Okay so apparently the "pain" that my physical therapists and doctors have been telling me to push through while exercising this whole time was MUSCLE SORENESS? freaking *muscle soreness* are you kidding me??

WHY would anyone not know that exercising causes muscle soreness? I have ehlers danlos syndrome, not "I've never used a muscle before because it hurts too much" syndrome. That's expected pain. I am already pushing through that because I'm not an idiot, I know how exercise works. That just seems so condescending.

When I bring something up, it's because either something hurts at a 7 on the pain scale or above, I'm having unusual pain or discomfort, or I can physically feel my joints moving in and out of socket in a way that makes the exercises not even engage my muscles at all. But apparently I'll have to specify that next time I see a doctor -_-

#also im sorry im just very worked up and this isnt targeted at people who do have muscle dysfunction disorders #like im sure you also are experiencing more than simply muscle soreness too though #so im sorry if doctors say this shit to yoy guys too #omg imagine telling someone with a muscular disorder to just work out more and push through some pain #i guess eds is actually a musculoskeletal dosorder 0.0 i forget that #grr im so mad why are doctors like this #i dislocate joints everyday im not gonna complain about muscle soreness #my muscles are already in spasm 90% of the time and i honestly cant afford to care
