Do you have permanent pain in any body part(s) and you learned to live around it?

Everything hurts. The pain doesn’t stop 😔

Sid, can you please show me your boobs to make me feel better? 🥺
👉👈

Lower left back. 😭

Yes. Autoimmune issue + chronic pain + this and that.

This is what I needed to learn to live with it / improve it:

1. Acknowledge that pain is created in the brain and it's existence and level is not directly following local damage / signals.

2. Acknowledge that lots of back, joint, muscle pain is a result of sitting on your ass too much. Then do something about it!

@shovethisrant keep crying, simp

Do ice baths, do sauna, do 7min cardio each day plus stretch. Gone.

Do nothing = pain will stsy till you die.

No professional can fix your body, only your can by doing a tiny bit daily

Left hand. It falls asleep sometimes. Hurts like a bitch.

Also, my brain because of the shit I deal with sometimes.

Yup and yup x2.
Left arm and left leg have a condition called RSD(aka CRPS). It's the kind of pain that gets legitimate doctors writing percocet and soma scripts for a 14yr old.

@jestdotty we seem to have more in common... do you have hyperextension (kinda like what people call 'double-jointed')?

My pain/ignoring of it, has gotten to the point of recently chipping(like chunks) 2 molars in my sleep... i bit through the professionally made bite splints

@jestdotty i currently have a brain MRI scheduled to rule out any potential reasons to not need to have C5/C6 cut open and replaced with hardware. I have some recently worsened cervical nerve compression

ADHD bc I’m always kicking ass or fucking up, when I’m not getting A’s I’m getting F’s, lol. I’ll spend hours gaming, was commended for my endless endurance, but reading a basic form? I run out of steam a few words through lol. Even reading a basic for loop is a pain and I get tired out

@TeachMeCode Not sure that classifies as pain wrt the question, but it can be a pain in the ass at times..

@jestdotty for years I’ve been getting once in a blue moon numbness down my right leg and arm, thought I was having a damn stroke when I first got it. Back in my 20’s (I’m late 30’s now lol) I used to live in the weight room and did a ton of heavy max outs especially squats (I loved seeing my face turn red and eyes bulge out in the mirror standing up with heavy stuff lol). Used to have to bail out of squats when i failed to lift and have the weights bend me over onto the pins (used to make an audible CRASH BOOM that woke the gym up, plates rattling lol). It was fun in my 20’s but must’ve fucked up something in my spine. Obviously not doing that crazy lifting i did back then lol
