I never imagined I would get sick one day and never get better.

Most people think of getting sick as a part of life. You get sick, you go to the doctor, take your medicine, and like “magic” you get better, and afterwards you go on with your life as if nothing happened. Those few sleepless nights with stuffed noses, stomach aches, and body pain are nothing compared to the long, healthy life that most of them will live. ☆ That’s the funny thing about chronic pain and chronic illness. You’re healthy… until you’re not. Some days you have more energy, or more spoons, and others, you don’t. Last week I was staying in bed every day until 2pm because I wasn’t sleeping at night, wasn’t feeling well, and played it off as “staying up all night reading” to my family because, I am a bookworm, and that is believable to the people I love. I almost dropped out of NaNoWriMo this year because, I have just felt like absolute shit. ☆ I also have a huge week ahead between an Allergist appointment, having to go to Rush on Tuesday, a DEXA scan Wednesday, and more that I haven’t even called to set up yet. All the while my little brother turns 21 on Monday, and I NEED to get my shit together enough to make his birthday pie, and the casserole that he asked for because this is his 21st birthday, and I cannot drop the ball here. Our mom passed away in 2020, and she can’t be here to make it a good birthday so I HAVE to. ☆ I am fucking STRESSED. ☆ #EDS #EhlersDanlos #Stress #Insomnia #Depression #ChronicIllness #ChronicallyIll #Insomniac #Spoonie #SpoonTheory #POTS #ChronicPain #CRPS #InvisibleIllness #ButYouDontLookSick #Disabled #DisabilityAwareness #AuDHD #ChronicPainAwareness #DisabledCreator #MCAS #PTSD #Dysautonomia #InternationalDayofDisability #MentalIllness #nanowrimo #aspiringauthor https://www.instagram.com/p/CluFGucv7Bc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Knee arthritis

Knee pain is the most common reason for a visit to the Orthopaedic surgeon’s office. Arthritis is the inflammation of one or more of your joints. Pain, swelling, and stiffness are the primary symptoms of arthritis. Any joint in the body may be affected by the disease, but it is particularly common in the knee. The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, but there are more than 100 different forms. While arthritis is mainly seen in adults, there are some forms, which can affect the children. Although there is no cure for arthritis, there are many treatment options available to help manage pain and keep people staying active.

Anatomy

The knee is the largest and strongest joint in your body. It has three bones: The lower end of the femur (thighbone), the upper end of the tibia (shinbone), and the patella (kneecap). The bones never come in contact with each other. This is due to the presence of a smooth slippery substance on the inside of each bone, which acts like a cushion. It is called cartilage. The inside of the joint is lined by a thin membrane called the synovial membrane. This membrane releases a fluid that lubricates the cartilage and reduces friction.

Description: Three major forms of arthritis are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and post-traumatic arthritis. The major types of arthritis that affect the knee are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and posttraumatic arthritis. Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis in the knee. It is a degenerative,”wear-and-tear” type of arthritis that occurs most often in people 50 years of age and older, but may occur in younger people, too. In osteoarthritis, the cartilage in the knee joint gradually wears away. As the cartilage wears away, it becomes frayed and rough, and the protective space between the bones decreases. This can result in bone rubbing on bone, and hence cause pain.

Rheumatoid arthritis: Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease. This means that the immune system starts destroying body’s own tissues. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease that affects multiple joints throughout the body, including the knee joint. It frequently affects the same joint on both the sides of the body. In rheumatoid arthritis the synovial membrane that covers the knee joint begins to swell, This results in knee pain and stiffness. Post traumatic arthritis: This type of arthritis occurs few months- few years following an injury to the knee joint. For example, a broken bone may damage the joint surface and lead to arthritis years after the injury. Meniscal tears and ligament injuries can cause instability and additional wear on the knee joint, which over time can result in arthritis.

Mood: done...❤️ I have a rager of a sinus infection. I haven't even been able to go outside and play in the snow, not even once, because my head will explode poof. Now this morning the kiddo is sick too. She's been gone all weekend at her dad's so very cool that there's a new sickness here for. Gotta catch 'em all, Pokémon style. I have a dr appt at the pain clinic today. But I bet they won't handle my sinus shenanigans. The house is a mess. But I am stocked on groceries and laundry is all done, just left to wither away neglected inside overflowing baskets. Plus a heavy mind with too much lately. Keep on keepin' on though. 😘 #keeponkeepingon #keepgoing #sinusinfection #wintercolds #chronicillnesslife #chronicallyill #chronicpain #chronicillness #butyoudontlooksick #invisibleillness #spoonies #spoonieselfie (at Terrace Heights, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cly7a7KPlvs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Posted @withrepost • @chronicallycandidmemes Sure, Jan • • ID: a painting of a man sitting on the edge of a dead woman’s deathbed. The woman is very pale and sickly looking, and very clearly dead.

I try so hard... not to show that I'm in pain everyday, to have a positive attitude and not bring the attention on me... But honestly it's exhausting and some days I JUST CAN'T.

Total vent here. (No hate to OP because they are 100% spot on.) My whole life I always felt different. My concerns were chalked up to “growing pains” that I was just clumsy, or a klutz, and that’s why my balance was off and ankles roll constantly. (How quirky.) That I bruise so fucking badly just because I’m pale, and that getting some sleep, sunshine, and taking a multivitamin will help. I wasn’t quirky. I was SICK. I have genetic conditions and abnormalities that come with prices, and vices, and put me in the place of mental and physical crisis CONSTANTLY. And it’s not my fault… losing weight won’t help. Yoga, essential oils, all that bullshit CANNOT fix me. So please be patient, don’t tell me to “get some sleep” or laugh that the reason I’m tired all the time is because I’m lazy, or up on my phone, or reading. If I could sleep, I would. I would LOVE to get some sleep but that’s not always a viable option. I am not a failed horse. I’m a zebra. 🦓 #Autism #EDS #EhlersDanlos #Stress #Insomnia #Depression #ChronicIllness #ChronicallyIll #ZebraGang #Insomniac #Spoonie #NoSpoons #SpoonTheory #POTS #ChronicPain #CRPS #InvisibleIllness #ButYouDontLookSick #Disabled #DisabilityAwareness #ActuallyAutistic #ADHD #BabeWithMobilityAids #DisabilityEducation #ChronicPainAwareness #SpoonieLife #ChronicPainLife #DisabledCreator #MCAS #PTSD #Dysautonomia #InvisibleDisability #SickAutoimmuneDisease #MentalIllness https://www.instagram.com/p/CkT99ZRJtkw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
