the audacity I have to gaslight myself into thinking I’m faking my chronic pain.

today I: cried, alone, in my car while driving with no problems. because that’s where I cry. when I’m alone. in my car. driving. I’m used to it.

who the hell am I faking it for? the people passing me on the highway?

Hey guys

I just wanted to make a post about something I never was really going to open up about on here. but as I've made some genuine friends on here, I thought this should be something I should share.

I am disabled. I have 5+ chronic illnesses that can make day to day tasks sometimes nearly impossible. I suffer with chronic pain due to my fibromyalgia and scheuermann's disease.

I think this post is important to make, for some of the lees or lers with chronic illnesses, and may not be able to fully partake in all of their fantasies in this community.

I do express things on here that I "want to happen to me" but in reality I would need to have very open communication, safewords, and a ler who is caring enough to take my illnesses into consideration. And that's okay.

I struggle with thinking people would not want to play with me because of my medical concerns. Peoples fantasies don't usually include caring for someone with chronic pain. But I'm learning this is who I am and if someone would not want to engage with me because of this, then they are not the type of person I should be talking to.

I will continue to be a part of and love this community, and I hope everyone will continue to have me. A lot of people on here are some of the most supportive people I've ever met, and I'm lucky to know you all.

If you've read this far thank you and I appreciate you. Remember my dms are open if you want to talk.

The Disease Of Scheuermann: What You Should Know!

Did you know that Holger Scheuermann, a Danish orthopaedic surgeon who initially characterised the Scheuermann disease in the early 1900s, received his name from the condition? For more information, keep reading.

The musculoskeletal condition Scheuermann's disease, also called Scheuermann's kyphosis, mainly affects the spine. Atypical spinal growth, which causes kyphosis, or a rounded or stooping posture, distinguishes Scheuermann's disease.

It is unclear what causes Scheuermann's disease. It is thought to result from a combination of hereditary and environmental causes. Numerous study results suggest a genetic risk. Environmental elements like poor posture, spinal tension, or food limitations during periods of rapid growth may also impact how it develops. 

What Is The Disease Kyphosis? 

Kyphosis is the medical term describing an unnatural forward curve of the spine. It can refer to a particular ailment known as kyphosis or be used as a general term to indicate an excessive upper back rounding. Kyphosis can be structural or postural and can affect persons of all ages, from infants to older people.

Teenagers are prone to postural kyphosis, which is typically brought on by poor posture. It can be reversed and has nothing to do with spine structural issues. Postural kyphosis can be treated with exercises, postural correction, and back muscle strengthening. 

An aberrant spine curvature is caused by structural deformities such as congenital anomalies, Scheuermann's disease, osteoporosis, or spinal fractures. A few illustrations of structural kyphosis are as follows:

1. Scheuermann's Kyphosis

Scheuermann's illness, as was previously mentioned, is a specific kind of kyphosis characterised by abnormal spinal growth during adolescence, resulting in a rounded upper back.

2. Inborn Kyphosis

This kyphosis begins at birth and grows abnormally as the spinal vertebrae develop.

3. Kyphosis Brought On By Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis deteriorates bone strength and increases the risk of compression fractures. Multiple compression fractures in the spine can cause an increase in forward curvature and kyphosis.

4. Kyphosis Caused By Trauma

This kind of kyphosis may occur due to spine fractures or other injuries, which could cause the vertebrae to collapse or misalign.

Scheuermann's Disease Symptoms 

Some of the most typical Scheuermann's disease symptoms, also known as Scheuermann's kyphosis, are listed below:

1. Kyphosis

The characteristic feature of Scheuermann's disease is an abnormal forward curving of the upper back, which results in a rounded or slumped posture. It is readily apparent and can be mild to severe.

2. Pain In The Back

A lot of people, to varying degrees, are affected by Scheuermann's disease, which frequently manifests as upper back (thoracic) pain. The discomfort may be mild or even severe, and it may get worse with activity or after spending a lot of time sitting or standing.

