That awkward moment when you're trying to gradually return to work because your #chronicpain is slowly improving & your doctor says "There is no way I am sending you back to work now. Take four more weeks of medical leave and then we'll reassess."
Then that awkward internalized moment of simultaneous relief & guilt that the #capitalist ethic imposes even while your hand use is so limited.

Diagnosed with #degenerativediscdisease and #osteoarthritis, with severe bilaterl #cervical #foraminalstenosis at C5-C6, and moderate to severe at C6-C7, with milder stenosis at C2-C3, C3-C4, and C7-T1. Doc says I can likely control it without negative impact, but groups and online reading seem to imply expected deterioration.

Anyone out there with #CervicalRadiculopathy or #DegenerativeDiscDisease affecting the arms or hands? Or a #PinchedNerve?
I'm having issues above the thoracic fusion point for my #scoliosis.
Will be going to a doctor to get it checked out. Wondering what treatments you might be using.

It’s hard to get a script for opioids & when you do, you have to worry about insurance & the pharmacy dictating over doctors’ literal orders. No one deserves this torture. I have #IntractablePain from #hEDS, #DegenerativeDiscDisease, #RhumatoidArthritis #osteoarthritis #InterstitialCystitis, #PCOS, #endometriosis & still finding more things. I can’t even get a script for tramodol, which was very effective for me in the past…& technically isn’t an opioid. I’m only offered non FDA (4

45, #queer, #geeky. T10-S1 #SpinalFusion due to #DegenerativeDiscDisease, #scoliosis, and damage done by #PsoriaticArthritis. I also have #fibromyalgia, #HidradenitisSuppurativa, and a brain full of everything from #depression and #anxiety to #ADHD and #PTSD. Hobbies include #FFXIV and indie games, reading #fantasy and #sci-fi, and #sleeping. So. Much. Sleeping.
