Question regarding herniated disc
      01/22/04 10:11 AM

Hi All!

If there is anyone online that has problems similar to mine I have a question. I have a ruptured lumbar disc as well as a herniated cervical disc with radiculpathy. Mon night as I was walking to my car at work I fell in the ice hard, flat on my back and my bottom. I went to the ER and the only pain I had (other then the normal) was my right arm, which was sprained with possible fracture (they couldn't be sure because of the amount of fluid built up) but anyway yesterday(Wednesday) I went back to work (A job where I sit all day). By mid to late afternoon my back was in severe pain. nausea, hot feeling, dizzy etc. Sitting at my desk has always aggrivated my back. My problem is this, I got up this morning in extreme pain, off the scale, had a really hard time getting out of bed. I had my PCP paged, and waited and waited, In the meantime something strange and to be honest quite scary is that when I have the urge to go to the potty I can not hold it, I can not det to the toilet fast due to my back and arm. I dont fully pee my pants but I definately can not hold it. Im sorry to be so gross but this is making me nervous, so I called the PCP's office after they opened and was told by the NP that My Dr is on vaccation and that she never got the message from the ans service (She was really pissed and apologized) After I told her what was going on she told me to go striaght to the ER that even if my Dr was here He would tell me the same thing. Now I am really worried, so I call the ER and spoke with a nurse, she told me I need to be seen asap, so I go on to tell her about my potty problem and I asked her if this is bad? Her tone changed and she said I need to go there right away and that she can not diagnose over the phone, I told her I can not drive in this shape and I can not get a hold of anyone at the moment, She said she highly reccomended that I call an ambulance. Well I may be a dummy but I am not calling an ambulance, no way, I finally have a ride, I am waiting now but can anyone tell me if they have had this problem? The NP and the Nurse at the ER have me really scared..........

Anything you can tell me to make me feel better?
Thanks
Tray
