I had 2 spinl surgery's when I was just around 18,i'm 27 now.The second surgery was to fix a pin that slippined either in phiscal theropy or when a nurse taking me to P.T.had my I.V.on the wrong side and I tripped over the cords.The pin slipped hit and tore up a piece of my vertibrate and spine.I was in so much pain and they had me jacked up on pain meds so much they started to believe I was faking the pain and thinking I was an ADDICCT!!It took me,my mother and my father to demand the hospitol to take more xrays and sure enough,they found the pin that slipped. Now, after all that, about 2 years ago I was working,I was a butcher and sometimes would help out the deli at a local grocery store.Late one night I was taking some food back to the freezer and when exiting I sliped on a sheet of ice.I mean like in the movies sliped,both feet in the air,my back around a meter off the floor before gravity kicked in.Was in EXCRUCIATING pain.The kind you know that just makes you want to give up,your just so aggitated,misreable,offensive,I mean just horrid,horrid pain. Went threw 3 Doctors whom you must go if your hurt in the work place,took xrays, told me nothin' wrong, your fine,blah,blah,B.S..I finaly couldn't take it,went to my old doctor whom put me on morphine sulfate,30 mg's 3 times a day. Didn't touch the pain.So he had to gradually increase it untill now,i'm on 100mg's 4 times a day.Now he told me go back to the orthopitist that did my surgery and see whats going on.So,I did go back same hospitol and surgeon,took 3 xrays,came in and told me the rods they put in my spine after the first operation,2 on each side and the pins that go into my bone to stabilize it snapped in 2.Now I have to go threw a third freakin' surgery,10%chance I can be paralyzed and/or never walk again,75% chance ill have a very weak knee from all the nerve damage and 75% chance that it will do nothing for the pain because so much damage was done.We have a big case for suit but what of the pain?
