Ok I was in a very bad accident in 2002 and I should have died but since I was so muscular it saved my neck from snapping but it crushed my whole spine.
i tried everything from physical therapy. ,occupational therapy,chiropractor ,accupuncture,massage therapy.nothing helped,even did eppiderralls but the pain and nerve pain and falling all the time confined me to a bed and I finally started taking pain meds cause the pain got so bad.
my radial nerve died in my left arm and hand causing it to fold over so I cant open it and after almost dieing during another fall I decided to see 2 more top neurosurgeons and they both told me I have a year left and there's 100% chance of being paralyzed and incontinent (peeing out of a bag)
the other option was to have major surgery which had a 60% chance of being paralyzed I took that route.
they had cut all my neck and back muscles in half and remove seven levels .cervical,thoracic lamenectamy and instrumental spinal fusion from C3-t2.
took me five years of being home bound and going from 5'6 220lbs at 4% bodyfat to 5'2 300lbs all bodyfat.yes I lost 4 inches.tge pain was still unbearable and still is bad but the meds and I used hgh test and deca and it helped me atleast make it to the gym but I can't go off so it didnt actually permanently help but as long as I'm on I can make it to atleast the gym and I gained alot of muscle back.im back down to 229 and I'm in the teens in bodyfat.
i still have to stay in my recliner most of the day but atleast I can make it to the gym. hope this helps.
the problem is I can't take anything that dries me out or majes the pain ten times worse which sucks
