I am in a really strange point in my life. I have been having issues finding jobs lately. I had to quit my last job back in July because it became way too hard on my body. It was at the local newspaper, so they weren't very understanding of what was going on with me, and I was working 60-80+ hours a week. I've burned through all my savings. I've been wandering from couch to couch. And I am just falling apart. I am not longer able to do the manual labor I have been doing for the past 15 years, and I'm only in my late 20's.
The past 3 years I feel like I've been slowly decaying. I found out I have a sacrilized back. For those unfamiliar, I have a 6th Lumbar bone (you're supposed to have 5) which I guess somewhere around 10% of people have. My issue is that it is attached to my sacrum. You know those wings that come off your spine? Well that 6th bone's wings created a joint in my lower back. I didn't even know I had it my entire life, but once I found out (because of the pain) it didn't stop.
They told me there isn't a surgeon who would touch it because the chances I could end up paralyzed are way too high. I also have other bones in my back that aren't in the right spots. But don't generally cause me too much pain.
Recently I've been developing this weird symptom in my feet. It's like RLS. But its not my legs. It's hard to describe. The closest thing I can describe it as, it's like feeling intense anxiety, or that falling feeling in my feet randomly. It's been making my legs buckle randomly.
I lost everything because I can't work. And I'm not qualified to do anything else. I need medical care, and I have no home, no money. I'm barely making it day to day at the moment. I have no family who can help.
All I want to do is get back to work and regain my financial stability. But I'm scared. A year ago I was coming home with a couple grand a month, and now it's all gone. My car is gone. Everything. I have no one to help me.
I just need something to help me. I need to go to a doctor. I need to get fixed. Or I'm going to end up homeless within days.
Is there anything I can do?
