i fell on my back in august last year 2013, my back had hit the bottom of a steel door going on a wet veranda... there was a good 6 inches of metal steal, and a drop of 5 inches goind on the main patio. i weight 135 pounds and i just hit my back , i dont even thing i was able to try to put my hands to protect me from the fall... i went to the doctor the next day, as i was so much in pain , my lower back was blue from the left side to half my spin. i could not even get up from my bed , i could not even give me the strenght to push my head up to lift and sit in the bed... i was just rolling ever morning on the floor and just start one leg and an other one and just standing like a dog position after half an hour i would manage to get up with the help of someone.. on the spot when i felt, the pain just was sharp, so sharp , and even if the echemose was on the left side the next day, on the day i fell, i felt in my right leg that everthing even my toes were numb... i manage to get up, finish my work for 5 hrs, and in an hour after there was a lump at least big as an small orange that had started to pop up in my back... my leg seams ok, but couldnt walked mornmaly, or turn my neck to look around , i knew i had really hurt myself badly.... but i had one thing in mind , i could not leave my shift we were so short and i would go home right away and tomorrow i would be find ( but i was wrong)... my husband brought me to outpatient that morning, i was so much in pain , specially when i had to sit in the car or get out of it..... my leg the right on was just like if it was to weak , and i had to lift it out of the car and then walking on it was ok i would say... at emerge no test , x ray nothing was done, i was only asked how long i wanted to be off for.... I DIDNT NOT WANT TIME OFF, I WANTED TO KNOW WHEN AND WHAT I HAD MADE TO MYSELF..) so been polite and not wanted to look like if i was a smart ass, i asked him if he could at least give me time so i could see my family doctor ... i saw her the week after, ..... she put me off on the spot and after 1 month i started physio, kind of soomtly, i mean 3 times a week, with a tends machine and back rub and of course heat.... then after an other month i was changed at an other clinic, and there, i was been pulled by my knees with a belt, and for 1 minutes once an a while i would have head tension... and i had that for 3 weeks , then i started the exercise at the gym... it was , lifting from a stool, 10 pound i think and put it on a shelf, 5 times in a row, walking on the mill at first 2 and 5 and by week 2 i was up to 10 minute at a rate of i think of 18 miles a hours orklm... dont remember, then i would pull weiht while sitting down, 3 pounds, and then pull and pull back like a box that i called the lawn mower. in it i was puting at the end 10 pounds ... i found this was hard at first and it always been.... and yes i would shift with the help of a person a sheet on a bed with at the end 59 pounds , i did that 3 times in a row... then i would go home , not able to drive my car stander, and sitting in my car was always painful like at first even worst/// so since my strenght was not going fast enough, specially on my last evaluation, when even on hitting on my right knee with a hammer like, it was not even responding .... that morning i was there because my husband forced me to made them see how in pain everymorning was like that for me since my accident.... i had received from that center to show up and do my thing during the day went i was up for a few hours because they knew i had tell them how badly my getting up pain was sharp and that i needed a few hours to start my body to move functionnally.... I DID NOT WANT NOBODY TO SEE ME IN A HANDICAP SITUATION LIKE THAT ... I KNEW I WOULD SOME DAY IMPROVE AND I WILL START TO BE IN SHAPE AGAIN..... BUT I AM NOT THERE BELIEVE ME.... SO AFTER 2 MONTHS THERE , THEY SENT TO A BIGGER CENTER, 5 DAYS A WEEK, FROM 8H30 TO 4 PM.... I WAS DRIVING MY STANDER CAR UP AND DOWN ONCE A WEEK... I WAS BEGINNING TO BE ABLE TO TAKE MORE PAIN, I WAS ON PERCOCET 4 TIMES A DAY, SO 8 PILLS A DAY.... MY STAY AT THE CENTER WAS FOR ME THE ONLY HOPE , they did good things for me , they were a good team, they made me take pain management courses , relaxing session, a lot of exercise to build my strenght, and a lot of ot stuff, stimulation of my work... i work in a foster home , i am working hard, walking a lot, and lifting a lot of resident, really heavy but with no equipment as lift etc..... lot are in wheel chairs, but they are listed as resident needing minimum care... but with time some had some strokes, they are getting older, so even if they are loosing this it is getting more andmore harder to handel... SHORTAGE OF STAFF, IS A BIG PROBLEM, AND ASKING FOR HELP TO OTHER STAFF IS REALLY HARD SINCE THEY ARE FULL HANDED THEM TOO...... so anyway staying down in that rehab center for 2 months, did a lot for me, i started to built my strenght , like my lifting.... so i started with 2 pounds put in a box and walking with it, or putting weigt on a long stick and walk a distance with it, and gradually as they were asking more and more every week on weight amound, i was putting not sure here at least 40 pounds in a milk box and walk with it a certain distance... trying to follow there higher and higher expectation was not always easy... but i wanted to get better and i gave them my full trust..... but to put that weight in those boxes started to be painful on my right hands, because i was never using my left one because my accident had left that hand with numb fingers all the time.. i was pulling on a steel weight of 10 pounds with my right hand but i started to fell to much pain pullig that weight a lot of time every day, and i notice a was starting to have a lump on the inside of my wrist and it was getting biigger and bigger, specially after a lot of exercises.... then to ease the pain i would put in those boxes a 2.5 lbs disk at a time , so it gave a brake to my rist... well my hand is still the same, my thumb is the part on the hand that the pain is sharper in, i fell alot of numbness in my hand, i drop a lot of what i hold in that hand on a regular basic, and sometimes the pain even reach my elbow... PLEASE NOTE THAT 25 YEARS AGO,, I HAD A SURGERY IN THAT HAND, FOR TUNNEL CARPIEN, I WAS PREGNANT AT THE TIME, AND THAT ALL THOSE YEARS I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THE OPERATON ON MY HAND WAS A REAL SUCESS.... NEVER FELT ANY PAIN OR NUMbNESS AGAIN IN THAT HAND, I WAS SEWING, EVERYTHING , THEY HAD GIVE ME A NEW HAND...but right now there is a lump of at least 2cm by 2cm 1cm hight on my right wrist just on the outside of the back part of it.. it pass ontop of a big veine, and it dont go away anymore... what cause that, what is it, and is the weight too heavy on that wrist could have provocque that? it is painful specially if i have to work a full day what should i do, what is it , should i have it remove and what started that?
