Hi, I broke my back in two places a couple years ago. I was lifting weights and had 2 anterior compression fractures of the L2 and L3 vertebrate. When I went in at first they did an xray and said I was fine. I kept having muscle spasms and kept coming into the hospital. I didn t have insurance so they would nt do an mri and they labeled me a drug seeker due to other people going in for drugs. So I finally got indigent insurance and an mri was done and they found the fractures. I received an apology and an explanation. I also received a spinal tap to asparate the fracture area. So about a month goes by and I lose 50 pounds and I m sick every day so I start frequenting the hospital again and they label me as a drug seeker AGAIN! All they do is give me a bag of saline and tell me to go home and I even had to go in by ambulance a couple times because I couldn t even get off of the floor! So about a month after that I go to a hospital out of state almost incoherent and they do an xray and find staph right where the spinal tap was done(MSSA). I get flight for lifed out of state to another hospital where I am on a pick line with antibiotics for 6 weeks until my platelets drop so they had to put me on oral antibiotics for 2 weeks. I barely survived. I came back to my home state and there s obviously no apology this time because they messed up bad. So about a year goes by and my neck starts hurting bad and they mri it and find arthritis as bad as a 60 year old. Now my back is hurting again bad and I have had numerous visits to the ER but don t have insurance again and no way to treat pain where there is significant damage. What do I do? Free clinics wont prescribe pain meds and everyone labels you as a drug seeker because meds are so highly abused these days so do I just need to go score some smack (kidding!) to treat this or what can I possibly do? Sorry don t have money to have question answered.
