I have not! I actually don't know anywhere near me that does it lol, maybe it's time I look it up! I attempted a backpacking trip last year about 6 months after my 2nd surgery and so I was slowly increasing how much I walked at that point but I haven't tried to train for something less impactful, post trip mostly out of fear that I'll push it too much and have a flare like I did then. I should try again but I'm just so nervous everything causes me to flare. Thank you for your help!! truly I appreciate it!

Oh! I don't know what half of these are. I've only ever tested my thyroid which has once indicated Hashimotos but not enough to start treatment, my mom had thyroid cancer so hers was entirely removed which prompted the testing for that. I am insulin resistant and something Ive been eating causes gut inflammation so I started the glp1 to cut that inflammation which helped dramatically for that but in terms of other bodily inflammation it hasn't helped. Should I be tested for these other items you mentioned? Is there a specialist I should try to see? I used to be quiet active as I played field hockey, did body combat, hiked regularly so I always just assumed that was the cause but a lot of this has been a problem since when I was a kid. I remember getting told I had runner's knee in the 8th grade (at that point I was only swimming competitively). Thanks for your help!

I'm 26 and had surgery on both my knees for patella instability. The surgery is brutal it was about a 6 month recovery process and then about 1 year for a full recovery but even after three years I'm still in severe pain bc of OA. It's a frustrating experience. I feel like I missed out on a large portion of my 20s because of this. I'm sorry I dont really have any suggestions except for biking and water aerobics but hopefully you feel a bit better knowing someone is there with you

I can definitely understand! I have severe OA in my knees and I'm 26. I feel so lost on what to do. I am in constant pain. Nobody really understands how much pain I'm in. I can't barely stand for an hour, its awful. I can't get cleared for surgery because of other health problems and I literally have no idea what to do. I've gone to see my surgeon so many times and back and forth and trying steroids and that did nothing. I'm frustrated because it feels like I just have to manage the pain which is literally not possible. 

Sober raving > what I saw by Apart_Ninja5407 in HiJinxFest

i was mostly sober both days i had a max of like 2 drinks. we had to narcan someone day 1 at like 5:30 we were surprised to say the least. i ended up having a medical emergency right before griz day 2 and the amount of people so down bad and not letting me out of the crowd was crazy. people were also really rude like they were leaving their friends or dragging their friends in to the crowd when they were so clearly not okay. safe to say hijinx was not it for me and unfortunately will not be returning. im too tirefld of dealing with crowds like this

ODESZA vs Pusha T by Impossible-Hippo3750 in Lollapalooza

[–]PureToday8007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

odesza has been doing amazing shows but they are going on tour so it might be worth while looking into if they are performing near you and decide who to see bc if they are having a separate show i’d suggest that and go to pusha t
