I don't want to live the rest of my life in pain Mood
Sunday, June 15, 2008 | A Call For Help story

I don't know what to do... I hurt so much. I started summer classes a few days ago and the physical pain has gone from bad to worse. I get shock like pain all the time in my neck and it goes down my left arm, my back kills and is all knotted up (according to my PT), my left arm and hand are weak and constintely tingle and ache, I get horrible burning nerve pain all the time. It's not fair, I am a young girl and all I want to do is catch up in school so I can graduate and live a normal life. I turn 20 next month but I feel like I am turning 80. I am losing my spirit and my positive attitude and I feel like nobody understands what I am going through and the pain I feel. I don't want to live the rest of my life in pain - and I want to know that I'm not alone. Please help! I feel so horrible and alone and I don't know how to overcome this.

Scared Mood
Monday, May 26, 2008
I have to get a CT scan in three months to see if the tumor is growing again. I am scared to death! It's an awful feeling to know that something could be growing inside of you trying to kill you

One after another Mood
Monday, May 26, 2008
So when I went to the doc a few days ago for a checkup, he told me no more roller coasters for life :-( and also that I may not see any improvement in my pain until maybe a year post-op. Then I had to see a the orthopedic surgeon who specializes in feet/ankles and he told me I had severe tendinitis and I was very luck my whole tendon didn't rupture. So now I am in a hard cast and limp along with a walking boot. My grandparents gave me their extra cane. I am so frustrated, I want to be able to be active and loose the weight that I put on since the surgery and have fun again but there is just one thing after another stopping me!! I feel so fat and out of shape and I hate it. My self-esteem is pretty much gone and everyone is calling me "Gimpy". I feel so sad and alone :-(Cry
