Dd #2 called yesterday. About 7 months ago, she was stopped at a stop sign, and someone plowed into her, totaling her car, and causing her back to hurt. She went to a local back doctor. He told her she was leaking spinal fluid, and it would heal. A few weeks later, when she went in for her checkup, he told her it had stopped leaking spinal fluid, and was good. She complained it was still hurting, so he sent her to a chiropractor.
Going to the chiropractor had brought no relief from the pain.

She went to a highly rated neurosurgeon. Friday, she went for her follow up visit. She has a big herniated disc at the top of her spine, dead center, which is causing her to leak spinal fluid. She has a slipped vertebrae on her spinal cord, dead center, too. He does not understand why she is not already paralyzed on her right side, able to walk, and not screaming in pain. He wants to do ACDF surgery ASAP. She called her lawyer, and he spoke to her doctor. He's (lawyer) now busy notifying the insurance company, and getting it all approved.

On a brighter note, my mechanic called, and my truck is totally fixed.

OMG! @getaclue, that is totally horrible. I feel so bad for your daughter. She's lived with this pain for 7 months? Whow. Is all I can say, just WHOW! Her guardian angel has been working overtime keeping an eye on her. Prayers sent that she has an easy surgery and a fast recovery.
