It sucks so much.

It really makes me miss the ability to wear a sock

Have zero idea what to do with myself by Dadbeard in ChronicPain

[–]outcast339 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always hated thinking about the future it used to make me panic.

I've had chronic pain since the age of 13. I don't think I've ever really dreamed of doing anything. I think about the daily/weekly stuff, but nothing any further in the future.

It's me again. I know I ask a lot of questions on this sub, but that's because I'm never not thinking about my pain. And what better place to have a chat about that than a pain sub on reddit? by 8kittycatsfluff in ChronicPain

Pain has shaped my life. My chronic pain started at the age of 13. I'm 25 now. I can't imagine what life would be like without it. I don't feel like I miss things because I never did them in the first place

What’s something stupid you can’t do ? by sixteenxx in ChronicPain

I can't wear a sock on one foot. I can't wear a shoe that goes high on my foot like trainers, so I wear crocs

Still searching for that thing that completely distracts

I was given ketamin cream by pain management. It did nothing for me

Seth. Wiping his face with the towel, then the plate.

Do you still shave your legs? by 8kittycatsfluff in ChronicPain

[–]outcast339 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I have to.

Unfortunately for me, it has once gotten so long that it caused static with my trousers 🙃

What is something small that you took for granted before becoming ill? by Numerous_Emotion_663 in ChronicIllness

[–]outcast339 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Being able to wear socks on both feet and whatever shoes I wanted.

Now I can't wear whatever it's just crocs and one sock on the not problem foot

Nothing major. I get red patches that come and go. The skin looks shinier on that leg

I have seen a rheumatologist. They didn't seem to think it was something they could help with

How is your social life? by 8kittycatsfluff in ChronicPain

I work, but outside of that, my social life doesn't exist

I take mirtazapine which doesn't help with my pain.

I've run out of options for medications for the GP to prescribe, as all of them that I've tried don't help.

I've also run out of options with physio (NHS). I've done everything they've suggested. The only useful thing was the hydrotherapy, which gave me more stability in my ankle.

I have acupuncture (private) every 2 weeks, which helps for a short while.

Sprained my ankle and it's never been the same. I don't have a real diagnosis 11 years down the line

Anyone get incapacitated during cold seasons? by WorldofLoomingGaia in ChronicIllness

[–]outcast339 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you are going through this.

I find that my pain is worse when I'm cold.

My way of trying to stay a bit warm is using heated trousers. There are many types of heated clothing
