#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

[problem-project]

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

[silly-centipede]

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.

OH MY GOUL DOG KNEE SUPPORTS EXIST!!!! I CAN FINALLY REPRESENT MYSELF WITH AN ANIMAL KNEE SUPPORT!!!

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

hi! if you've got a minute, please do this survey for my design class! our group is designing adaptive systems for joint pain & exercise

[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."

[destroyingangelneveragod]

hey fuckers who cursed my bones and tissues to be all wobbly

[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

[problem-project]

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

[gryffindorloser]

friends with chronic illnesses/joint problems/etc. i need your advice! i've been having some health stuff recently and now my knee has issues and aches when i'm cold. i was thinking maybe i could wrap something around just my knee under my pants to keep it warm but i'm not sure what to use, anyone have any recommendations?

[cyber-therian]

im really struggling with feeling good about myself since developing these knee issues

i saw a video that was like “go on a walk; if you do youll be happier”

and like, yeah, i would, but i cant. it will wear my joints down more than they already are. im sorry im failing myself and you because i cant do it. im sorry and i wish it was different.
