#My shoulders also rotate pretty much constantly which sets my sternum out it place too it fucking sucks

My cousin was trying to complain to me about how, when she dislocated her knee and told my sister about it, my sister tried to relate by telling our cousin how she went two weeks with her knee dislocating repeatedly once - and my cousin was mad solely because she didn't believe my sister and said "it's not possible to go that long with a dislocated joint" because from her singular experience it was too painful... And I was like girly I hate to break it to you but my sister has joint hypermobility which causes joints like her knees to dislocate or subluxate stupidly easy, and yes it absolutely is possible to go that long with it and I know this because I also have joint hypermobility and have gone an entire month with my shoulder dislocating repeatedly before. Like, news flash, people with disabilities get pretty fucking used to their chronic pain sometimes. I didn't even know my shoulder was out because my back pain is such a constant that the shoulder pain blended right in. Idk I guess my point here is, not believing someone's injury because their level of pain doesn't meet your standards is bullshit in general, but especially if you don't even know if that person is disabled in some way and therefore you base their wellbeing off of your own able bodied self. Shut up.
