LUMBAR INSTABILITY
I just want to share to you guys that as of 9:00 am of Wednesday, July 30, I was diagnosed with LUMBAR INSTABILITY. Meaning that one of the 3 columns of my spine has been damaged. Damn. How did that happen? IDK. Hehe. Could be the result of my prolonged sitting infront of the pc all day. HAHA! or, bad posture cos I’ve been slouching for ages. Hmm. I’ve been complaining this lower back pain (right side) for almost half a year already. At first they thought it was kidney stones cos they suspected it to be flank pain..but they were wrong. The doctor suggested that I have it checked by a Chiropractor or have it rehabed. But since I was taking painkillers that time, I immediately thought that after the pain was gone, I’d be okay. WRONG! I became dependent to it that I forgot to have it checked by the Chiro. Hehe. With that tiny mistake, here I am, complaining backaches every night. I swear I was crying last Friday cos it was that painful. Also, I thought my kidney stones recurred. Hmm. Doctora-pretty-handrwiting said that it wasn’t flank pain (symptoms of kidney stones) although they did see blood in my urine but because I was expecting my menses, she said that I have a repeat urinalysis after I have my period. Haaaay. And she said that there’s no reason for me to not have my therapy sessions now that it’s clearly obvious on my x-ray sheets that my lumbar is, well..unstable.
I Googled LUMBAR INSTABILITY awhile ago and it scared me.
"Clinical instability
of the lumbar spine associated with fracture/dislocation is well
recognised and usually requires surgical intervention. Orthopaedic
surgeons, medical practitioners and physiotherapists have long
realised that a less severe form of instability exists which can
cause debilitating symptoms, while not displaying the dramatic
neurological implications that are associated with
fracture/dislocation."
TAENA HA. surgery?! 
Haaay. Sana lang therapy lang tlga makakagamot nito. PRAY FOR ME GUYS. Thanks!
