OT made my hip worse

which like, fine...

but I'm tired and sick of things not helping

and sick of people who think they know how to manage my pain better than me when they don't know all the trial and error I've done throughout the years.

Like, I told this person "I'm willing to try this, but historically, everything like this has made my hip worse" and, instead of asking about the pain or what I had tried, she just went "this will be different"

and when it did start hurting and she did finally ask, her response was "well, that's weird, because that's not how your muscle works"

and like? I know! I wish it made sense too! But I am long past worrying about how my body should work and would like to not be dealing with worse than usual hip pain please and thank you

#it has been a ROUGH week #this was the last fucking thing I needed #or well this plus two hours on public transportation because of delays #I swear those seats are designed to fuck with my hips specifically #I'm just tired #I want to stop being a good littl epatient who does their pain management program #like things help #but never enough #and it's not worth people who don't know what they're doing making it all worse #also every time my regular OT interacts with other OTs at the clinic #I realize how clueless she is #and like she's a nice person but didn't they give her any trainign before setting her free?#like OT for people with chronic pain requires you to know what to fucking do godammit
