#Pain reliever for muscle pain

[not-poignant]

Every time I see writing advice like 'remember to stretch your wrists!' I remember the horror my physiotherapist had when he learned I was stretching my wrists before writing but also had chronic nerve pain.

Now this is important. It's nerve pain. He stared at me and then said: Stop stretching.

I stared at him in shock and he said: Muscular pain is different from nerve pain. Stop stretching. Nerves don't respond to stretching like muscles do, it's two totally different treatments. Don't believe me? Stop stretching until our next session and tell me how you go.

And folks I've been free from nerve pain in my wrists ever since. After about a decade. And that's 2 straight years now. 2 years.

I still get muscular pain, which I stretch when that comes up and only when it comes up. But the specific pain I had from ulnar nerve impingement in both hands completely vanished. I was unknowingly making it worse because I thought stretching the nerves was the same as stretching the muscles, and thought the answer applied to everything.

(Tl;dr everyone is different. My physiotherapist is studying to become a medical doctor and will quit out of the field soon, but I always appreciated that everything he told me was solidly backed up with peer-reviewed studies and never came out of nowhere. Also his 'try it for a month and see' was so much better than 'I know I'm right' - because it left a door open for the people who realise what they thought was nerve pain was probably muscular in origin).

It’s disability pride month, and if you are disabled in the U.S. from Long Covid I want you to know that you’re not alone, and you’re valid in whatever you feel. Whether that’s sorrow at your new problems or rage at society for failing you, you are valid, and it is truly messed up that society is continuing to fail you.

Release back pain

Exercise can be helpful in relieving and preventing lower back pain. Here are some exercises that can be beneficial:

Pelvic tilt: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Tighten your abdominal muscles and press your lower back into the ground. Hold for 5 seconds and release.

Knee-to-chest stretch: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Bring one knee up to your chest and hold for 15-30 seconds. Repeat with the other leg.

Bird dog: Start on your hands and knees. Lift your right arm and left leg straight out, keeping your back straight. Hold for a few seconds and then switch sides.

Bridge: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Lift your hips up toward the ceiling, squeezing your glutes. Hold for a few seconds and then lower back down.

Cat-cow stretch: Start on your hands and knees. Arch your back up like a cat and then lower it down like a cow. Repeat several times.

Cobra pose: Lie on your stomach with your hands under your shoulders. Press up through your hands, lifting your chest and arching your back. Hold for a few seconds and then lower back down.

Child's pose: Kneel on the ground and stretch your arms forward, lowering your forehead to the mat. Hold for several seconds.

Remember to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity and duration of your exercises. If you experience pain or discomfort during any exercise, stop and consult with a medical professional.

im also interested to know how much it cost you so leave that in the tags, if you feel comfortable with it.

Also not to already start bitching abt temperature at the beginning of october but it genuinely sux having a disability that flares up more w cold than w heat bc. The only way for me to be even like baseline comfortable is for everyone else to be like medically suffering bc they’re so hot. So I just like don’t get to collectively experience the outdoors as a joyful thing w other people bc either way someone has to suffer and wanna go inside. And of course I don’t want other ppl to be uncomfortable but warmth is such a rare relief for me and I feel mean for being grateful that my body gets a moment to recover before I’m mf cold again. Seasons n temperature r such strange things to beef over imo but its just a lil :/ how when I’m in pain everyone is like thank god and when I’m comfortable everyone is like you’re bad and wrong for that

Chronic pain really got me going to bed before it’s even dark out (also my little pink unicorn lights Millie got me look so cool in the second pic)

[maddiemuu]

something's been wrong with my left thumb on and off the last few weeks... don't know if it's just chronic pain stuff or if it's hurt normal style. if it's actually hurt that'd be very weird seeing as i am one of the most right handed people to ever walk this earth

[rosestthorns]

I may be a little too nonchalant about whats happening to me. I mean sure it's horrifying without a doubt

But I'm pretty sure my mother thinks I'm dying, oops

[plopshoe]

lol it's ok i'm glad my silly lil doodle is able to help others in some way

what if charlie had hypermobility?!?!

[phagodyke]

At risk of giving potentially useless advice—caffeine pills have been a gamechanger for my period cramps if they have those where you are

ah thanks, caffeine actually makes cramps worse for me 😅 but glad it works for u!
