#rib pain

[im-out-of-it]

a thing that some abled people will never understand or realize is that a chronically ill or disabled person doesn’t have to do anything to be in pain. I woke up today and it feels like my ribs are being crushed and it hurts to breathe or function. all I did was wake up. maybe I ate something last night, slept wrong, or maybe it’s because I’m fucking breathing. we don’t have to do anything to bring pain. you can drink all the electrolytes, take all your meds, try to get some exercise in, try to do all you can to manage your pain and it still won’t be good enough. chronic means CHRONIC. it’s there at all times to remind you that you’ll never be pain free. chronic illnesses are a 24/7 job that never gives you even a second where you can take a deep breath. the pain never leaves your side

🪷Woof, rib pain can be tough! That’s why Lotus takes care to not bind for too long and also to wear the correct size of binder! Plenty of other things can cause rib pain or even injury, so make sure to listen to your body and give it the care it deserves.

Alt text included in the images and below, along with some more information.

ALT TEXT:

1. The image depicts a light purple character’s chest, shoulders, and arms. The character is shaded with a slightly darker purple to add a 3D effect, and they are outlined with a very dark purple. Bright, coral-pink lines highlight the rib cage of the character to showcase rib pain. Three exclamatory sparks emerge from both sides of the rib cage to emphasize the pain or discomfort.

2. The image is the same as number one, but the character is wearing a medium purple chest binder. The coral-pink lines are drawn over the binder to showcase rib pain from wearing it.

End description.

I just wanted to let you guys know that it is much easier for me to include my alt text below the cut than in the actual alt text section. This is because tumblr mobile is a lovely little thing that makes the alt text very difficult for me to use. I can only see around 6-8 words at a time, and when I’m pasting my descriptions, it’s very hard to tell which one is which. If this is an issue for anyone or makes it difficult to use a screen reader, please let me know and I’ll do my best to find an alternative!

Example of what I see:

Im at the end of my rope

I’m at the not in the string

I can’t see the path forward

If I barely notice anything

Besides the pain.

im literally him, im literally jonathan sims (just experienced excruciating rib pain (one of my ribs likes to move and out off all of the pains my horrible body gives me its probably one of the worst))

[chemically-unbalanced-angel]

wouldn't it be great to be comfortable in my own body?

[why-arent-you-whumped]

We don’t talk about the after effects of a panic attack enough because WOW these rib pains from all the hyperventilating are NO JOKE hahahahaha-ow

Edit: okay well now I’m at work by myself and can barely breathe without pain/dizziness so that’s not as aesthetic

That feeling when you have a weighted blanket that’s been up against the wall with the cold window so pulling it onto yourself feels like icing your ribs when you didn’t even know they were aching.
