last year oct, i had a severe pain.. MRI done at my back and spine, the report shows L4/L5 disc prolapse. doc advised me to do an operation, its just a minor operation but it was just terrifying! i had to stop my duty, got myself admitted and the operation was 5hrs. finally i woke up and the pain was so bad, i cant even prop up myself. 2weeks in the ward, i look like a patient or than a nurse. mc for 3weeks..
previously on the early march, i had the pain again at the same location. i was so stress up and sickening with this problem. i visited my consultant again and had a MRI scan again, it shows L4/L5 recurrent disc prolapse, i knew that gonna happen again, my doc gave me a few opinion, 1 is to do an epiduralysis, it means injection through my coccyx and put some steroids for a temporary pain management. i agreed and went for the minor operation again, it was successful and the pain less, everything back to normal and i just concentrate on my work.
recently, i had the same pain again, i couldn't feel my left leg and cant even stand straight. the numbness make me feel annoyed, the procedure just 3 months ago, it should be last for at least 6 months and above. i forced myself to see my consultant again, he did all sorts of test n examine my left leg, the numb is there.. now he told me, the last choice is to undergo a full general anesthesia and major operation, need to put in a plat and screw to support my lumbar spine to prevent it from prolapse. i am lost, i cant even concentrate on my job, i have so many things need to think about. i'm in stress.
i can't sit in front of the PC and playing xdo too frequent, i can't bend my back to serve my medication, i can't even carry a heavy thing. i am so worried i might paralyze if the operation gone wrong.
why during my secondary sch time, i was too active! i fell from the stage and now causing me so much problem.. I'm lost and helpless.. god please give me a clue, is it the time for me to decease...? but i still want to survive.