3. Stagnancy And Less Flexibility

Scheuermann's illness can result in several symptoms due to aberrant spine curvature. It could be challenging to bend or twist the back as a result.

4. Tiredness

Due to spinal stress, people with Scheuermann's illness may grow tired or uncomfortable after exerting themselves physically for an extended amount of time or while maintaining an upright position.

5. Muscle Cramps

Muscle cramps in the back might occur infrequently and hurt or be uncomfortable.

6. Uneven Shoulders Or Prominent Shoulder Blades

Due to the curvature of the spine, the shoulders may appear unequal, with one being higher than the other. The shoulder blades can be seen if they are prominent.

In uncommon neurological situations, the spine's nerves may be compressed or irritated, resulting in symptoms including numbness, tingling, or weakness in the legs. These neurological symptoms are less frequent, though.

The Disease Of Scheuermann Treatment 

Controlling symptoms, improving posture, and preventing the progression of the spine's curvature are the main objectives of treatment for Scheuermann's disease. Depending on the condition's severity and individual features, the course of therapy may alter. Here are some common medical remedies:

1. Monitoring And Observation

If symptoms are mild and the degree of spine curvature is not severe, a cautious observation strategy and routine checkups may be advocated in milder cases of Scheuermann's illness. This is particularly true if the individual's growth spurt has passed because the problem often stabilises with skeletal maturity.

2. Stretching And Exercise 

Physical therapy exercises can benefit posture, the strength of the back and core muscles, flexibility, and pain management. A physical therapist can design a personalised exercise programme appropriate for the patient's needs and guide proper body mechanics and postural awareness.

3. Pain Control

Scheuermann's disease-related pain and inflammation can be managed with over-the-counter medications. Before using a medicine, visit a doctor.

The Final Say 

Consider anti-inflammatory foods, consume enough calcium and vitamin D for healthy bones, and follow a nutrient-rich diet to promote general health. When offering tailored advice, dietary requirements, restrictions, and weight-control goals should be considered. 

A diet specialist can help optimise nutrition and increase general well-being even though nutrition cannot treat Scheuermann's disease. For further information, speak with the orthopaedic department at Bansal Hospital.

So the regular exams are done, finally I can be a lil bit more active for a while. My mental health is at an even worse state, and I won’t tell much detail as it would be triggering, and I have a blog for vent, all I say is I had to resort to getting tipsy almost everyday to get through days without a breakdown. And I’m also failing this semester, but maye this will give me a chance to get help lol

The only good news so far is that according to my doctor, my Scheuermann’s disease’s recovery is at 50-60%, and my chronic pain got so much better. I can finally walk more, I can lift my leg better, and I can change my clothes easier. Compared to those days where I had to sleep in jeans because I couldn’t take them off that day, and couldn’t walk to the kitchen for a glass of water, and crying after getting up to the 4th floor because it was so painful (I say it as someone with high pain tolerance, also, not even the strongest pain meds worked), I improved physically

Kyphosis Central Bronx

Kyphosis, also known as Scheuermann's Disease, or Scheuermann's Kyphosis, is a spinal condition, which is characterized by an abnormal, forward-facing, rouded curvature of the back. This condition is far more common than one would think, affecting approximately 6-8% of the country’s population – older women have the highest rate of Kyphosis, followed closely by children. Most kyphosis patients can be identified by a prominent hunchback and poor posture, when either sitting or standing.

[confuseddndpussywizard]

today i talked with 2 good friends, one of which is queer and neurodivergent and the other one has always been one of the more open minded of my friends. We talked for a while and they awakened in me the desires I've been feeling for years and years and years. I dont want to be here, and i dont want to be working this job for 14.50 and hour, and i want my family to support me.

