Intro to my world

[oopsieboo]

i posted this in a journal yesterday and came back with one comment, he suggested i find a community with simular issues, because i couldnt find one spfically for me *(there are a lot of little problems) i thought this one fitted the profile good enough.

hi, i was with another health website, but for some reason my account was made dormant and i had to go message the site admin but i couoldnt be bothered and i couldnt ask questions and get a decent answer. i found this site and so far im happy with what i have found. very helpful step by step guide.
being only 19 years old it worries me that i have had so many health problems. i was born with collapsed lungs and a broken clavical (spelling?) when i was little i had a healthy appetite, always munching on something (an apple or a piece of bread) when i started school i wasnt allowed to eat snacks when i wanted so i stopped snacking all together. by primary school i was worried about 'puppy fat' cos i was nearing secondary school and still felt roundin the middle. i went through a lot of issues in secondary school, i had friends in a different class and asked to move so i could be in the same class, as soon as i was moved my friend turned their back on me and the students from my previous class called me a traitor.
during the winter my knees would ache so very much and would constantly click all year round, i went to physiotherapy and doctors, but they only scared me by saying that i could have bone cancer. the physiotherapist didnt seem to help much and told me my only future i had was to be in a wheelchair. i got very worried and started forcing myself to do more and ignored all my aches and pains. in my final year of secondary school i was kicked down the stairs by another student and had whiplash, this of course didnt help my condition and made my back start to hurt as well as my knees.
first year of college i was going in and out of hospital doctor and physiothherapy appointments so i rarely knew what was going on in lessons, not surprisingly i failed the first year. i moved to another college and the same thing happened, but the end of this year i discovered i have dyspraxia, which explained a lot and i took help fromthe college. i failed that first year again. with all the stress and constant failure i stopped eating regulary and started getting chest pains, i went to doctors they sentme to A&E and i had numerous tests on my heart lungs etc etc they couldnt find anything wrong at all. my chiropractor told me that my ribcage was twisting round because of my bad knee and because my knees were bad my ankles were out of line making them hurt as well as my ankles my hips were out of line making my lower back hurt and with the whiplash not completely healed everything started to hurt and go really wrong, i had been on 12 painkillers a day for nearly 3 years.
Finally with support from my dyspraxia teacher and a whole load of painkillers i passed the first year 3rd time, now i am in my second year and not struggling as much, but still a struggle nonetheless.
my mother realised that the chiropractors were only helping me twice for 2 maybe 3 months at a time and were starting to get expensive. a friend of my mother suggested i tried an osteopathic remedial she knows from a family friend and was highly reccomended. a little bit more expensive but only 3 or 4 sessions to start with then 2 sessions a year after that. this man helped a lot, but i feel that he kinda makes stuff up just to click my spine and neck and get paid (a bit skeptical)

recently my hip had started to hurt and i am wondering which way to go.
take painkillers and ignore it
go to my chiropractor
go to my osteopathic remedial
go to my GP
go to hospital
i'm not particulary keen on any of these options so i came to the all knowing internet to see if i can help myself before having to give up and admit defeat.
SO MY QUESTION HERE IS WHAT DO YOU THINK I SHOULD DO?





(recently i took some online test that said i was depressed with a poor diet and low self-esteem. i realise that i can't believe everything on the internet so i'm only going to know this information but not neccesarily believe it)
DOES ANYONE ELSE BELIEVE WHAT THEY READ ON THE INTERNET?

i don't remember having an MRI of my spine. but i've had so many tests and scans even ECGs. if my hip gets worse i don't know what to do next but whatever does happen (depending on how bad it gets) i'll suggest an MRI of my spine. cos doctors don't know anything all they can say is what is not wrong with you.

i was watching something on t.v. the other day and they said that some tribes in parts of the world pay their doctors only when they are well. so they paying for good health something they want instead of paying for injuries and illness which is something they don't want. i think that is a funny but interesting way of doing things.
