When I was your age I had to walk to school in 3 feet of snow every day, uphill, both ways while holding down 2 full time jobs and still do chores around the house so quit bitching!
You'll figure it out and be just fine, we're just jabbin ya a little, it helps build character.

In the meantime while your vending machine business is still in it's infancy, you might want to go find a full-time job somewhere. I don't think your old man should pay for it for you. You're 19, you're a full-grown man, you should be handling these things on your own. Besides any rent you pay your parents or chores you do around the house is minimal compared to the costs of paying rent for your own place and your bills. So if you got fulltime work, you should be able to foot the bill for your knees on your own. without any problems.Originally Posted by doxmaster

You may be. Taking things the wrong way. I don't think we are jabbing you. You are young and in 15 years from now you will understand that you are not as smart as you think you are. We are giving some harsh reality. Many people do not think to get a job or two due to the way they were raised. I think if you go to this trainer and ask, he may come up with a way you could work it off. I love to barter

okay thread over thank you for the harsh reality I have never said that I don't need a job in this world I'm just a teenaged kid with alot of injuires and leg problems that I would like to be fixed thats all . I was taught when I was younger that I would need a job one day hell I've had quite the few jobs in the past sheetrocking, taping building things like stairways , tiling, and even basic electrical work my dad taught me some those things and I took every tech class my school had to offer I even considered going to trade school but I didn't it wasnt what I really wanted to do with my life, then about 3 years ago my body started breaking down I couldn't work for the longest period of time and I havent felt normal since I still have a desire to do better and work and yeah it would be nice to have more income to help move me along with my life but im not a bum who doesn't want to go anywhere and life . I have worked a little since then painted a few rooms for people its how I got the money for the machines I have now, so im clearly not some lazy ingrateful child who wants mommy and daddy to give him everything and no I never said that I'm smart I'm young I still have alot to learn about life .
thread over can we get this deleted I shouldn't have posted this in the 1st place

Ditto. I was thinking that would have been a great first post.
Welcome to the Good Life
Noones knockin you Dox, it's a tough love community, it's nothin personal. It's like throwin a wounded deer in to the lion's den. Ppl see vulnerability or perceived weakness n pounce. I get what you were trying to say at first, it just came across differently.
The best way to rectify this thread n "redeem" yourself is to come back n update us with what you've done to fix it.
You're young man.. take this experience n learn from it

I think the point that sounds of you are missing is He is still covered under his parents medical plan. At the most Only a copay is his parents give him the go.
Personally at this point if it was me I would forget about the parents. I would do my best to get a prescription written from octor. Then if the trainer or physical therapist is covered under the insurance plan you just go and pay the copay only.
In the meantime youtube might be a good place to look for videos on how to self help with this.
Good luck.

True^^^^ If your under their plan just pay the copay or deductible and get it done.

OP I have scoliosis. When I found out as a teen I was very upset. I looked up a special trainer that could help fix scoliosis. I never contacted him but it was on my mind. I went to a doctor about the issue. He told me I would never be able to lift weights and that I should take up swimming. I was incredibly angry. I didn't let it stop me. I have put on about 50 lbs of muscle since high school (I'm 30) and my best deadlift is 315 x 6 which while not superman is easily better than most men in the gym can perform. If you have a dream go for it. Yeah you will get some joking and tough love on this forum like has been said but people on here don't want you to fail.

You can call the insurance company and find out if that person is on their list of insured and also get a list of other physical therapist or trainers that would be.

Ok, Here is what you do. You're young, you should know a lot about computers, if you don't shame on you and start learning. Get a domain name for $3 or so a month; if you don't have this kind of cash a paper route, or recyclables will help. Then, establish an online business. Find something that people need, but is not too over done already. Like bird food for rare parrots like the Hyacinth macaw.
When you think about it, you could rented a storefront on the busiest street in the most populated city in the world, it would cost a large fortune (way more than a personal trainer) and you would still only reach a few people who need parrot food; but that would be dumb. You would never reach the millions of individuals who need special bird food, like you would for your $3 domain name and a couple bucks for hosting each month.
Then you could buy your own personal trainer for yourself, and your parents... if they got some exercise they likely would seem so dumb to you. Maybe you could even get a boat, a ninja with a shovel dik and a girl with a chastity belt. In fact you could likely buy personal trainers for all of the fat ladies in all the the baptist churches in your city.
So, don't ever forget what Dr. Seuss said:
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go....

Your already an adult, why don't you find a full time job that offers benefits and in 90 days your medical will kick in. Once it kicks in, start seeing a doc, then move along to a specialist. Nothing we can do here to persuade your parents from changing there minds. Maybe there insurance doesn't cover a specialist or maybe they feel the need to have you start acting like an adult and start working. We have no idea why they won't allow you to see a pt, obviously if it was life threatening they would do what it takes to fix your condition. Being that they see you on a regular basis and see how you function, maybe it's in there best interest (financially too) to not go that route.
