Oh how I can not wait for this class to be over 😔

My back is killing me 😭

(Granted it started bothering me before I got to class, but my point still stands)

[scoliosishurts]

I think I can’t get on roller coasters anymore😭 The amount of pain I had when I got home was absolutely ridiculous. The bad part is that I knew better 😥

[mascspomax]

I got the go ahead to buy forearm crutches but, I’m scared. I’m not scared of the cost or anything like that really.

I’m scared I’m going to like them.

That using them will make me happy and that it’ll be harder for me without them and people will judge me.

I don’t know, very mixed feelings right now. How am I even supposed to feel ?

[rottingwithers]

Trying to figure out if my weird ass posture is caused by my autism or by that curve in my spine.

Why the fuck it looks so fluffy

love giving characters my disabilities <3

When you realize after getting diagnosed that all the things you’ve been feeling aren’t normal and were never normal and you’ll never be normal.

Then you regret ever knowing you were different because now all you notice is what you’re not, normal.

Normal…? Normal.

Sometimes you spend the money you were saving for a new tattoo on handmade corsets because they were on sale and they are cheaper than a functional medical back brace but work about the same for you.

Sometimes you need to find ways to deal with your own medical issues because shit sucks and buying pretty corsets works for me.

And sometimes you get to walk up to your friend group welding your wizard staff (cane) and say "Whats up sluts, guess who just spent over 400$ on corsets"

There should be extended warranties for spines. I want a full refund.

[ididntknowwhattocallthis]

Back pain sucks because standing hurts, sitting hurts, lying down hurts. Your only option is to find the one position that doesn't hurt as bad and wait for the tylenol/ibuprofen/whatever to kick in. And sometimes the pain meds are just like "nah, we're not gonna work, sorry you have an essay due and shit to do, but you get to lay here in pain instead"

[rosehipandroots]

hey do the other fused spine peoples out there legit struggle to describe how it feels to have a bad back day to a normal non-quarter-metal person or is it just me

[scoliosishurts]

I know it’s been a while, but I have some good news coming soon that I think you all will love. Stay tuned…..

I see no downside to being a werewolf. Be big, be ouppy, be strong? The mindless animality yeah yeah yeah but here me out: giant strong puppy

[clickbeetle]

sorry for so much pt posting but i cannot believe i spent YEARS going to doctors being like “what’s wrong with me? why am i always congested? why do my shoulders burn? why am i always tired and in pain?” and they were like idk man. take some vitamins i guess.

and the first day i see a physical therapist they were immediately like “oh yeah here’s the root of your problems. do these things and they should go away.” it’s been two weeks and i feel better than i’ve ever felt in years.

[atickandacricket]

i have really been downplaying my chronic pain for far too long now. i was filling out forms to start physical therapy and it made me choose which sentence fits best. most were along the lines of “i am in so much pain that blank activity is no longer something i engage in” and i just started crying. there is so much that i just can’t do and if my father had let me get treatment i would be able to do those things right now.

i’ve spent far too many nights not being able to fall asleep because my muscles have grown into webs of knots and pressure my nerves so much that i feel it in my throat. not my neck. my throat. and my lungs. i’ve had breathing issues for years.

and i have a slew of other medical issues that have gone unattended because in comparison to that pain, it’s nothing, even if that pain is what’s causing it.

i’m so sick and tired.
