Spinal Cord Injury

Hello everyone my name is Rog and I've been diagnosed for 2 years with a spinal cord injury my cervix spine and basically I'm having a lot of more medical issues that have arose from the spinal cord injury. And I guess like everyone else I'm having financial trouble trying to get through my disability claim that I've been knocking at neck and neck going back and forth to the doctors test after test and month after month I get worse and worse and my quality of life it's horrible. Can't hold a job because of my disability. And of course my oldest children and my parents don't understand what it feels like. Is created so much anxiety in my life and I'm not one who believes in medicating myself by medicines and prescriptions the doctors tell me and they have worse effects on my health. Don't know how else to reach out but I'm having a lot of problems in my life and it hurts 42 years old and cannot take care of myself well anymore.

I had surgery on my back I had an EMG recently failed with flying colors the new doctor said I have nerve damage in my back and legs why am I not surprised?
