I used to be someone who could run 100m in 10.8secs or so, 5km in 18-20 minutes and ride a bike all day (I used to play RL and was an amateur road cyclist). Now, I'm flat out walking up the road for something at the shop, without having to sit down for half an hour afterwards. |
Yeesh!
Arthritis sucks. I'm sure its next on my list!
So far, I got:
A fractured pelvis, broken legs, broken arm, 2 cracked shoulder blades, a broken nose, fractured jaw, 4 broken and 2 fractured rbs. All sustained in Olympic level motorcycle hig-side some 30 Years ago.
A back that got ****** when a missile hit my ship in the Falklands and ruptured eardrum from same.
Plus I break at least one toe a year, the doctor says I have sciatica, no cartilage left in my knees and bursitis in my left arm.
Every one of these lets me know where it is at
some point during the day.
My advice:
Oxy Contin!
It doesn't actually stop the pain, but ya just don't care.
Don't leave home without it!!!
