Here i stand alone.
Well, For anyone who actually wants to know, i think i should put down some details about whats wrong with me. Nice and simple.
The tl;dr version first for a change. ;-)
tl;dr: As our bodies grow older, The discs in between our vertebrae [Bones] Starts to degenerate, as the Vertebrae fuse over time. Normally this process starts around the ages of 50-60. Now, In my case and my Mothers case, This process starts when we are around 20. So My spine is degrading MUCH faster than it should.
Now the long version: The condition is called Degenerative Disc Disease. Its not technically a disease, However the properties of its function are similar to that of a disease. Now, the degradation is different in each person, but main is primarily in my 3rd and 4th Lumbar, and a bit around the 4th and 5th Thoratic.
The degredation can cause a few things in different order, But the 2 things that will mainly happen are: Ruptured Disc {Simply, the disc ruptures, and the Vertebrae essentially clamp down onto the spinal cord causing intense pain over a huge period of time.} Or a Herniated Disc.{ A Herniated disc has Slipped on an angle, forcing the vertebrae to sit at an angle, twisting the spinal nerve, as well as crushing various parts of the spinal cord and nerve system.}
Yup, That hurts. Alot. And i have either one of those happening up to and beyond 5 times. My Mum has got 4 Discs gone, and each time a disc goes, she is in bed for around a month, inable to move, with huge muscle spams and agonising pain.
I get to look forward to a long time of pain and agony. All i’ll have is my friends, and i just want to know that peoples thoughts are with me. If you’ve read this, let me know. it would mean a lot.
Now, I can’t sleep, cause my back spasms and hurts like hell, so im gonna chill to some music and see how i go.
