Could My Multiple Injuries And An Old MRI Finding Of A Cone-shaped Anomaly In My Left Buttock Be Related To A Compounded Fixed Position And Worsening Condition?

From my 2016 MRI in my left buttock an upside down cone shaped anomaly can be seen. Know that this anomaly is a pitfall into which all surrounding tissue sinks into, daily. In 2011, an old L1 compression fracture was discovered as well as my neck being under such pressure that a C3 - C7 neck fusion surgery was needed. Yet the surgery was merely a fix of a symptoms of underlying issues. Assuming that whenever the L1 compression fracture occurred, I would have been unknowingly in a fixed position at the spinal, and muscular level. I believe the fracture occurred in 2002. An inmate and I were playing and he bodyslammed me twice on concrete. On the second slam when I got back up, I had trouble with the alignment from the hip down and was shaking from the hip down for several seconds before supposedly regaining my equilibrium. In 2003, I tripped into a pothole and twisted my left foot. At the the time, though I went to the hospital, I did not report that it felt like my foot, and ankle were slightly outside of the frame of my body because it sounded weird to me. In 2008, in a fight I tripped over a bed enclosure in a 3 man cell, landing behind first. I later noticed that my tail bone was flattened. I didn t medically report the incident or the result. In 2011, a guard twisted my arm behind my back while playing. I noticed that the portion of my left shoulder area did not realign upon being released from the hold, or ever. In 2011, I showed a cellmate a left back kick, and upon my leg coming back down the inside portion of my left buttock stayed stuck and did not realign with the rest of my left buttock. A few weeks later also in 2011, a new cell mate picked me up off of the top bunk, and I reacted defensively by choking him while still in the air. He responded by pushing outward, and I sailed across the cell landing on my left buttock, right leg crossed, and my back hitting the rim of the toilet simultaneously. Immediately thereafter when I got to the eating area as I sat down, I saw that my trunk was tilted upward to the left, and my left leg would not reach the ground as the other leg did. The next morning upon getting down from the top bunk when I went to extend my legs to come down the ladder, my left leg went into an involuntary spasm lasting several seconds, and continued to do the same for several years. This is when everything became undone for me. At the time, I had no access to anatomy literature for me to properly decipher what had medically occurred. I assumed that my left leg was to blame, and thought nothing of the trunk which contained the left hip, buttock, and left leg which were all affected. Medical attention at that time was limited and yielded no explanation. I was simply given a mandatory bottom bunk, and ibuprofen. In my frustration, I began to do things that made matters far worse. First, in blaming my leg as the issue, I tried tying a bedsheet to my leg, and anchoring it to the bed ladder. I then yanked continuously in an effort to bring my leg downward. The end result was my femur itself came out of socket and the entire leg feeling like a stick. Within days, in my frustration, I planted my leg between the cell table, and attached seat. I wrenched body leftward repeatedly, resulting in the feeling of my foot and ankle permanently outside of my natural body frame. This was similar to 2003, but more severe. A few months later a cell mate noticed that my left shoulder appeared lower than the right. I came up with the idea to turn my neck leftward, and forcefully thrust my left shoulder upwards, simultaneously. It seemed to relieve the problem temporarily. Continued usage of the same, eventually resulted a portion of tissue in my neck clipping onto my left clavicle and my left arm spinning leftward in it s socket, and stuck in the position permanently. As the left portion of my upper back began to have issue, I began to do the same method with the right shoulder while having my neck turned rightward. I also tried thrusting both shoulders upwards for several months. In hindsight, I inadvertently created the conditions leading to the need for the neck fusion surgery. At the end of 2012, I became bewildered and frustrated with the left femur which was out of it s socket. I had previous managed it by leaning the femur inwards toward my sciatic nerve, and turning my left leg inwards, lifting it slightly, and turning it rightward, repeatedly for several months. Eventually, in my frustration after using the same method, I  lied straight, with my knees up. I then turned my hips rightward, while forcefully thrusting my upper left leg repeatedly. The end result was my femur lodged into an area within my left buttock, and remained permanently. The next morning I could not sit up without forcing my torso upright. This caused the tearing of something which sounded like the sound of ripping buttons on a shirt. I presently presume it was cartilage at the time. This until present has remained a pitfall for all surrounding tissue. Eventually the symptom of being able to explicitly feel the thorny feelings of my nerves in my neck, shoulders, back, left leg, left foot, groin, and anal area became incessant. The overlapping symptom of warm, and slushy tissue began to emanate from my left buttock, and leg region, eventually encompassing my entire body. From 2012 - 2016, I managed the symptoms by remaining still as possible, and thrusting at first my left leg downwards.  Later I began to  do the same with my buttocks, and different areas of my back. Eventually in 2016, I managed to make the area of my buttocks tight enough to subside the emanating, slushy symptoms. I had a period of functionality which lasted until 2019. In July of 2019, the slushy symptom became watery emanating from the region of my buttocks until it encompassed my entire body. I tried managing it the same as before. Though this time I focused on the leftmost region of my left buttock and began to push at one point of tissue for weeks. Eventually this one strand of tissue descended farther into the are of left buttock, down my leg, and into my foot area, looping around the lodged left femur as it went. I countered by getting up repeatedly, and lying on my left side which by that time increased the rate of the pitfall of tissue surrounding my left buttock. Once I got it to stop. The rate of tissue falling into the left buttock area was greatly exaggerated. I eventually felt the inside right nerve and tissue of my left buttock fall into the area. It was later overlapped by the same with the left portion of my left buttock. I managed the condition again by mostly remaining still, and having to wait for my body to shut down from exhaustion, and not being able to sleep at will. I occasionally flexed my different portions of my back, and buttocks periodically, though mostly the left buttock, knowing by then it was the point of origin from the 2012 incident. I also would lay on my left side to well up tissue to stop the watery sensation, and other symptoms temporarily. In 2020, I managed to well up the watery sensation again, to force myself to function, until functionality was achieved. This worked up until September 2021, and I am again within this torment. In hindsight I know the following: 1. My upper and lower half were forced into a fixed position in 2002. 2. Any subsequent injuries suffered while in the fixed position couldn t be truly relieved without fixing the original L1 area. 3. In 2008 a sacral issue began with the fall I took in the fight. 4. I now had a compounded fixed position. 5. The incidents of 2011 had my trunk and surrounding regions ensnared. 6. Everything I did made matters worse, and compressed tissue over top of an already compounded fixed position. 7. What I did with my femur is the cause of the worst of issues and loss of functionality. 8. I presume the only way to get back to how 2011 s disposition is most like to shatter the the femur itself to eliminate the snare. I would probably have to have the femur replaced once all the ensnared tissue returns to its natural place.                                                               Sincerely,                                                                          Walter Dobbins IV
