HERNIATED DISC 🗣🗣🗣 I know I haven't really said much about this, but for those who didn't know, I've been having pretty severe nerve pain for the past 5 months or so and it's been extremely debilitating. I've noticed pain ever since I started playing soccer years ago and recently, have inferred that it most likely was a result of me breaking my Femur in Pre-K. The pain only recently became much more severe and intrusive on my day-to-day life, as previously stated, about 5 months ago, and I've been suffering since. I'm making this announcement today because I went to an orthopedic specialist recently to get an analysis of my MRI, which I had done a couple of weeks ago. Turns out I have a herniated disc. In lamen terms, one of my spinal discs isn't sitting properly and is protruding out of place. The jelly-like disc in between my spine was ruptured and lacks the proper structural integrity it's meant to have. This has been causing my severe constant pain and has been debilitating my range of motion. Although this sounds really bad, and according to the specialist, it is rare to see in a 17-year-old, but it's treatable. I've received a prescribed dosage of oral steroids to be taken over a given amount of time. I will also be going to physical therapy (something I had already been doing but has been less effective due to our previous lack of understanding of what is causing the pain). This is something that should heal itself over time. I don't think surgery is something I'll need. Hopefully, now that we've properly identified what the issue is, I can start proper treatment and get back to normal soon. Or at least be relieved of being in persistent 24/7 pain. #LSAGhost #Cripple #WeBall #LiveLaughLove #HerniatedDisc #Announcment
