My name is Kallie and I am 28 years old. Up until my injury I worked full time while going to school. I have my husband and 2 little boys. I was completely strong and healthy until 2 weeks ago.
These have been some of the most difficult, crazy, and scary weeks of my life. I just got out of the hospital after 2 weeks and still no real answers
Long story. Praying we will find answers along the way and maybe some TMI in here- but trying to spread awareness and see if there’s anyone else like me.
2 weeks ago I bent over the bathtub to pick up my 2 year old and felt a pop in my back went to urgent care, but symptoms got extremely weird and worse so i went to ER. At this point in ER I have loss of bladder function/bowel function, extreme back pain spasms. I’m admitted and run ALL of the tests. EVERYTHING you can think of and I do have multiple herniated discs and pinched nerve but it’s not in an area that should be causing these symptoms. Now two weeks later and worsening. Additional symptoms, weakness/numbnesss in legs and feet, tremors, shooting pains down legs and spine. My new accessories are a walker and Foley catheter
I said I am a healthy 28 year old girl – this has to be the BIGGEST coincidence of all time that the second I hurt my back everything else happened within 24 hours and somehow they believe it is unrelated. Now I will have to do everything outpatient to try to find some answers. I will see multiple specialists – more testing/procedures, USF autonomic nervous system testing AND we will find an answer!!!
All funds collected will go towards testing, medical bills, home bills/groceries.
Thanks for any help or well wishes
