Annular Tear in L4 Vertebra - Suggestions? Posted: 10-24-07 02:13am
i was orignally going to physical thearpy
for my knees. the hadent found anything
structerly wrong. and within 2 weeks i
started noticing crippling pops in my
knees and back pain. i went back to the
docter and they then told me i have pars
defects. so i was suppost to do thearpy
for that but after 2 visits it was clear
that there was something more serious
wrong. and had me do a MRI. they then
found i have something called annular tear
in my l4 vertebra. they gave me medication
propoxyphene.that medicine keeps me out of
school because its narcotic. iv already
missed 7 days. and its a week until i even
get to see a pain specialist. i have read
timelines about how long people miss work
due to this injury and its about 9 to 12
weeks. that would put me back in school in
2008 with the schedual my school has.
the pain is killing me and the meds only
help for a little bit
do any of you have seggistions or anything
to help me here??
