#my therapist l rheumatologist might switch me to braces or something later tho

[arctic-hands]

If my knees ever progress to the point I need a chair instead it is going to suck ass because if I sit up straight for too long my back feels so agonizing like it's about to snap

#my failed democratic republic for an opioid i can safely take with my psych med if that scenario ever happens #knees don't fuck me over more than you already have #chronic pain #back pain #disabilty #do they make recumbent wheelchairs?? #cane user #my therapist l rheumatologist might switch me to braces or something later tho #she wanted me to have a cane from the get-go but my physical therapist didn't want to 'give up yet' so #bah #anyway canes are more for balance and or/only one knee problem and both my knees are shit #admittedly ol' righty is more shit then ol' lefty so i usually put the cane in my left hand #tbh even righty isn't acting up too too much lately at least around the house or taking a Lyft to precisely one location and back #and i can on a good day walk to the corner store without it #but even if my knee isn't ouch by next month's rheumy visit I'm bringing it anyway just to make sure I'm using it correctly #that it's at the right height and using it in the right cadence with my legs and such #knee pain
