[Diary of a Female Surgery Resident @drhephzibah1]

Around this time last year, I was trying to lift baby Michelle when my back snapped.

I had a sharp, unforgettable pain that day.

It got better, and I thought I was fine, but then I had the brilliant idea to travel by road to Abuja a few months later.

I can assure you that that was a grave mistake. 9 hours, cramped in the back seat of a Sienna.

The pain came back worse.

MRI confirmed it to be a prolapsed intervertebral disc.

That was also the day I was reminded that doctors don't have money. 😄(Gist for another day)

I was placed on analgesics and muscle relaxants immediately.

Strict bed rest.

The thing that broke my heart the most was that I had to stop breastfeeding almost immediately.

Just like that.

I'm a doctor.

I know the textbook meaning of neuropathic pain, but lying in bed, with pain shooting through my back, I understood it differently.

It exhausts you.
It disrupts your sleep.
It makes you question whether anyone actually understands what you're feeling.

Common causes include Diabetes, destroying the nerves, shingles leaving pain long after the rash is gone

A compressed or herniated disc firing pain signals that won't stop.

Chemotherapy saving your life while damaging your nervous system.

Multiple sclerosis.

Spinal cord injuries.

These are real causes, and standard painkillers usually don't even work for this type of pain.

This morning at 10 am on Zoom, Dr. Patrick Chukwuma is walking us through evidence-based strategies that actually work.
