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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

FYL, but at the same time I agree with your dad. You really should suck it up, I got injured on a camping trip and went 2 weeks with 4 broken ribs so I would ruin the trip for the other people.

OP is in a ****ing neck brace and you agree with his dad? You really are pushing the limits of stupidity my friend.

You're a moron. There's a world of difference between broken ribs and spine injuries.

Hahaha same thing happened to me. I stubbed my toe once and couldn't walk and my mom told me it was just jammed, so she had my dad pull on it to "un-jam" it. When that didn't work, the X-ray I convinced them to let me get showed 5 breaks, and a split joint. Go parents.

Geez, OP, that does suck O.o I hope you recover swiftly and with no permanent damage, and I hope your dad gets a similar neck injury from an unexplainable flying tuna smacking him in the head at 40 KPH.

I cannot guess which hurts more, what you're going through physically or your father's cruel attitude toward your pain. I hope you're of an age where you don't have much more time left in his household. I also hope if your father is injured or ill before you get out of there, you tell him, "Suck it up" and completely ignore any need for care that he might have.

I was told to suck it up for three years, then I went to a doctor, had to get my shoulder socket replaced, and fixed cause carrying a child will rip the surgery apart. all cause my dad whipped me around into things then told me I can't see a doctor. parents are so fun.

Tell your father to "suck it up, princess" when your medical bills start rolling in, particularly in the future. Because these type of injuries never quite go away completely.
