Medical Procedure
Donation protected
Right now I am an unemployed student working towards my Bachelors Degree. I used to serve in the Army in 2007 and broke my SI Joint. This is where your hip connects with your spine. The bone has healed, but left nerve damage that serves me with daily pain.
I fought the VA for about 5 years and finally gave up when they said I didn't have a case. I have paid for all my medical bills for my back out of my own pocket, but this last procedure is spendy. I have been to a pain specialist and they want to begin putting blockers in my back.
They will have to stick long needles between my joints to block out the pain and this will be done about 2-3 different times. After that time the doctor would like to go in and carterize the nerve so that it can have a chance to regrow into a healthy one. This is not 100% guaranteed, but it is the first step and I would like to avoid surgery at all costs.
I am asking from the bottom of my heart to please help me get better so that I can lift things normally again, so that I can have a normal job and just be... Well... Normal...
Thank you all for your consideration and continuous support.
