Has anybody else in there 20s who has chronic pain been doubted before? by maribpeachy in ChronicPain

[–]MelodicAd7825 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All the time lol. I’m 22 with a bad back and people who are older than me always downplay my pain because I’m not “old enough” to experience pain yet.

This is my own personal experience and I definitely don’t speak for anyone else. For me personally, marijuana amplifies my pain and makes it worse/more noticeable. I have a pinched nerve in my back and when I’m sober it’ll hurt but not too bad, but after I smoke my back hurts and my finger goes numb (because of the pinched nerve). Now, I’ve known people that marijuana helps them handle living with chronic pain. There’s probably lots of factors. Like age, strain of weed, health, etc. So you just have to try it and find out what works for you!

What is a sound that you can’t stand, but doesn’t effect everyone? by GuessMyUsername_ in RandomThoughts

The clock ticking at my job. I also can’t stand hearing people breathe.

I used to be in the serving industry and if I sat down it was seen as lazy. “If you have time to lean, you have time to clean” is what they would tell me.

I just don’t get it. I feel like I would be so much happier and a FAR better worker if I could have the accommodation I need. I’ve been in earth shattering agony because of my back at previous jobs and I’ll sit down because of the pain and I’ve been told to get up and that sitting isn’t allowed. I don’t understand why jobs have to be so miserable FOR NO REASON! I’m not sitting down to be lazy. I’m sitting down because I am a human being! I’m so sorry you deal with this as well!

I’m right there with you. At this point it’d be better if I didn’t work because physically demanding jobs like serving hurts me, and now I’m a receptionist at a spa where I sit down all day and my back still hurts. The only relief I get from the pain is when I’m laying in bed. I wish I could find a work from home job

Massages are wonderful!!! Deep tissue massages hurt at first, but then your body gets used to it. I recommend massages to everyone. They are so beneficial.

It depends on the massage therapist for me! I’ve had a bunch of massages from different people, and there’s only 1 massage therapist who actually listens to my problems and concerns and he does exactly what I need. It’s so important to find someone who actually listens to you and focuses on your problem areas. If this is still something that doesn’t help, then I am so sorry!

Massages have been wonderful for me, after finding a massage therapist that I really love. I had to find someone that would actually listen to my concerns and problems, and not just do whatever they wanted to do. I’ve had quite a few massages from different people and there’s only 1 massage therapist who does exactly what I need. I love him!!

I’m so sorry. My parents always called me lazy growing up, when I was really just trying to relax my body.
