this is a friendly little post to say: if you find that doing stretches for wrist/shoulders/back/whatever either 1) don't help or 2) seem to make your pain worse, then please stop doing the stretches. the answer here is not to keep doing them becuase if you push through the pain eventually it'll get better, right?

listen to me. listen. stretches never did anything for me and at age 25 i learned i had hEDS, which meant 1) most stretches would never help me 2) depending on the stretch, could hurt me, so please. if they aren't helping. please do not keep doing them hoping that they will "eventually" help.

look into whether or not you have a hypermobility disorder or EDS or smth, great resource here: www.ehlers-danlos.com

#my wrists do not need to be more flexible them being flexible is the Problem #disability bloggin #i wanna make al onger post about this kind of stuff but keep forgetting #hot tip if you suspect you might have a hypermobility disorder and/or EDS #STOP DOING PUSHUPS IMMEDIATELY.#BAD FOR UR JOINTS.

has anyone used finger braces/ring splints for hyperextension (or hypermobility in general)? i've casually looked into them before but as of this week i've just about had it and i think need to get serious, so i'm curious what other people's experiences have been or if anyone's got recommendations/tips/whatever

#all of my joints are Bad but i think i've reached my limit with my right hand pinky finger lol #which i know seems random but it's my shift/enter finger when typing and the top knuckle collapses when i press the keys #so it gets pretty sore and irritated when i'm typing a lot (i.e. every day lately)#but that specific joint also means sizing might be a challenge :/

It is interesting how much math comes into even the most basic of like. Making things. Making almost anything. And often not numbers necessarily but proportions and geometry. I think all the time about how castles were built with geometry at the heart of it. And I use the same kind of proportional math to make socks fit. And none of my pieces are ever knit with a prime number of stitches--because you use factors to make neat colorwork and ribbing and different stitches. Idk ! I remember constantly thinking 'how the hell is THIS gonna come in useful ?' But it always does. Math is at the heart of everything, and knowing how to apply it is a tool of critical importance to Thinking Up A Shape And Making It.

#it turns out it is not covid vaccine making me highly fucked up but rather this new med which is fun #um #one of thise 'high but wow. in such a bad way' kinda experience atm #almost fell down the stairs #tripped while just standing #and its like. ok so the thing is i go to pain management to manage my pain right ? makes sense #and then all they have to offer is shit that fucks me up more. the muscle relaxant that seems to have permanently #loosened all my joints so they are WAY WORSE NOW #stupid ssris that make me fall constantly and fuck with my brain #i literally just need a painkiller that works. that is all. we know what was effective from surgery #but they of course will never prescribe opiods. oh the horror. imagine.#i could scream #anyway. uh thinking about the interconnectedness of math in all things is much more fun than screaming #knitting

to be, or not to be (romanticization of the inevitable)

#ray's tag #keys' art #undescribed #skeletons #ok to reblog #the skeleton model that i traced for this was provided by the incredible kiku @kikunai whom you can find right here on tumblr!#so uh. This is a piece about chronic fatigue although the original idea i had for it drifted a bit as soon as I started coloring the linear #(i really enjoy shading and lighting things and got a bit carried away here but i stand by my choice because this is my favorite thing #that i've ever drawn)#anyways. i often feel especially lately with school being back in season that my bones are leaden with this sort of. weariness. theyre heav #it weighs on our mental health and energy a lot and although there's a couple of reasons we have been given for it #that doesn't remove the fact that this is still a thing that affects us in a very real way day to day although we are good at masking it.#often i come home to find that i do not have the physical mental or creative energy to work on things i really want to #especially project: nexus which i feel extra bad about even though i can't help it because i just started it so recently #it is a mild to moderate struggle to make it day to day and i just. wanted to represent this somehow #my original concept for this was a skeleton with some black goop gunk whatever leaking from its joints #but as i started adding the cracks and coloring them gold (a personal touch; kintsugi is a concept that is very dear to us)#i realized that the focus here was less on the condition itself and more on the body that it afflicts.#so i put it into a spotlight.#ironic i know since very little people acknowledge this irl or even know it exists at all but i added rim lighting. I added color gradients #I colored the lineart and made it all fancy and even added a flare for the head to get the point across that even at its core; disability i #a performance. this is not implying that disabilities are fake in fact this is the opposite of that. i wanted to show that with disabilitie #especially i think in my personal opinion the invisible ones #we are all masking at least a little bit during the vast majority of the day. humans are social creatures and it is only when we are alone #or with someone we deeply trust where we allow ourselves to be who we truly are without fear and even then that can be rare #so i wanted to show this bit of the soul in as broad a limelight as i could. idk this is a really abstract piece and i dont know if anyone #will even get it but it matters to me at least. and even though we've been largely bedridden for the past week i think that's okay #we will get it figured out. all of us. okay? okay. i love you. i fucking love you. we are going to fucking make it #(also the xes over the eyes are because i thought they looked cool they have no deeper meaning at least i think they dont #actually i think they do but i cant put it into words idk. Art is subjective assign your own meaning i'm gonna go get a shower)

