Hello, my name is María and I am a Spanish girl of 28 years old. The story of my shoulder, however, goes back to 2015, when I was still 24 years old. I has always been a happy, energetic person. I was living in Canada as part of an international programme working as a teacher of Spanish and cultural advisor in some public schools. I was really enjoying the experience... Even though I was advised Edmonton was very cold, I was happy even with the cold, with the ice, I was trying to enjoy every single moment... One day my life changed, and I have not been able to fix it yet. It has only gotten worse.... I fell down and seriously damaged my shoulder. Sprained ligaments, broken humerous, torn tendon, adhesive capsulitis, damage in the axilar nerve... Everything has been told to me throughout these more than four years of suffering, first in Canada and then also here in Spain. Two surgical procedures, injections, lots and lots and lots of rehab, even psychological therapy for helping me... I have finally found the solution as I am travelling to Estonia to visit the doctor Austin Oolo (Canadian, but just a coincidence!!). I already look at this treatment four years ago when realised that doctors here were not able to managing my arm, which had completely lost its function. However, it is very expensive and I could not afford it. Now I do not know how to proceed, I was considering asking for a loan as my family has been helping me a lot and we are not rich at all. I have lost lots of work time, and many many opportunities. As i am young, I still did not have financial stability when this occurred to me. And it is a problem involving the shoulder joint but also the whole back, neck, head, even face and hips because of the compensation movements. I feel totally broken and I have though of finishing with my life at many moments because of the misunderstanding and lack of empathy this disability generates. It's so disabling and frustrating, I have been fighting a lot and feel so tired. I need to pay for this treatment and for the flight/stay expenses. You can search the treatment if you want, ask me for medical reports, or whatever you need. I want to live, I want to recover my energetic live. Help me please. I can send videos with my current range of motion right now too.
