Re: Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

Happy if you want to start a thread so discuss. It sounds incredibly hard. Would love to connect with you more and so others can also support you too.

No pressure of course, but if you want to start a thread, and don't know how, we can also support with this.

Looking foward to hearing from you.

I was crushed between a forklift and the side of a truck 12 years a go and had a list of injuries a page long. Three fractures to my lumbar vertebrae and two ruptured discs.

I lost sensation in my left leg and was successful with the first op but I think the second on has failed 🤔😡🤬🫤

Awwww mate. That's tough. It brings me back to a friend I had who got injured at work and lost sensation in her arm completely. She never fully recovered. That was when she was in her early 20s and just starting her career. She's in her 40s now. It's really affected her quality of life.

Hence, I can see how hard it is for you. We all only have one back. Walking, eating, sleeping... is all affected by one's back. I can only imagine the pain that comes with it.

Any chance of recovery in the future? Or is it too hard to tell at this point? @BipolarRich

@tyme

I am only going to be getting worse as time goes on.

I also had my left femur snapped in half, torn left ACL, coccyx fractured into five pieces, both kidneys bruised, bleed on the liver four muscles torn in my upper back and a partial ligament tear in my left shoulder..... should be able to explain the anxiety and PTSD
