girl i legit thought i was having a stroke because my left arm was pins and needles tingling so bad i could barely sleep but when we got there, we just sat there in the parking lot and i pictured leaving the hospital 7 hours from now with no answers and a $1000 bill and decided i would bite the gun instead and see what happens anyways yay i survived and i have decided i probably pinched a nerve
When I was 15 I got titanium rods screwed into my spine because of kyphosis (like scoliosis but bent forward instead of sideward). This involved two surgeries and a long scar straight down my entire back and another on my side. Then I had to wear a full plastic back brace for six months which scarred my psyche way more than surgery scarred my body.
