What part of your body has caused you problems recently?
14 comments
I started a new job recently that's much more physically demanding than I'm used to. Unpacking stock, lots of lifting.
Normally I'd expect it would be my back giving me grief, but it seems it's my elbow. Seems like Tennis Elbow, it only hurts when I move, but even small things like my phone cause me pain.
It's mostly gone away, but I wouldn't be surprised if it rears up again. I'm playing it as safe as I can and doing lots of stretches and stuff.
On the bright side, when I finally get used to it I expect to be in the best shape of my life
My heart and my joints. I'm on meds for my heart. Sometimes my hip joint will partially come out and I have to do this little dance to get it back into place. It makes this loud click sound when it does. Can be really painful to walk on the affected side
Oh no what's wrong with your heart?
POTS and cardioinhibitory syncope. Both stem from genetic abnormalities. The first one is severe enough that my heart rate has been as high as 260 bpm, the second one is severe enough that my heart stopped for a few moments during a tilt table test. I wouldn't wish it on anyone but ivabradine has been an absolute godsend
All the extra adipocytes.
My back, eternally. But really all my connective tissue. Just had a test recently that indicates some issue like EDS, but I haven't followed up.
Um? My whole body? I don't really understand this question. All my body parts have issues. I wouldn't say they're causing problems, though. I have an illness that causes problems, my body is doing the best it can. Never blame your body for experiencing pain. It's not its fault.
I keep asking to pull muscles in my shoulders right now. I keep working on the car and in the garden then not letting it rest when I hurt myself. It’s probably my own fault.
Physically? Knees, even though they are the victims of bad feet.
