I want to read about Jamie courting the hell out of Roy, wining and dining him, bringing him coffee in the morning, leaving him pastries on his desk with a sweet post it note, buying him flowers, making him hella flustered and panicky at the lack of control because that's always been Roy's role when dating someone

Even after he has to put on glasses Ice doesn't stop recognising when Mav is around. He maybe can't see him all that clearly when he doesn't have them on but if Mav is around, moving or being still (and that's something extremely rare), Ice knows he's there. It's the way Mav walks, the sound his horrible boots do and the way his steps are always a little slower after a day of work but they almost sound excited to be almost home. Mav thinks he should stop drinking everything Slider offers him and Ice laughs, takes away his glasses and enjoys the sound of Mav moving, breathing, living, around him.

Understanding Joint Pain: Causes and Calming Techniques at Home

Joint pain is a common ailment that can affect people of all ages. It can range from a mild ache to a debilitating throb, significantly impacting daily life. While the discomfort itself is unpleasant, understanding the root cause of your joint pain is crucial for finding effective relief.

Unveiling the Culprits: Common Causes of Joint Pain

Several factors can contribute to joint pain. Here are some of the most frequent culprits:

Injury: Sprains, strains, and fractures can all cause joint pain, inflammation, and stiffness. These injuries are often accompanied by swelling, bruising, and difficulty moving the affected joint.

Arthritis: This is a general term for conditions that cause inflammation and degeneration of the joints. Osteoarthritis, the most common type, results in the breakdown of cartilage, the cushioning material between bones. Rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease, attacks the joints themselves.

Overuse: Repetitive motions can stress the joints, leading to pain and inflammation. This is particularly common in athletes and people who perform physically demanding jobs.

Bursitis: Bursae are fluid-filled sacs that cushion the bones, tendons, and muscles near joints. Inflammation of these bursae, called bursitis, can cause pain and tenderness.

Gout: This is a type of inflammatory arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, often resulting in sudden and severe pain, particularly in the big toe.

Natural Remedies to Soothe Your Sore Joints

While consulting a doctor is always recommended for persistent or worsening joint pain, several home remedies can offer relief:

Rest and Relaxation

The first step is to give your joints a break. Avoid activities that aggravate the pain and allow your body time to heal.

Ice and Heat Therapy

Applying ice packs wrapped in a towel can reduce inflammation, especially after an injury. Conversely, applying heat through warm baths, heating pads, or moist towels can help loosen stiff joints and ease muscle tension.

Dietary Adjustments

Maintaining a healthy weight puts less stress on your joints. Consider incorporating anti-inflammatory foods like fruits, vegetables, and fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids into your diet.

Gentle Exercise

Regular exercise strengthens the muscles that support your joints and improves flexibility. Opt for low-impact activities like swimming, walking, or yoga.

Supplements

Certain supplements, like glucosamine and chondroitin, may help with osteoarthritis pain. However, discuss these with your doctor before starting any new supplements.

Additional Tips for Joint Comfort

Here are some additional lifestyle modifications that can contribute to joint health:

Maintain good posture: Proper posture helps distribute weight evenly across your joints.

Supportive footwear: Invest in shoes that provide adequate cushioning and arch support.

Ergonomics: Setting up your workspace ergonomically can minimise strain on your joints.

Stress management: Chronic stress can exacerbate joint pain. Techniques like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing can help manage stress levels.

Remember, these remedies aim to provide comfort and are not substitutes for professional medical advice. If your joint pain is persistent, severe, or accompanied by other symptoms, consult a doctor to determine the underlying cause and receive proper treatment.

Physical therapy is kicking my ASS but it feels so good to bend my knee again even if it is just 10 minutes a day outside the clinic. I'm just glad I can do it all by myself. Something something it has to get worse before it gets better I guess.
