Advice,small vent, pain management?

by
Been some time since my last post for the curious or well wishers. But i need some thoughts. Recently iv been in a rough place. Early mid life crisis? Been taking anxiety meds for some time now. Lest 8 months now and more less stopped talking much or being very active. On a happiness scale id say im about a 4-5
and iv been keeping in touch with my doctor for this.

It weird though. Days where my mood is at good 8 then days im a 3. Lately i get frustrate easily witch makes my bad speech even worse with my disability. I even feel alright one moment then 360 get angry if im frustrated.

Normally i avoid conflict or take it on the chin and ignore things. So im out of the norm. Getting closer to 39yr and it sucks. My turrets did me no favors body wise as i have bad joints and i can't really find a better job. But my job is one of the main reasons im not doing to good at times. But i can take ibuprofen to manage some.

Whats on my mind is a rotator cuff injury i had about a year ago. I was on work restrictions for a month but my shoulder hasn't or lest from what i feel fully healed well. I lost a lot of strength in my left shoulder in a horizontal direction. That's lest half the work i do at work so its not really possible to adjust for the better and i tend to be in a mild aking pain after work.

So pain wise advice. Iv been looking into and thinking about getting a cortisone shot to at lest hopefully for a good few months be pain free in my shoulder.

Has anyone had cortisone shots what are they worth the cost and last awhile?

But lastly getting the word out or lest talking about all this in a way makes me feel a bit better. And hopefully once winters over i can get outside more and work on my fun projects.

Thanks for reading~

It’s nice hearing about other people's problems.

I have an injury in my left arm as well, something about my shoulder blades, Scalapia Winging or some other? Some rare disorder, my shoulder blades stick out like wing nubs, should be flat to help support my back and rib cage.

But the way my body is, it creates these anomalies along my torso, and inadvertently caused pain in a way that makes it hard to breath – my lungs have a difficult time expanding past the pain near my ribs.

But that is pain I can live with. I’m fine with it. I’ve had it for so long, I’m comfortable with it. Sometimes.

Its helped me to re-center myself just to blurt it all out there and helped me to be more relaxed but i think its time to look into better pain management that won't do more harm then good. Took to many pain meds back then Tylenol that gave me some liver probs. thankfully that's healed up from doing more natural pain management like ice and heat packs. Catch is i can't really keep ice packs on my shoulder since i work in the food industry. Food hazard. X3

So i think getting a shot in my shoulder would be the best option.

It blows that you have the pains you do and i feel for ya. Being blessed with my dads small nose and being a bulky guy i tend to have to mouth breath while working.  But that kind of pains really sucks and i hope we both can get some relief from our akes and pains. World of advancements should be a lot of options.

Going on near 3am after i just got off work. A hot bowl of soup feels good after the cold temps. Thanks for chatting me up. I feel better knowing where all going through our akes and pains together.

Mmm soup. ^_^

Soup sounds hecka nice!
I don't think I need a shot, my pain isn't as bad as yours, from the sounds of it. Usually I can stretch it out and it feels better for a while.
I feel as though I'm constantly stretching. I've been called a contortionist several times while shopping.
Consistently is an exaggeration though. I think I do stretch more than the average person though.

Oh! You know what might help? I got my mom an electric portable cooler/heater that can strap onto the arm. It's powered by battery. Could you use something like that at work?

Aye sounds like your not to bad off. Wouldn't mind being a bit more stretchy myself. X3 And yeah when my cuffs went out i was laying in bed with my arms across my chest. Couldn't sleep for awhile and not really any position i put my arms in helped. One the work week started i got sent down the street to the company clinic for evaluation. Left worse then the right but more less both shoulders out. Spent 6 weeks twice a week going to physical therapy.

At current mood wise im feeling a bit more relaxed today keeping my arm in the sweet spot.

That portable cooler/heater has me wondering. I believe as long as it solid and not something that will come apart easily is allowed but FSQ rules are a touchy topic. Warm heat on my shoulder....worth a shot asking the higher ups. Still looking over getting that shot to though. Gonna meet up with my sister that's a nurse to look over my options soon.

Ill be happy once the aching feeling is gone if even only for awhile. But for now my weekend is here. Gonna sit in my chair with meh dog and full relax. Maybe play some classic Doom.

Hey thanks for keeping me company Fuzz. Winters been cold and quite but feels good that someone's out there to chat with. ^^

The message didn't hit my inbox because it wasn't a reply to me technically :P

I remember my very first experience with Doom. Decades ago.
I remember gliding into a room...gliding...that's how the running felt, very smooth, a lubricated run, that's how the walk felt.
I remember face checking into a monster, getting the crap scared out of me, and shutting the system off.

I distinctly remember growing up how everyone said how great the game is, it can run on anything, it is the best, the mega grandfather of all shooters, and how I passed up that opportunity to create, and then revel in that nostalgia.

Sometimes I feel being a kid did suck. Perhaps more so through the fears and unknowns, being a child is like being in the dark. Only does a child with responsibilities do they become adults -- through that knowledge, and the passage of time to mature the brain to make creation the foundation of life.

That said...
I hope you shot some of those assholes in the face for me XD

I must of been real tired at that moment. Could of sworn i clicked reply. XD

Grew up with several of the best games out there. I shouldn't be tempted with buying the games of old. Spent $160 for Earthworm Jim recently. If i so wanted to i could easily find it on a Rom site and DL it but then where's the fun in that? Holding the old game cartridge is a stitch in..........Fixed point in time? *Holds Sonic screwdriver up*  >_>

Everyone has them moments though. The old Jurassic park game.....dang raptors inside the buildings running at ya. Trusty shotty at your side.

And yes i did enjoy. Was excited to here the Doom series got a music update. A remaster of sorts but also still offers the original soundtrack. ^^

Curse those raptors! Are we talking about the same game? On the Sega Genesis there was a Jurassic Park.  Outside was a topside overview. When you got inside a building it went into a first person perspective.

I played a lot of Nintendo and Sega. Are you familiar with Zombies ate My neighbors?
Maybe Soldiers of Fortune?
Great gems.

I think we are. I got it on the SNES. XD dang things would run my ammo low or dry then run away fast. Them card keys didn't help any either. As for Zombies *Holds cartridge up*  Hate the vampires and worms the most. Crazy annoying. More so watching a vamp moving towards people and you got a wall blocking you.

As for the SF one that's one i didn't get my hands on. Lets see......Zelda link between worlds, Maximum carnage, Mario games, Yoshi island, The old mario cart was total bad asz. XD
