Doc comes back and says "CT scan shows nothing wrong so you are being released". I said "what about my legs, I can't move them, I can't stand" He said "The scan shows nothing wrong we can't and wont keep you, and we will help you out" I asked what was I suppose to do when we got home since nobody can carry me, and they didn't answer. I don't understand...why would he not check my reflexes, my pulse, ANYTHING?
I will pray for you but I think it’s going to come back on its own (God may speed it up).
Do you have feeling in your legs?
Your dealings with the ER sound EXACTLY what my mom had to deal with a couple of months ago. Same EXACT thing.
Taken by ambulance to hospital....put on a gurney to wait for HOURS with NO pain meds. People lined up on gurneys in the hallway. CT scan. Doc says nothing wrong. “Goodbye”.
It was disgusting.
Had to get her ice chips MYSELF. She had to go to the bathroom and I went to the nurse’s station THREE times to get her a potty.
It reminded me so much of what I had to deal with in the UK when I lived there.
trussell, let me pray for you.
“Father, I pray now for our sister trussell. Lord, we ask that her legs would be healed and restored to her. We ask You to put Your hand on her back and heal whatever injury happened when she hit the floor.
“Lord, you know the great struggles our sister has had recently, posted to the prayer list. Lord, we ask that You would intervene in the life of our sister who loves You and serves You. This family needs Your help and Your healing. We ask for You to come into this situation and heal her, heal her pain, and heal her stress. Show Yourself strong in her life.
“Lord, we ask for Your will to be done in trussell’s life. I have read her prayers on other’s behalf. Now, Lord, she needs a miracle herself. We ask for one. Oh, Lord Jesus, show Yourself very strong in her!
“Lord, we thank You for answering our prayers, and healing trussell of this injury. Lord, we thank You and praise You! In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Prayers up!
Prayers for your recovery.
Ubama would tell you to take a pain pill.
Unless you broke something this is likely temporary.
Keep us advised on how this progresses.
Best of luck to you!
Oh dear, saying a prayer now for you. Maybe you are just inflamed or something. Aspirin, hot tea with lemon & whiskey, that is what I prescribe. And/or chicken soup.
Will check back for updates, I hope in the AM you’ll be doing much better.
Sorry to hear your troubles.
If you are not allergic, and don’t have contraindications, I suggest taking some anti-inflammatories, such as Aleve or Advil, if you don’t have it handy, then aspirin, and see how you feel in the morning. You may have soft tissue swelling that causes you not being able to stand. If you are still in bad shape tomorrow morning, maybe you can go to a different hospital in the area.
Best of luck.
I presume they did a CT scan of your back — did they do X-rays of your legs to make sure you didn’t break anything?
Take a look and see if there is any swelling.
” I don’t understand...why would he not check my reflexes, my pulse, ANYTHING?”
This is really horrible. I hope you’ll be OK, but I suggest you call the ambulance tomorrow morning, if you aren’t better and have them take you to a different hospital.
Best wishes.
I looked at your FR home page — it’s lovely. I hope you’ll get better to get back to your dancing.
Prayers for you, trussell. I’d recommend seeing a chiropractor. Works wonders for me.
I wish I had some advice. I’ve had to deal with ER docs who were obviously just there for the paycheck. Sometimes if you can be enough of a pain in the ___ they’ll do more just to get you off their backs. Or there might be a better one on the next shift. Sometimes the nurses can help, too. I was choking to death in the ER once because my throat had swollen shut, and after the doctor screamed at me and left in a huff because I wasn’t saying my name loudly enough (I was CHOKING), one of the nurses gave me something that reduced the swelling enough I could breathe. I still want to punch that doctor.
Same thing happened to me on Monday.
Haven’t been able to drive all week.
They did blood, ecg, ekg, cat scan and declared me healthy.
I started a new blood pressure pill that had dropped my BP to 89/56.
Since nothing else was wrong they recommended I stop the med for 1 week and return to the old med after that.
Prayers up!
Prayers for your speedy recovery.
Get a second opinion...
Prayers for you for complete recovery.
You should rub windex all over.
