farewell to freestyle

about a year and 2/3s ago, i had a bad landing. A few months after that, i hurt that same area of my back. It took me 1 year and 8 months to get an MRI done on my back, because of canada's awesome universal healthcare. I just found out yesterday that i can no longer freestyle ski, or do downhill biking because i ruptured 2 discs in my back(one i didnt even know about) in 2 different areas. Here is what pisses me off the most, had they known exactly how severe the damage would have been a few months after, it could have been treated. Now, i'm fucked for the rest of my life.
Since my little accident, i have only been to the park once or twice, because i thought that had i stayed away from it, it would have healed sooner.
I also cant do moguls, skiercross, and maybe even racing. The consequences of this are more pinched nerves, and spasms (ie charlie horses and cramps) for the rest of my life. I can still do easy freeriding, but there is none where i live.

oh my!! That is possibly the worst thing ever. I hurt my back last season and I think it's better now though. Oh man, your body may be able to heal itself, just take good care of it and exercise and stretch, that's all you can do. Don't believe everything the doc tells you. What is the pain like in your back??

at first, the disc was pushing up against a nerve, and ever time i sat down(which was terrible during exams) i would get spasms in my left leg. IT had gotten a lot better, no more pinched nerve, this after over a year. Now, if i do the activities mentioned above, all those symptons will come back, and become even worse.
frosting on the cake-my medication, viox, has been discontinued.
However, i'm still stoked for this season, i just have to cool it down a lot.

word. my back gets all fucked up when I start dryland every fall because I chill out on the physical activities in the summer, so I got to the chiro and he fixes me. My dad has known him for a long time, so he charges me once, but lets me come back as many times as I need until I'm 100% pain free. He's so cool. Last time I came back about 10 times, and the initial charge was covered by insurance except for like 10%.

you are lucky viox is discontinued. my mom took it, and it totally made her sick for extended periods of time. thats why its unavailable now.

anyways, im sorry to hear that. i hope you get better.

'I was in the waiting room of my doctor's office before a physical this morning. There's nothing wrong with me, but healthy people get physicals just-for-the-hey-of-it every couple of days. When they finally mispronounced my name, I got up and walked down a hall with a nurse. After a while, the doctor came in and inspected my holes. He said that I should lose weight and consider stop smoking. I blew smoke in his face and explained that he is a douche bag. We all had a good laugh and he agreed.' -Skydaddy

Dude that sucks. Let me give you one piece of advice about getting treatment in Canada: You have to be pro active. If you get pro active, serach out doctors, and FIND SOLUTIONS, you'll get better results. I had to do it for my knee, but it was worth the months of work, agony, and depression.
