Antiwork

I need help/advice. America’s lack of healthcare might make me homeless and I’m terrified.

I don't know where to post this so if this is completely wrong for this sub I apologize but I need help from the worker movement in general. Quick recap I'm 19 and live in Alabama I work full time for a bad wage but I don't currently have much of a choice. I don't know if it happened while at work or just my free time I've damaged my wrist and it's been damaged for 2 months since late September. Every day it hurts, I've bought some wrist braces and they help but I fear something is dangerously wrong. I work at a ice cream place and anytime I scoop or do anything I feel a harsh shiver into my spine and pain flare up in my wrist. I've looked up and wrist surgery is anywhere from 4-11k or something and I have nowhere near that money. What do…

Quick recap I'm 19 and live in Alabama I work full time for a bad wage but I don't currently have much of a choice. I don't know if it happened while at work or just my free time I've damaged my wrist and it's been damaged for 2 months since late September. Every day it hurts, I've bought some wrist braces and they help but I fear something is dangerously wrong. I work at a ice cream place and anytime I scoop or do anything I feel a harsh shiver into my spine and pain flare up in my wrist.

I've looked up and wrist surgery is anywhere from 4-11k or something and I have nowhere near that money. What do I do?? I can't afford to not work after any kind of surgery besides just the surgery itself. I have a doctor's appointment this coming Tuesday to see exactly what's wrong but I fear the worst.

I'm coming here to ask, what do I do? What advice can be given? I'm essentially just fucked because my body gave out of me and I'm guaranteed to be fucked over? Is there anything I can apply to or do to salvage my situation?

If you know any advice or have any kind of knowledge on this any help is appreciated thanks….
