Chronic pain is really just
Me: I’m in too much pain to move
Everyone: have you tried moving about it?
I’m in so much pain I can’t move.
Human bodies needs movement.
Depriving your whole body of movement is going to fuck it up big time and make your situation worse.
Are all true statements and none is more true than the other. Accept it. I know people are annoying af when they don’t know chronic pain, and even the best intentions are useless, but bitching about how moving is not a solution is…. Man that’s exactly where you’re missing the point. Not exercising at all is actively making your situation worse and no amount of reasoning is going to change the fact that not moving is the opposite of a good thing, by far.
I get it ok? I spent months in bed because I was in too much pain to move. I started therapy because I was changed by chronic pain. My personality changed. This shit changes you. But if I tell you i work out three times a week now you’ll bitch that if I got better then it was never as bad as your situation and i don’t qualify for the chronic pain tag.
Don’t miss he point. The point remains you ARE making it worse by not moving. That’s the fucked up part. It’s not on you it’s not your fault you don’t deserve this. THAT’S ALL TRUE. But yeah, it’s making it worse. And TERRIBLY so. Your body actually hates sedentarism. It’ll make you pay handsomely for it. A lot of problems are caused by not moving. Being bed-ridden causes a lot of problems just by the fact that you stop moving. Problems that weren’t there before and are unrelated to whatever caused the person to become bedridden. It’s because human bodies hate not moving.
Bitch about the people being nosy and out of line, and about being fucking tired of it (my life now revolves around my therapies, I get it) But don’t make the mistake of taking it out on exercising, because as impossible as it feels? It IS bound to help.
