I was hanging up some pictures in my new house on Saturday & I stepped up on a chair to hang it & I was hit with the most excruciating pain in my right hip. Luckily my husband was close & was able to support me or I would have fallen off the chair! It still took us almost 1 minute to get me off the chair & to sit down, the pain was that bad!
I had him bring my walker over & he finally had to just grab me & move me over to sit on it because I couldn't move. He then wheeled me to a chair in the living room & he had to do the same thing, just grab me under my arms & put me in the chair. I was crying so hard, & screaming, that I started hyperventilating! I iced it for a while but after 2hrs. my husband insisted that we go to the ER but when he tried to lift me I thought I was going to pass out from the pain. He put me down & called 911. They felt I needed to go by ambulance so that's what we did.
A Cscan showed that my L4 disk is 3/4 gone,& 5 & 6 are completely gone. I have to see a Neurosurgeon for possible surgery. I'm really nervous because I'm not sure how my body will react. Please keep me in your prayers!!
