Act 1, Scene 3: SDH

I feel so screwed...

The back pain I've been experiencing for the past few weeks got diagnosed by my GP yesterday. And he said it could be a first stage SDH. What's SDH?

SPINAL DISC HERNIATION

Or a slipped disc. I think I got it when I was lifting weights the other day. But I dismissed it as a mere muscle sprain - which I get all the time when starting my routine initially. But as the days passed, the pain got so unbearable. It affected my groin (WHOLE GROIN including the important parts); it travelled from one side to the other.

And two nights before, when I was at Straits Kitchen, it practically immobilised by left knee. What did it feel like? Imagine someone taking a red-hot metal spike and jamming it into the top of your knee cap.

I couldn't sit because the disc was so compressed, my legs were cramping up. I couldn't bend down to pick up things. I felt so screwed. And yesterday when I was doing DCM with Eileen and Puvan, it got much worse. Now, the spike turns into a rod and someone is running it through me from the back of my waist right through my body and into my left leg. I was in so much pain I knew I had to go see the GP.

I think a multitude of things have caused this to happen. I admit that it is because of my weight (also after checking out Wikipedia). So there's extra incentive to lose alot of pounds. Then, I worked out very suddenly the other day without a proper warm-up. And terawih just aggravated it. Hai... I hate it when my body breaks down. I hate it even more when I can't do my work cos of the pain.

Something life-changing could be in the works for me soon. Not gonna say it out now but I hope I can soon. =)