I talked with one of my family members, and she said she'd support me. im terrified of talking to my mom, and my grandpa and grandma will never know im some fucked up queer kid. I've only recently come to the realization that having scheuermanns disease probably means im disabled as well even though it might not flare up all the time.

im tired and sad and thinking about throwing myself on the tracks again. i think that my 2 friends are ok though. one of them is getting married soon and the other is thinking of moving out of this god awful state. theyve said they'd be there for me but i dont want to bother them with my troubles, at least not the super serious ones.

im in a relationship right now, but i haven't come out to him as genderfluid yet. or at least he's not acknowledging it as something that could cause problems yet. im thinking about getting a binder soon and im not sure he'll be supportive. we've known eachother for many many many years, so itll maybe be fine. i dont know. im a little scared.

this year, im going to save up as much money as i can, and hopefully start searching for a new job next january. then, i can start planning on moving out of this state and away from my family.

i need to talk to my mother and im scared about it, but itll be ok. im sure everythign will be ok.

Understanding Humpback Neck: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments

Humpback neck, clinically known as kyphosis or dowager's hump, refers to an exaggerated outward curvature of the upper back. This condition can lead to a noticeable rounding of the upper spine, causing discomfort, pain, and affecting overall posture. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and available treatments for humpback neck is crucial for effective management and prevention.

Causes of Humpback Neck Several factors contribute to the development of humpback neck:

Poor Posture: Prolonged periods of slouching, hunching over desks, or improper sitting habits weaken the muscles and ligaments supporting the spine. Over time, this can lead to an abnormal curvature of the upper back. Aging: As individuals age, spinal discs naturally degenerate and lose height, contributing to changes in spinal alignment and curvature. The aging process can also weaken muscles and decrease bone density, further exacerbating spinal curvature. Osteoporosis: Weakening of bones due to osteoporosis increases the risk of vertebral compression fractures, which can lead to kyphosis. Fragile bones are more susceptible to deformities and changes in spinal structure. Genetics: Some individuals may have a genetic predisposition to developing kyphosis. Certain genetic conditions affect bone and muscle development, potentially leading to abnormalities in spinal curvature. Injury or Trauma: Severe injury to the spine, multiple vertebral fractures, or certain medical conditions like Scheuermann's disease can result in abnormal spinal curvature. Traumatic events can disrupt the natural alignment of the spine, causing structural changes over time.

Symptoms of Humpback Neck The symptoms of humpback neck can vary depending on the severity and underlying cause but may include:

Noticeable rounding of the upper back, often described as a hump or curvature Back pain, stiffness, or discomfort, especially in the upper back region Limited mobility and flexibility in the spine, making it difficult to perform certain activities Fatigue and muscle weakness in the back due to compromised spinal support Changes in posture, such as a stooped appearance or difficulty maintaining an upright position Treatment Options for Humpback Neck Addressing humpback neck involves a multifaceted approach, and chiropractic care plays a pivotal role in its management:

Chiropractic Adjustments: Chiropractors use gentle spinal adjustments to realign the spine, reduce abnormal curvature, and alleviate pressure on affected vertebrae. These adjustments aim to restore proper spinal alignment and enhance mobility. Therapeutic Exercises: Specific exercises are prescribed to strengthen the muscles supporting the spine, improve posture, and enhance spinal flexibility. Targeted exercises can help correct muscle imbalances and promote spinal stability. Postural Education: Chiropractors provide guidance on ergonomic adjustments, proper sitting and standing posture, and lifestyle modifications to prevent further progression of humpback neck. Educating patients about optimal postural habits is essential for long-term management. Nutritional Support: Nutrition counseling may be recommended to ensure optimal bone health and support the healing process. Adequate intake of calcium, vitamin D, and other nutrients is vital for maintaining strong bones and preventing bone-related disorders. Prevention and Management of Humpback Neck Preventing humpback neck involves maintaining good posture, staying physically active, and practicing ergonomic habits. Regular chiropractic care can significantly improve humpback neck and prevent its progression. Patients are encouraged to:

Maintain a healthy weight to reduce strain on the spine Avoid prolonged periods of sitting or standing in one position Perform regular stretching and strengthening exercises to support spinal health Use supportive pillows and ergonomic chairs to maintain proper spinal alignment Seek prompt medical attention for any signs of spinal discomfort or abnormal curvature In summary, understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatments for humpback neck empowers individuals to take proactive steps toward spinal health and overall well-being. Chiropractic care offers effective and holistic solutions for managing this condition and promoting optimal posture and mobility. By addressing underlying factors and promoting spinal alignment, chiropractors help patients achieve long-term relief from humpback neck and associated symptoms.

