Help Taylor Get Life Changing Surgery
Donation protected
In February of 2015 I woke up with numbness in my legs, tailbone, and feet. Soon that numbess turned into a shooting pain. It’s been 4 years and it’s only gotten worse. I have not sat down, tied my own shoes, or bent down in 2 years. I have not been able to get into my own bathtub without help for 2 years. I cannot get in and out of bed without help. I cannot ride in an airplane, a bike, or drive a car. I cannot wash my own clothes or dishes alone. I cannot exercise or run. I cannot dance. I cannot enjoy rides at theme parks or go to the movies. I cannot attempt to live the life of a normal 21 year old without immeasurable amounts of pain.
This is the result of Pudendal Neuralgia. It is defined as a long-term pelvic pain that originates from damage or irritation of the Pudendal nerve. The treatment is, at best, scarce in availability. Despite having health insurance, typical medical costs for treatment are above $10,000 being that this is rare and incurable. I am always feeling some level of pain. Every day I am exhausted.
Over the past few years, I have seen countless doctors who have done countless tests. The treatments they have given me have not worked and the final option is Pudendal Nerve Decompression surgery. This surgery is the only possible way I will live a normal life. I am scared but I want to live, I want to be happy. Please help me afford this life changing surgery. Thank you all so much.