Dean had walked a little too much last night.

He could tell because now, hours later, after a longer research session for a local case, during which his knee joints had the time to stiffen up and set in place, it hurt to move them. Dean was sure that if he put his hand on that spot right above the knee, he'd be able to feel some swelling there.

He yawned, then stretched with a low groan at how his spine popped, the muscles in his lower back aching after being forced to keep him upright and then hunched over old books for hours.

Sam, who was sitting next to Dean, hands grasping some giant tome that seemed like the most boring reading ever, but which Sammy seemed completely invested in, looked up from the yellowed pages. He raised his eyebrow at his older brother.

"You good?"

If glares could kill, Sam would have long been a goner. Since that wasn't the case, all Dean could do was give it all he had, hoping he'd manage to cook up something looking suitably nasty.

The effort put into his glare seemed to have no reducing effect on Sam's smirk.

"I'm good," Dean scoffed at his brother, but his left hand traveled down to massage his aching knee, and fuck, yeah, it was swollen. Brow furrowing, Dean closed his eyes against the feeling of his fingers working away at the tender tissue, not really taking away the pain, but spreading it around a bigger area. It didn't help much, but it was something.

When Dean opened his eyes again, he was welcomed by Sammy's concerned look.

"Your knees giving you shit again?"

Dean chuckled bitterly.

It wasn't pretty.

His legs have been getting worse, letting him know loud and clear he wasn't young anymore. It wasn't entirely unexpected. Three decades of fighting, stress and, he was willing to admit this - poor dietary choices, had to catch up with him at some point. Still. It's a little different just thinking about it versus when it's actually happening to you.

The pain also served to make him miss Cas more. The angel was rarely around, and when he was, Dean struggled to ask for help. He didn't want to make Cas think he only cared about the angel's healing mojo (and the words to the contrary... wouldn't make their way past Dean's lips somehow) so often times Cas appeared and disappeared to Dean in pain, completely oblivious to it.

There was that small part of Dean, too, that still believed he may have deserved it.

"Yeah..." he nodded in response to Sammy's question. No reason to hide it, someone standing fifty feet away could see how swollen and sore Dean's knee looked now. There was bitterness to his voice when he said: "I'm getting old, Sammy."

Somehow, that didn't earn him the grimace he was expecting, or the bitchface he could see in his mind's eye. Instead, Sam looked thoughtful for a minute, then simply smiled fondly.

"Yeah," he agreed, going back to his book. "Yeah, you are."

I'm pretty sure I'll never finish 90% of what I started writing, so I'm gonna subject you to the unfinished bits.

#dean having bad joints is something that can be so personal #(the author experiences bad jointism on the daily)#spn #supernatural #destiel #fic writing #my writing #dean wichester #sam winchester #castiel #istg if someone tags this as w!ncest i will do sth drastic
