Excruciating, go to the hospital level pain. Too bad they won't do a damn thing the second you mention you have chronic pain.

I could really go for a weekend-long coma right now.

Plantar fascitis flare up yaaay.

(anyways this really really doesn't help the fact that I'm behind in my electric bill so can't afford to get the rest I need to heal, so if you wanna help my pp is [email protected] and im $11/$150)

Still true, unfortunately.

(And Rebalance is a joke. I've never seen so many orthopaedic surgeons not willing to operate or prescribe decent pain meds.)

When I was kid these grown ups would say "wait till you get old" or "you're too young to complain or have pain" when I'd be in pain or sittingwith my dad instead of running around at some cultural festival or at the market.

My dad would say, "He was born 2 months early. He has a lotta pain."

These flotsam humans were only annoyed that they couldn't use their platitudes and clichés on me that they learned from the previous generations.

Even adults look down on kids when they're not the baseline of the general idea of what a child should be like.

But just as a kid to feel grown up authoritative eyes judging you for your pain or ability to do stuff. It's weird.

My parents never were like that. Not that I recall. They just let me do my thing playing outside or whatever until I felt like I needed to take a break. Or if they called me in for meals. If I had really bad knee pains I just stayed in and they gave me Tylenol and I watched TV, curled up on the couch while my mom or dad rubbed my painful legs. I mean what else is there? 😅

11th May 22

Called off my shift yesterday cause of the pain my legs are causing me. I could barely walk and pain pills didn't do shit for me.

I'm not much better today. I don't want to call off a second day in a row. Especially when everyone is trying so hard to get ready for Inventory this weekend.

This is getting too painful to deal with

Them: tell me your fantasy

Me: so I wake up on Monday in pain and instead of going to work and googling my symptoms in am attempt to convince myself it's not a big deal, I actually go to the doctor and they actually believe me and treat me like my issues are legitimate and run tests and ask follow up questions in an attempt to provide me immediate comfort AND a permanent solution. At no point is it suggested that the issue is just in my head.

Them: I... I meant sexually but. Are you okay?

Me: nope. But Google says it's probably just gas so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Today is a bad day for me, my chronic pain is off the charts ridiculous. It woke me up during the night. All of my joints seem to hurt. My hands, wrists, elbows, shoulder, hips, knees. I want to just crawl into a hole. My shoulder hurts so much I can barely drink my coffee or pet my cat. I haven’t had pain like this in so long. I feel so terrible, I’m 21 and have the joints of an 85 year old. This is so hard for me to deal with. 😔😭
