Hi, my name is Allen I am 23 years old, ever

since I was in secondary school I had back pains which I always put

down to carrying a heavy school bag and walking up and down stairs all

day. but in the last 4 years it has gotten much worse, after seeing 3

doctors and them all prescribing me pain medication without any scans or

x rays I was none the wiser. I have now finally found a good doctor.

after explaining my situation on my first visit she actually sent me off

for scans,



The results came back and my last lumbar

vertebrae is rubbing against my sacrum which puts pressure

on my nerves, I can't do a lot of things

like running, exercise, lifting or carrying, sit or stand

for too long. I do photography which makes me bend over to get in

certain positions which will send sharp shocks up my spine so I can't do

that for very long. So doing certain movements will cause my vertebrae

to rub against my sacrum and press on my nerves.



I have flair ups

of good and bad days on the bad days I can't sleep or get in any

position to relieve the pain. And the pain medications dont help.

Doing the simplest of things like carrying shopping bags can make me

have pain for days. I am on a urgent waiting list for pain management

which is 18 months. I am on another urgent waiting list to see an

orthopedic surgeon which is 14 months and that is just the initial visit

and will still be a longer waiting list for the surgery itself.



So this

is why I want to try and raise money so I can go private and get this

surgery over and done with as soon as possible. Thanks to anyone that

helps.
