There is a fracture in my spine! The last vertabra has a crack! :punched:
Here comes a big sappy story about what the fuck happened:
I joined the gymnastics team for school a couple months back (im a HS junior), because they do pretty good conditioning and it's a chance to use the plyo. And because there was snow everywhere and it was disgusting until like, last weekend, so yeah, at first gymnastics was pretty fun.
Problem with the school gymnastics (at least here), is they don't care about you when you are sore or tired, they just push you harder because they want a better team. until you actually hurt yourself, at which point they finally get an inkling that maybe they should let up a little. But when that happens, you're fucked anyways.
I was a weak unconditioned fuck (and my tricks showed that), which was why I wanted to train. I was starting to get better (about to learn fulls), but then they don't let up on you when you actually need to, so then you die. I was already having increasing pain in my lower back for a couple weeks, but they decided for me that it was just soreness. Now I have a stress fracture just because i was worked too hard, and for a team that wants me out of the gym now as fast as possible, since I can't help them score at their fucking meets.
I've seen the doctor(s). The pathetic American health-care system kind of doctors that rips you off by sending you to get unnecessary screenings that cost a grand each, while telling you very little that is actually useful.
And actually helping your pains? naww.... (And insurance didn't cover it) Needless to say, they've accomplished nothing except confirm that I am indeed, screwed, (jeez, I kinda figured that for myself when I found I couldn't even sit down without stabbing pain in the lower back) while also helping screw us more in the monetary department as well. ANYWAYS
so the diagnosis... since this is from over exerting myself, and too much impact from the jumps and stuff that now messed up my spine, I have cut all activity. the bone will heal its fracture by itself right?
its really lame because the lower back is pretty much essential to everything you do, so i think it might heal slow just because i have to move around all the time anyways. anyhow, the doctors say 2 weeks sometimes, the next second they say 2 months. i've already been out for like, 4 weeks. fuck, i want to trick but it will be forever before i'm alive.
i'm wondering if any of you have had a back/spine issue like this, and how it fared for you? or you can laugh at my pathetic situation. that's cool too :juji:
