Today, I went to my doctor to get my x-ray results. Turns out, I have a fractured spine and a chip of my spine has moved. Now I'm in a neck brace because my dad didn't think it was serious, and told me to "suck it up princess." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my parents brought me to the doctor because I was "faking" a headache. One thing led to another, and it turns out I have a tumor pressing against my spine. FML
Today, I finally sorted out my health insurance and went to the doctor. After seeing my X-rays and confirming I still had scoliosis, he also confirmed arthritis in both hips, 2 exploded discs and that I have "the back of a 50 year-old." I'm 24. FML
Today, I went to see the doctor for my daughter and myself. I fell two weeks ago, I thought I'd sprained my ankle but apparently I broke my leg instead. I’ve been limping around for two weeks. My daughter was sick, which is the only reason I got X-rayed. It may need screws. FML
Today, I fractured a bone in my knee. Now not only do I have to wear a huge knee brace for the next two months, I'll have to sit around in a hotel room all of next week while my family has fun skiing in the mountains. FML
Today, after slipping on my stairs and spraining my ankle, I got a brace and crutches at urgent care. When I went to get into my car, my crutch slipped on some paper and I fell. I crawled back into urgent care, only to learn that my sprained ankle is now broken in 2 places. FML
Today, I slipped and fell on a piece of plastic. I thought nothing of it until I went to the doctor's and found out that I fractured and dislocated my kneecap. I'm now in a full leg brace and crutches. Prom is five days away. FML
Today, I discovered that the pain I've had for the past couple of weeks was actually due to a broken collar bone. Now work won't pay for the treatment I need because I continued to work despite the pain. FML
Today, my dad got drunk and played a practical joke on me; a practical joke that resulted in my knee being broken. Now, I'm sitting in a hospital bed all alone while my dad hunts for "hot nurses". FML
Today, I told my family how my wrist has been hurting for almost a week. My aunt’s chiropractor boyfriend then decided he could help by suddenly pulling my hand as hard as he could. Not only did my wrist pop and cause me more pain, but my shoulder got dislocated. FML
Today, my parents told me that I'm going on our upcoming family vacation and that's final. I broke both my legs in an accident and have to use a wheelchair. I"m in constant pain and don't want to go anywhere. FML

Worst injuries are the ones that happen to the back. You will probably live in pain when you get older. This is a true FML.

Why do parents always assume when their child is complaining of pain (constantly most likely in this sort of case) that they think they're full of total bullshit? Do they really want to cripple their kids?

I had the same thing happen to me. Two years away from my horses? Not fun. But hey, at least when it's all over, your spine will be okay.

i dont think you would be taking the time, while youre most likely put on heavy pain meds, to post that on here. you would probly be sleeping...

um trust me, i had a bad back injury two years ago, and though you're in pain, you can only do so much laying in bed and sleeping. even getting onto the computer was a relief from laying in bed and watching television. you need some kind of change. op: i know your pain, hope you get better soon!

Speaking as someone on heavy pain meds, the internet is one of the few things people on those sort of drugs are able to do. You have tv, movies, reading, and the net. S'about it, unless you have coloring books.

lol something like this happened to me. I had a pain in my ribcage and thought i was badly hurt my brother told me to stop being a pussy and that im just trying to get attention (he was drunk he normaly dosent say things like that) and i got x-rays in the morning and i broke my rib. unfortuantly theres not much you can do for a broken rib exept suck it up

i broke my wrist in 2 places when i was in the 7th grade. my parents kept telling me to stop complainging it would feel better soon. a week later they finally broke down and took me to get x-rays. the dr said it was almost to the point of needing to be broken again because it took too long to put a cast on.

I've been there. I was hit by a car and shattered my leg. After surgery the doctor wanted to discharge me, but I was having severe back pain. He told me it was just from lying in bed. After a week he CT'd it, and told me I'd broken three bones in my back. Broken back bones suck major ass, just so everyone knows.

But hey, look at it this way. There could have been worse situations for him to say "suck it up princess"

it is endangering your life. if the doc days you have to do something then you have to do it. I would report your parents if I were you.

Since he did get medical care, I don't think there is anything that Child Protective Services could actually do about it. (I frequently report in juvenile and family courtrooms.) Still, I think you have a good grasp of the seriousness of this situation, and yes, I do wonder what else this sadistic parent might be doing that CPS would in fact have to do something about.