Causes, Types, and Effects of Kyphosis on Spinal Health

Kyphosis, also known as hunchback or roundback, is a spinal disorder characterized by a forward rounding of the upper back. In this blog, we'll explore the causes, types, and effects of kyphosis, as well as treatment options for managing this condition.

Causes of Kyphosis:

1. Poor Posture: Extended periods of sitting with poor posture can contribute to kyphosis.

2. Osteoporosis: Weak bones can lead to curvature of the spine.

3. Genetic Factors: Kyphosis can be inherited and present from birth.

4. Scheuermann’s Disease: This condition affects the vertebrae, causing them to wedge together.

Types of Kyphosis:

1. Postural Kyphosis: The most common type, often caused by poor posture.

2. Scheuermann’s Kyphosis: Caused by structural abnormalities in the vertebrae.

3. Congenital Kyphosis: Present from birth, caused by spinal malformation.

4. Degenerative Kyphosis: Associated with aging and osteoporosis.

Effects of Kyphosis on Spinal Health:

1. Increased Risk of Fractures: Kyphosis can weaken vertebrae, leading to fractures.

2. Pain and Discomfort: Kyphosis can cause upper back and neck pain.

3. Reduced Mobility: Difficulty in performing daily activities.

4. Breathing Difficulties: Reduced lung capacity due to limitations in ribcage movement.

5. Digestive Problems: Compression of abdominal organs may lead to digestive issues.

6. Self-Esteem: Changes in appearance can impact confidence levels.

Treatment Options:

1. Physical Therapy: Exercises and therapy can improve posture and strengthen muscles.

2. Bracing: Supportive braces may be used to correct spinal curvature.

3. Surgery: In severe cases, advanced spine surgery may be necessary to correct the curvature.

Conclusion:

Kyphosis can have a range of effects on spinal health, from pain and discomfort to reduced mobility and breathing difficulties. However, with the right treatment and habits, it's possible to manage and even correct this condition. Remember to maintain good posture, engage in regular exercise, and seek professional guidance for effective management of kyphosis.

are they mean, or are they really that ignorant?

they don’t understand what it means to constantly worry about their condition worsening.

they don’t understand what it’s like to wake up and feel like they’re in a time loop.

they don’t understand how much pain we have to tune out to do what they do with ease every day.

they don’t seem to want to understand.

people I love, not wanting to understand me.

it’s a pain that rivals my deformities.

Clubfoot: This is a congenital deformity of the foot that causes the foot to be turned inward. It is the commonest orthopedic birth defect. Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH): This is a condition in which the hip joint is not properly formed or positioned. It is the second most common orthopedic birth defect. Scoliosis: This is a side curvature of the spine. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, birth defects, and injuries. Kyphosis: This is a forward curvature of the spine. It is often caused by a condition called Scheuermann's disease, which is a disorder of the growth plates in the spine. Flat feet: This is a condition in which the arches of the feet are not well-developed. It is a very common condition, especially in children. Osgood-Schlatter disease: This is a condition that causes pain and swelling in the front of the knee. It is most common in children who participate in sports that involve a lot of running and jumping. Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE): This is a condition in which the head of the femur (thighbone) slips out of the socket. It is most common in children ages 10-15.

question: what exact skeletal issues do we think little Yen would be diagnosed with, modernly?

i’m particularly wondering if the asymmetrical jaw and kyphosis could have the same underlying cause or if they’re most likely to be separate issues! also wondering if anyone knows what the right terminology for a laterally misaligned jaw is because my research keeps turning up different words there
