I made this post so people don’t make the same mistake. Take care of yourself, but especially your ears. I’ve dealt with many injuries, illnesses, any kind of problem really. In and out of my body, but this? This is breaking me. The tinnitus forum didn’t let me post this so hopefully this one does, I just want people to be aware of this. No one has to go through this if avoidable.
Hello I just turned 19 in 24th of March, in February 1st I was training for boxing and something started to hurt in my chest. It then became numb and spread around my body, then headaches, then other weird things I can’t explain in the span of 3 weeks. It was getting better and the doctor said the pinched nerve wasn’t too bad so I could workout a little bit on and off. So I did. It then got worse and when it got worse it made my tinnitus worse, I had it since around age 12. Never too bad though, I even forgot about it to be honest. Now it’s all I think about.
I am very competitive and even after it got loud I was like “this aint s\*\*\* to me I can’t let this hold me back” blah blah blah.. trained even after I made it worse, last time I worked out. Now it’s loud, got quieter 2 weeks ago but still spikes sometimes. Now I messed up my sleep schedule and its night time where it gets lonely and quiet, which makes this noise my only company, it’s just hard man. Please pray for me this can get worse, probably won’t as I’m doing things right now but it is just so scary man. I’m going to some doctors to get help and checked out soon but still am nervous, my parents don’t seem to care so much, all I wanted to do was box to give back to them. Now I can’t box or work a simple job. I am thankful though, since it could be worse and it should be worse for my crazy foolish
and ego filled mistakes.
* Something I wana add to this, live your life man, you don’t even know how good you have it till it gets worse. Just enjoy it.
