It didn't help ME with chronic pain, but it does help my wife with her fibromyalgia.
I'd wager if you are up in weight, and chronic pain is in any of your weight supporting areas (hips, knees, ankles, lower back, etc) then chances are your pain could be weight related.
My parents are 100% weight related issues, and when I was trying to lose weight in 2013-2015 I tried to get them to do light stuff with me. Walk around the trees behind the house a few times. A couple light calisthenics. Ride some shitty cheap bikes around the park.
Since then their knees, hips, and ankles are their biggest complaints.
Still illegal in many places in the US. I just happen to live in a state that is legal.
Since I'm close to a state border, I only need to drive about 20 minutes to be somewhere it's illegal again.
And if you live in an "at will" state, they can just fire you even if it's legal.
Sidenote: "at will" employment is the biggest sack of bullshit that employers convinced people is totally normal.
Im hopeful that the US, EU, and UK legalize it within the next few years. I'm realistic about the chances, I know how the older generations of politicians are, but I still cross my fingers.
Man, seeing a ton of people all experiencing great returns on their hard work just makes me feel even worse for never experiencing any of it beyond the weight loss itself. For literal years. No good feelings, no endorphins, even some of my joints felt worse simply because they were being used more.
And now the exact same thing two days in a row!
Its great. I'm fine. This is fine. I'm not jealous or spiteful at all. Have fun working out for me I guess.
Just once I would like a movie to visit Vietnam without playing any of the 5 songs every movie has to use.
We know it's Vietnam because you've told us. We have also seen that same exact valley from 127,000 different angles and honestly I'm starting to recognize specific groups of trees.
Ever seen the same set or costume used in two movies? It's a little jarring and takes you out of the movie, if only briefly.
Now imagine you're trying to watch a serious scene and then you go "Oh hey, those trees were in the background of the intro scene to tropic thunder!" and now all you can think of is Ben Stiller's stub hands.
I went on a 40,000ly journey just meandering to whatever area looked cool. I also went hunting for earth-likes so I could get my username attached to something in the game.
Once I got back..... I just didn't feel like playing anymore.
Easily 2k hours in the game. Clearly I was okay with the grind for quite awhile.... But nothing stays entertaining forever.
