shoutout to the people who have an "abnormal" or "awkward" gait

it's not talked about a lot on here but there are so many different abnormal gaits for a multitude of reasons, and I am someone who has an abnormal gait. I often drag my foot or waddle like a duck because of my hips and knee issues.

it often makes people give me strange looks, stares, and I've also been accused of being intoxicated for it, it is embarrassing sometimes.

Me: "I think I have [insert condition]."

Doctor: ">>>:(( You shouldn't self diagnose!! It's not valid!!"

*not even 30 seconds later after I explain the symptoms*

Doctor: "I think this could be [insert the exact fucking condition I said I had]."

Love having EDS and being told my shin splints would “just go away” if I ran enough????? That’s not even how shin splints work?!????? Those gym teachers who clearly hated their jobs and assumed everyone was able bodied can fuck off! Disabled people exist, and we don’t just pop up in adulthood!! IF A CHILD IS IN PAIN, DON’T FUCKING IGNORE IT.

An ode to plantar fasciitis:

🎤

I would walk five hundred miles,

And I would walk five hundred more.

Just to be the man who walked a thousand

Miles to fall down at your door.

Ibuprofen! (Ibuprofen!)

Ibuprofen! (Ibuprofen!)

I hate when I meet people with the same condition as me and they say "that's not a disability". like okay it's great that it doesn't disable you, but it greatly disables me and you don't get to determine what I label myself

A Grand Day Out: First Bike Ride of 2025

Sunday, 26 January 2025

Last Sunday, I took the bus to the library with my cane. The day before that, I used my rollator to walk from home to downtown and back, about 4 miles (6.5 km). In the days that followed, my plantar fasciitis flared up. Not so bad that I felt like I couldn't walk, but walking was painful.

So, I made sure the battery on my e-bike was charged and used it today for coffee and grocery shopping in the morning and then to the library and back in the afternoon. All told, it was about 7.5 miles (12 km) and my feet don't hurt!

I had a really good fencing practice today after a very difficult and discouraging practice last week. I even considered quitting. I had been struggling with my advance lunges. And tonight, my coach said my advance lunge was “beautiful” and that meant so much to me. I’m not giving up.

I’m going to go to the Olympics one day for fencing. And I will win gold.

I have a lot of disabilities that make it harder for me but I’m learning and progressing despite them. Some of them include plantar fasciitis and a complete lack of depth perception (despite have two working eyes.) I’m used to working harder to adapt to succeed despite my disabilities. This is what I want to do. So I’m going to do it. 😊

Happy EDS and HSD awareness month! This month, I’ll be celebrating by getting about a million more symptoms and having a flare up on day one!

As a matter of fact, I wasn’t aware enough so my body decided to bring back symptoms that my doctors and physical therapist already helped out with!

I think as our society has become more sedentary and Fascia in everyone's body has become an issue that is causing back pain, shoulder pain, etc this list needs to be more out there.

Myofascial massage can do a LOT for pain management.

I have had people come to be after 10 years of going to doctors and within 1 appointment I helped their pain more than any doctor- not because I am more competent, but because I had the right tools to help.

Most TMJ issues, sciatica, carpal tunnel, plantar fasciitis, and more can be helped if not fixed with myofascial massage and it is generally cheaper to get regular massage than it is to continually go to the doctor for something that they are unequipped to handle.

The ONLY time those are issues that a doctor can handle better than a myofascial massage therapist is when there is a structural nerve impingement, such as your spine or hips pinching your sciatic nerve. Otherwise it is likely just your soft tissue restriction causing the pain.

And soft tissue restriction wont be helped with a pill or a surgery- and sometimes surgeries can actually make it WORSE.

So please- if you have a chronic pain disorder look for a Myofascial Massage Therapist in your area.

Also DRINK WATER. Dehydration makes connective tissue restriction worse!
