About The Bump

The chronic pain in my back has degenerated to a point that I now need to bend my knees to spit out my toothpaste into the sink when I brush my teeth.

Yes, I've seen a doctor about this. I've seen tons of bloody doctors... I've had 2 x-rays done... *mimics doctors* "No, April, there's absolutely nothing wrong with your spine... It shouldn't hurt as badly as you claim it does..." (Well it does you fuckwits!)

I've also paid a visit to traditional Chinese sinsehs, which were a total waste of time and money. The last 1 I went to put me under a hot lamp for 5 minutes, cracked my back once, wrapped me in some smelly bandage and sent me off home... (Not without a fee of $22, mind you!) He didn't even ask for my back problem history, I was in and out of his smelly little "clinic" within 10 minutes. Bloodsucking bastard.

If I'm hobbling around in pain at the age of 27, I can only imagine what I'll be like at the ripe ol' age of 40... Probably resemble something like this...

Good ol' Quasimodo.

Fuck.

Anon - Not too sure I want to visit another sinseh, especially if it involves him / her sticking needles into my flesh. Appreciate the suggestion though. :)
