It’s becoming increasingly hard for myself and my family to survive in this economy. Myself and my family are teetering in the edge. I hope there’s some relief soon. I lost my job back in 2021 and went I to business for myself. 5 years ago under Trump’s economy I think I could survive and grow without a problem. Now… a trip to the grocery store costs $500 and running up cards left and right because our two incomes combined still isn’t enough. That doesn’t even touch on all the other things like our healthcare going up etc. 3 kids… I am praying people will make their moves soon to take this thing back and get it under control. I don’t know how much time I have left. I wish there was a relief opportunity for those of us who know and trust the plan to get by until it’s fixed. LoL
It’s becoming next to impossible for myself and my family to survive.

You can diagnose tissue damage and ligament damage by ruling out a broken bone. It may not be the most comfortable diagnosis (they will probably need to touch to verify location) but you can x ray to check for a break then move from there. An MRI is just expensive for that kind of thing.
I get it though, I was scared of not walking again. Still not the same either yet.
So, a broken bone can take up to something like 9 years for the healing process to be complete (bone is formed in 6-12 weeks usually, but shaping can last years and the pain can accompany it).
From what I understand about things like soft tissue damage and ligament damage, they never really fully heal.
For an example, and this is one I know personally, if you suffer soft tissue damage that stretches your tendons out (so, by rolling an ankle) you can't really "unstretch" that tendon. That ankle will ALWAYS be more prone to reinjury, so while the tendon itself may heal, you will still suffer pain and discomfort unless you strengthen the supporting muscles to keep it straight.
So, yes, injuries can take a long time to heal. Usually it's recommended to do therapy as soon as possible, because it keeps your mobility and muscles strong and keeps the blood flowing to the affected areas.
I'm sorry your doctors failed, fren. I hate emergency rooms. They seem like profit margins are sky high by design.
He's the doctor guise get him!
Jk
Lol, well Ive been educated today without being explicitly insulted!
Thank you for taking your time to share your perspective. Really really appreciate it.
I wish I knew this 10 years ago 😭 lol I was just happy to walk without pain. But it's insane how much it healed the past year and and a half. And the biggest change was walking ~6hrs a day at work. My phone would tell me it was my most walked day of my life all the time lol 😂
The shame... good thing this is an anonymous board 😏.
