SLIP DISC STRUGGLES




Okay, lama sangat dah blog ni bersawang. tak d lah pandai sangat nak menulis, ayat best2.. more of to share my story and experience of my own life and also the perspective of certain things. no obligation to read pown. but since you dah buka pown... take some time to create more awareness kowt lah ada akak adik or even our mom who can happen to have this, i mean not being bias but since im a girl so i write on a girls perspective lah ek.

Back in 2013 if tak silap, i was said to kena SLIP DISC. mula tu tak tahu pown apa mende tu kan? slalu org akan tanya cam mana boleh kena? The weird thing is i pown tak tahu cam mana i boleh kena. basically all i remember, masa tu baru je balik dr airport sending my mom ke my lil bro balik MALAYSIA. so i was all alone lah kiranya masa tu. elok sampai je umah, keluar kereta ttbe rasa macam sakit pinggang. Ingat a normal sakit pinggang sebab penat ke or nak period ke (my sis gtau kalau tak ckup air time dtg bulan boleh sakit pinggang jugak) so pikir2 okay lah lets just rest couple of days may b akan ok. so masuk hari ke 3 rasa it is getting worst sampai nak bangun pown susah. Jangan kira lah brape kali nanges sebab sorang2 and tak leh nak bangun sebab nak pusing pown mcm ada cucuk kat ur nerve tu so u cant really turn or anything. 

Pastu pikir ni tak boleh jadi nie kena jugak pergi doc, cannot wait anymore. Orang mesti ckp patut masa rasa dah pergi doc. hurm... why i tak gi sbb tak pernah tau pown kewujudan slip disc nie. so benda dah jadi kan... so slowly i drive myself to pegi jumpa doc. i can still imagine masa nak jalan dari parking ke medical centre tu... i swear people, i walk like a nenek kebayan terkedek2 sebab i cant freaking walk normal. rasa kalau nak tegak badan pown tulang tu mcm akan snap and patah. so membongkok and walk so slow. yes no jokes. tgh jalan pown i nanges tapi tQ to my sunnies ahahhaaa.. and pretend main phone lah tgh text ke apa sebab kena tunduk je.. i understand now how nenek2 atok2 yg jalan bongkok slow tu. u have no idea what they feel. so jangan lah nak marah ek kalau org macam ni jalan depan korunk.

so sampai2 doc, masuk bilik doc, dah gtau and dah d check. doc tanya how did u come here? dgn rilex ckp i drive myself. skali kena marah. sbb doc ckp dangerous. sebab if anything happen i cant easily auto react. so he asked me to call someone else to pick me up and stay with the person. and on d dot kena g buat MRI scan to check my back bone petang tu jugak. Alhamdulillah, Aunty Nani and Azyura was around to help me. so i stayed at their house since my family in Malaysia. 

so start from that day

1. no more HIGH HEELS luckily i can still wear BOOTS but no HEELS

2. no more carry HEAVY BAGS not even groceries bag (POTATOES 5 kg, BERAS ke, minyak masak besar2) senang cite anything heavy cannot carry sbb kan sakit balik. macam mengada kan?
3. no more HARD WORK. jgn buat kije yg renyah kan badan. (dulu kije part time laju je angkat this and that movement tu mcm zap sana zap sini) ahhahahaa... now no more working long hours. actually stop working that

4. no more LONG HOURS DRIVING. sebab kalau duduk lama i tend to get restless satu badan. (mesti wonder mcm mana fly msia sydney 8 jam? ... haaa pakai backsupport and also tampal alaaa koyok and keep deep heat cream in my bag so boleh kerap sapu and rajin jalan dalam flight. kalau nak road trip pown kena byk berhenti to stretch ur body.

5. nak jalan2 banyak pown mcm susah (i can do it if i wear my BACK support) so baru ok. itu pown balik kena keep sapu deep heat. 




the best way to make it okay would  be

1. SWIM back stroke .. sbb dgn swim je dlm air dia boleh tampung our body weight so we can stretch our muscle.

2. YOGA but not all pose yg boleh. ada some pose for slip disc which can and do help. 

3. MOVE.never baring je atas katil... sebab that would make it worst actually. i mean time sakit u rest but keep moving around the house and do house chores mcm biasa. but avoid anything yg kena tunduk2. lepas buat something REST. jgn nak push diri sgt. nnt dah sakit lagi susah. 

4. NO SIT UP. utk yg nak excercise or like me konon nak buat sit up tu  jgn nak berangan sgt lah ek... mau crack ur back. i mean boleh lah kowt buat sikit2 tapi alas kan something soft lah kowt. i do that 

5. GYM MAY BE. yang nak masuk gym plak... hurm they said dont sebab bukan boleh nak angkat benda berat or anything kan.. but ada je benda lain yg we can do lagi2 get coach ke advice before you do anything. 

6. HARD BED. sleep kat permukaan keras. it helps mula2 tak selesa but lama2 okay je. if katil tu lembut2 lupakanlah. tdo lantai will make u feel a lot better. 


The struggles and the pain is real. like sakit dia tu belah dalam. Sometimes when ur body renyah or penat u just cant do anything to heal it quickly. Malam2 kadang2 nak tdo bila blakang tu sakit.. ya Allah, u cant even sleep. sapu minyak urut2 pown cannot jalan. my usuals kalau jadi mmg tido bila dah penat nanges or ttdo dgn sendiri. tapi mmg sapu deep heat, buat yoga2 pose utk stretch the muscle and pusing sana pusing sini... people may be akan rasa mengada but until u feel our pain pls lah help us and understand us. bukan nak mengada2 or anything. to guys be more aware and jgn lah nak cakap pompuan nie mengada lah what not.. Laki pown boleh kena slip disc nie. 

SLIP DISC or known as LOWER BACK PAIN usually bila disc between L4 and L5 tu terkeluar.


nampak tak dia cucuk nerve tu... haaa kadang kaki rasa kebas or kat pinggang tu rasa mcm something tak click tulang mcm lari. mcm tu lah rasa... tapi boleh je okay.. just avoid benda2 yg kat atas tu. im not an expert but so far tu lah experience i had. to ladies mmg org akan pikir mcm mana kalau pregnant and all? well itulah kuasa ALLAH bagi kepada seorang ibu. i know someone who had this and now dah anak 2 pown. it is wonders. but at times mmg akan ada time bila anak dah makin besar she cant carry her kids as much but just to have kids is more than enough thats where husband plays important role. so this is me sharing my own experience. If u have any other ways to make it better or even tips to share please comment. would be much appreciated.
