I just found this thread. How awesome is this.
Last year, 3/20/17 I fell through an attic at work. I do/did (not sure what the fulture holds) HVAC. In doing so, I-
Herniated two discs in my neck, herniated a disc in my lumbar spine, sprained my back, twisted my spine at my sacrum which destroyed my si joints, tore the heck out of my right hip labrum and partially tore the left, and have swelling, fluid buildup, and am starting to have subluxation in both knees from prolonged cane use. I've had on and off sciatica.
I had hip surgery in October and a lot of my hip pain has subsided. That said, I'm still in a tremendous amount of pain on a daily basis. There's days I can barely walk, even with my cane. It has been 13 months and worker's comp has finally decided to start treating my back (thank God!). They're going to do some more diagnostic injections and possibly discuss surgery(s). I'd ask for prayer for continued cooperation on the insurance company's end and continued progress in the healing itself. Even if I can't continue HVAC, just to be relatively pain free and mobile would be good enough for me.
Thank you!
