#joint problems

[drifting-bones]

they should invent walking that doesn't make you feel like you're going to keel over and die

[crazycatsiren]

Weather: *changes*

My joints: We're just going to die.

I hate the fucking pressure drop

I’m glad that winter is finally going away, but I forgot how much rain affects me

I feel like shit, I can barely sit upright

I wanna work out and get stronger, it would help with some of my disability symptoms. The ironic bit is that if my condition is what doctors think it is that means I'll struggle to build muscle. And even barring that, my fatigue and my pain make it difficult to walk around campus let alone go home and work out.

My physically abled gymbro friend told me to just do a little every day, and I know he means well but I don't have the energy to get dressed or brush my teeth most days.

my ankle hurts so bad. I wish I could take my foot off like a bratz doll so maybe the pain would stop

My joints have been killing me but the Perpetua Brainrot eats me whole

I fucking hate my gym teacher. vent below.

Ok so sometimes I need these little knee brace things to be able to properly get around without to much pain, right? And every single one of my teachers has been made aware of this. INCLUDING MY GYM TEACHER. But whenever there is an activity I LITERALLY PHYSICALLY CANNOT DO, he acts like i'm somehow lying to him???? it's literally in my school file that I am exempt from physical education activitys that involve excessive running, jumping or other movement that could damage my knees. I am always having to educate this man about my disability when literally all he has to do is READ MY GODDAMM FILE. Not to mention, he is constantly deadnameing me in front of my entire class because it's oh so difficult for him to just... say the name written right next to my birth name on the attendance sheet.

BUT ALL THAT ISN'T EVEN WHAT THIS VENT IS ABOUT!!!!!!!!! So on Friday, I was running reallyyyyy late to school and sometimes i'm fine with just one brace and I didn't have time to look for my other one so I just left for school with just one brace. I was actually doing pretty good until around 5th period when my knees just hurt really bad and I was struggling to move around. And by the time 7th period gym rolled around, I was not doing good.... so I explain to my gym teacher that I forgot one of my braces, that I had figured I would be fine but I wasn't, and asked if I could sit out, just for the day. This man looks at me for a few seconds like he's trying to figure out if i'm lying??? then sighs like i've offended him and tells me I can walk... so I start walking when he loudly shouts that I still have to do warmups with the rest of the class. and I pause and look at him because warmups involve skipping, lunging, and running, all of wich are hard when I have both braces, let alone just one... but I don't want to offend him so I do my best and by the end i'm close to tears because my leg hurts so bad. and so that day, we were playing badminton. and normally, I would be fine with badminton, but now i'm in extreme pain and without one of my mobility aids, and I am physically unable to do that. BUT HE STILL TRIES TO MAKE ME DO IT. IT TOOK MY PROTESTS PLUS LIKE FOUR PEOPLE TELLING HIM THAT THEY DIDN'T THINK I COULD FOR HIM TO EXCUSE ME.

I am so tired of this man forgetting I am disabled. I am so tired of him acting like i'm lying to him. I am so tired of him acting like me being in pain is a personal inconvenience.

walking up or down a flight of stairs that has railings on both sides and how much it helps being able to support my legs with both arms is convincing me that i need crutches

[foxless]

shoutout to everyone who’s chronic pain is probably easily curable but they can’t access adequate medical help for whatever reason

[steampoweredwerehog]

I get out of bed and my whole body erupts in a series of cracks like the detonation charges in a building being demolished

[tired-cripple-punk]

I am in pain

This pain doesn’t fucking stop or go away, and it gets better before I flare up even worse than before

The only way to fix it would be another surgery, but I’m trying to avoid it for a while

I fucking hate this

[crazycatsiren]

Me: "It's raining. It's no big deal. It's literally just water from the sky."

My joints: "But what if, woe is us."

Every time I tell my mom that my back is killing me from standing/walking, she tells me I just need to stand/walk more so my body gets used to it 🫠 she just doesn't understand, which is odd because she has chronic back pain too

[destroyingangelneveragod]
