I called my parents in tears and they came and picked me up and brought me to the emergency room. Once I was there, admitted me into the hospital and began doing many tests. I could not walk or move in bed without screaming in agony. The doctors could not find out what was wrong with me, and thought I was being dramatic for attention. After a two hour MRI, they figured out I had osteomyelitis of the right sacroiliac joint. In total I spent a week in the hospital. I was given antibiotics through a picc line for a month and had to carry my pump and my bag of medicine around school. I never knew something could hurt that bad, and that I could be sent to tears by someone moving me or touching me. The whole experience is very upsetting, and I have many anxieties about getting medical treatment. I will always appreciate health and the ability to walk without pain after this
