Huh. I think I might've actually gotten a diagnosis. A hypothetical one, sure, but that's more than I've gotten for like seven years.
#basically? spine that isn't quite ''broken'' enough to show up on an MRI. would explain the symptoms surrounding the rib-pain.#and then he also gave me a solid hypothesis for why my spine tries to kill me at night. which is... pretty much what i guessed?#that the spine basically starts swelling due to no longer having ''top pressure'' from gravity. and doing this#by accumulating liquids over the span of several hours (so basically impossible to be caught on a half-hour MRI-scan)#the treatment i'm less happy with. bcs it basically says ''don't sit in front of the computer so much. holy shit.''#which feels like a personal attack on everything that is me. but also fair enough. can't argue.#''the best position is the NEXT position. sitting and standing are different in how dynamic the gravity-pressure is.''#so now i have to take a bunch of breaks. which sucks. but i'm supposed to take water-breaks too (and i keep not taking them) so...#there's an opportunity to turn my life around? so i'll try? and hopefully it'll amount to something?#maybe i should invest in like... some kind of legitimate alarm-clock that automatically retriggers?#so that i can put it far away from my chair and get really annoyed at it for making me move to shut it off?#don't really wanna do it with my phone. bcs the phone has other uses. but i might have to? bcs otherwise i know i'll ignore it#bcs that's just how my brain works. which is annoying.#he also gave me another two exercises to do during those ''pauses'' and told me to pause at least four times in a day.#so we'll see how that goes.#personal stuff
