Going to the doctor for chronic pain in legs while fat

Me: hi my feet get really swollen and painful if I stand or sit with my feet down for longer then 30 seconds or if it's really humid or if the temperature drops or if the air pressure is wrong. And I will wake up like that and be unable to walk without excruciating pain. Please help.

Doctor: you need to move around more

Me: I would love to but I can't because of the pain. The pain is so bad it makes me want to throw up.

Doctor: okay you need to lose weight and move around more

Me: can you give me pain killers that will stop the pain so I can move around?

Doctor: no

Me: okay can you give me advice to deal with the pain without medication so I can move around more?

Doctor: yes! Lose weight :) and move around more :)

Me: why do I bother?

Anyway actual things that have helped me:

COMPRESSION STOCKINGS. You can find ones for fat people that aren't 50 quid if you look around enough

HYDROTHERAPY POOLS: just being in the water in general. If you can do an aquafit class all the better

SITTING EXERCISES: you can find youtube videos for gentle exercising if you need to

TENS MACHINE: YMMV if it works it is a blessing if it doesn't you spent 30 quid on something that doesn't work which sucks ass

i dont know who needs to hear this but no tattoo will ever look as good as it did 10 seconds after the artist finished it and took pics to post on instagram. your fine line / delicate shading / extremely small and detailed tat is going to fade and look indistinct without any black linework, color, and/or shading to define it. this style is all the rage now but it does not hold up to aging

saying this because theres been a couple reddit posts about it and people being confused by their results

this is 6 months apart

this is 2.5 weeks later

like at the end of the day what the customer wants is what the customer gets but dont get swept up in how something looks on insta or pinterest, you need to see how it heals long term, you need to have a dialogue with your artist and be willing to change your idea based on their insight. dont discredit traditional tattoos as "too bold" or "too flashy", there's a reason the style has held up to time.

the whole point of a zine is that it's cheap to produce, amateur and homemade. if you're being asked to apply to participate in a print project, it is not a zine. if the final product is being printed and bound professionally, it is not a zine. if you are being asked to enter into any kind of licensing agreement more complex than "my work can be reproduced as part of this publication" it is not a zine. nine times put of ten if the final product costs more than $5 you have left zine country. im so serious about this.

it is so jarring and weird when a fantasy book is like “ok let’s go around the circle and have each character talk about which lgbt umbrella category they identify with” like ok your fantasy world doesn’t have to be feudal europe but can it not be 2023 twitter please

i was cuddling with my boyfriend last night when his shoulder started tensing up (like he was readjusting or gently pushing me off) and when i asked him if he was okay or needed me to move or something he went “no you’re fine, i was just imagining myself pulling a large rope. i didn’t even realize my shoulder was doing that lmao” then refused to elaborate and i have never been as attracted to him as i was in that moment.

Me: I really dislike Complimentary and Alternative Medicine and support evidence-based treatments for illness.

Always, every single time, someone in the tags: Yeah I can't believe people buy into that. I'm less hard-line than OP on this so I'll eat clay to treat nausea, but homeopathy is bullshit.

the discourse on tiktok rn is “non-medically transitioning nonbinary people” and their lived experience being different to transitioning trans ppl and its like. idk. even if we just take the best example to fit their argument at face value and give it no nuance, I just don’t see the point of the conversation besides coming up with a reason to complain abt nonbinary ppl :/ srry.

"why do girls always go to the bathroom in groups" oh my god how many times must we go through this. for the last fucking time: only groups of no less than three and no more than five may enter; all those who enter must leave, and all those who enter must contribute. the door remains opens for nine seconds,
