You know my knee pain is above a 7 because i put the heating pad on.

Hayden and Hunter lying on their sides on the floor facing opposite directions with their backs touching

We always have each other’s backs. Hunter has been particularly aware of my sore leg and resulting severe limping over the past week. A visit to the vet lady and resulting treatment changes has helped. I’m almost back to normal. #dogsofbluesky #arthritisSucks

I have the feeling tomorrow is going to be the first nerve blocks needed on the knees since the cortisone shots. Back is burning, i dont scream if i dont move, but my hands and wrists have been dipped in boiling hot wax.

Just as an FYI for the alt-text nazis. I dont upload things here, and use crappy preloaded gifs to avoid having to type alt-text when it hurts because IM TIRED OF FEELING ATTACKED FOR HURTING.

You're robbing yourselves of unique content.

Oh, theres an idea. Spouse hates that kind of thing, but im bedbound today. #arthritisSucks

My Madame Spine has me taking a corset-piercing's worth of cortisol shots once a week. I feel you. #arthritisSucks

Im a smof- worked the Lunacon a few times before it imploded due to post embezzlement politics.
TolkienLit is my primary, but i keep up on what most of scifi-fantasy media is up to.

Yo, i just got the my #cortisol #nerveblocks YESTERDAY, how can my knee be hurting? What the effing feck?!? The doctor said tolerence isnt a problem with this! Grrrrr. So frustrating! Why wont this body ever just act NORMAL.

Tired, depressed, out of sweets, dont even have enough flour for zeppole, and now an #arthritisflare. My fuckin shins hurt. Who the fuck has arthritic *shins*. Its just stupid. OW.

Not having access to comforts just makes everything harder.

#ChronicPain #arthritisSucks

People call me lazy for not alt-texting absolutely everything because it hurts to type.

Reduced to pecking a screen with one finger from 200wpm. #arthritisSucks

Its never good when the #breakthroughPain has me gnawing on a stick 5 hours after #Cortisone shots. The pain my brother gave me has never stopped. SHE refused me medical care, despite me crawling down the driveway sobbing.

My #cortisol shot routine atm. Just to function without crippling pain.

#arthritisSucks #chronicpain

Oh how quickly we forget. 10 days since my last set of cortisol shots to the knees. Im remembering how often i say "owFeck"

#arthritissucks

I will now commence #whinging, as i was correct and Dr. B did not zap my knees. The other place gonna zap em Friday. But now i got to do 48 hours of the feckers without, under a feckin humid heat dome thats been threatening thunderstorms without actually delivering.

HEY, I know it looks like im just lying here, but im literally conducting an entire civil war at the cellular level.

Primary hand really bad for the first time. Staying baked to stay calm. These hands have always earned my living, and now theyre useless. Im reduced to one finger typing the onscreen keyboard @ 5 WPM.

The struggle is real #arthritissucks #chronicpain #

Incapable of doing anything but reading #RomanceNovels 2day. Thunderstorms. #arthritisSucks, need #BrainCandy. Who's got some funny, sarcastic #writers that are super new, am a #speedreader who needs fresh meat.

Oh boy, this week is gonna suck. Be merciful on the Gimps you love this week, #hamont.

Weather map showing a clear spot over the zone immediately west of lake ontario, surrounded by precipitation markers

The thing is, the precipitation goes around this little pocket microclimate, but the barometric pressure fluctuations as that little eye moves and shifts is brutal on #chronicpain sufferers. Thats what gets me, not the wet, not the cold, the air pressure. #arthritisSucks

So stiff and sore this morning. And I didn't even do anything strenuous! #ArthritisSucks

Last week it was the hands, today it is the jaw. Go to sleep and forget about it for tonight #arthritissucks #flairup

If you #staystoned you aint gots to #getstoned.

(I barely notice it these days. Struth. I get dizzier off my own blood pressure.)

The joint at the base of my right thumb is swollen, aches, and clicks and pops when I move it. Doc’s advice is to take ibuprofen, which I already do. Thanks for nothing, doc. #ArthritisSucks

Whichever evil fucker painted the insides of my knees with hot mustard should have to listen to me whinge about it.

My fat hand wrapped around a smallish plastic jar of ice. Oh and the nosy black cat.

Small, oval shaped, chcolate hazlenut spread jars make GREAT finger #icepacks. Great on the neck too.

Everywhere ive ever been injured is taking a turn to shoot zaps of electrical pain through me.

I grew up in the 70's, thats a lot of places.
