What happened to me!! Just so you dont have to ask me/.

What happened you might want to ask?
well if you read this then it will tell you.

I will start at the begining.
I have been having back pains for about 3 years now and my mom and I decided that it was time to go into the Chryoparcter and get it looked at and fixed.
So we went in. When we went in and told them everything that had been going on they said that they could easily fix me. So they decided that they needed to take some X-rays.
They also asked me to come back the next day.
So when I came in the next day they had gotten my X-rays back and said that I have Sacrilliaidus in my hips, which means that the nerve that runs along your hip bone ( your sacrum) is inflamed and that I have to get cortizome shots in them to fix it.
They also said that I have acute arthuritus and that it can be stoped now so it does not become worse.
Then the worst came along.
They told me that they needed to take X-rays of my neck so that they can see my whole spine to determine if my back problems were caused by something else.
So they did.
When we got those back, is when everything really bad started to come out.
They told me that I had broken my neck and that a piece of my bone was just floting in my neck and that my neck was so badly compressed that it would massive readjusting and mabey even surgery! They also said that I could not snowboard or play soccer or run for that matter until next year.
So they put me in a neck brace that i have to wear for 10 days until I can get put into my halo.
They also said that I have artheritus in my neck and that it can also be stoped.
When I asked them to adjust my neck and back they said NO and that no one should touch my neck because all they have to do is move the piece of bone that is broken about 2 centermeters and it would sever my spinal cord and paralize or kill me! WOW that is scary! So I am stuck in this stupid neck brace and then a Halo for forever! And I have to go to therapy EVERYDAY.

Here is my schedule for thereapy

first I go in and see the Doctor
then I go with the nerse and she does Electrolisis on my back and neck to relieve the spazums that my muscles are having.
Then she does this weird ultasound thing on my back the relaxes the muscles.
Then they ice me for 10 mins
After all that I go to the Physical Therapy room, and do some streches.
Then the doctor comes back and pokes my neck and maybe takes some more X-rays to make sure that everything is going OK.
about now I have been there for about 3 hours
and all I have to do now is go and get the activator on my back. its this little thing that clicks on my spinal cord and moves the vertabray back into place. its kinda like poping your back.
I do not get that on my neck.
well over all I am at the Chryoparcters for about 4-5 hours depending on what they have to do.
EVERYDAY

Also I am on so much pain meds that I can barley function, so if you see me and I cant remember your name I am sorry but its the meds.

Well I hope that everyone will read this so I dont have to explain it to every person that I see.
