention, and jobs. If you have an accident, if it's your fault or someone else's fault and you're screwed! I knew that night my life as I knew it was over whether I recovered or not. I'm really sick of the pain! I wish the DEA could be kicked out of the doctors office! I don't need pain medication every day just once in a while. Hurting physically inside makes life and socializing extremely difficult.

I'm so sorry. I can read the pain in your comment. I sympathize with you. Finding a doctor to help assist with managing pain can be like pulling teeth. Physical pain is brutal. Anybody that has been screwed back together is going to experience pain. There's such a stigma on using pain medication because of people who've abused it. That has greatly impacted those who truly require it. What some healthcare providers don't realize is that medication is what allows us the ability to go & live our lives to the best of our ability. If it were me I would try to find a new pain management doctor. It took time for me to find one who truly understood what I was dealing with. I'm thankful for him daily. You're worthy & important. You have a purpose in this world. I hope you know you're worthy & by sharing some of your story you've not only helped me, but you may help others feel less alone. Thank you for your vulnerability. Wishing you all the best.

I’m a Christian, and of late I’ve been suffering (again) from bad depression. I wonder why God allows such things to happen to me, and how I suffer from it. Then I received your post, and I (re) realise there is always somebody worse off. I was an alcoholic and God took it away from me miraculously, but he didn’t take the depression away. I reckon he has his reasons. I’ve been a subscriber of yours for some time, and each time I marvel at how faithful and trusting you are to God. I’m sure you have your moments or even days, months of doubt, as we all do. I don’t know why he allows you to suffer so badly, but I know he loves you, and I know there’s a reason known only to himself, and maybe you won’t know what it is this side of Heaven. I’m praying for you. I don’t precisely know what to pray for, but I pray he will ease your discomfort and give you strength to hang in there. I guess he has used your obvious issues to help the likes of me, if that helps a little. May he bless you.

You showed up in my feed today and it was the video of you getting the halo taken off in 2016. In that video you said you didn’t feel supported in the back and I could see exactly where you were referring to. I’m appalled a resident didn’t think your pain was real. I instantly could see what issues you were having after seeing your X-ray. I have multiple medical issues that have caused me to live in terrible pain for which I am taking pain medication for. I’ve seen a few of those type of doctors that do not believe you are in severe pain. I’m sorry that you experienced that level of pain and the doctor discharged you thinking it was nothing. Always listen to your body. No one will advocate for you better than you can. May God continue to protect you and watch over you. 🙏🏻♥️😊

After that video was taken I went down to their casting & brace department where a brand new brace was made because, yes the original was too big. My muscles atrophied while in the halo. Thankfully the new brace was 100x better. My neck broke in 2017 after spinal fusion. Which reminds me, u have to upload that halo removal. Thank you for your prayers. I'm sorry you've experienced doctors who didn't listen to your symptoms. It's not easy to deal with. All the best to you.
