has anyone else ever had an xray to see if you have arthritis or anything similar on your hands/feet or anywhere else on your body? i just got one today and i'm really nervous to get the results back (i don't have any idea of how long the wait will be either which certainly doesn't make it better).

i've had chronic joint pain for years which has gotten gradually worse over time, but recently i got these hard bony lumps on my finger joints which made me face my anxiety and go see a doctor for the first time in a while. he did look at my joints but not nearly as throughoutly enough because somehow he didn't even notice anything out of the ordinary, which is very strange since every single other person i've showed has clearly noticed it. some even thought it was broken, but everyone noticed there was something obviously wrong.

even though the doctor strangely didn't see anything wrong, he thankfully still sent a referral to get an xray done but he said that he didn't think they were going to find anything. so that's kind of what made me start to get so anxious about it in the first place (apart from me just being a very anxious person in general).

it would be nice if there was something that could help soothe my anxiety about it a bit but mostly im just curious to see if anyone else has had a similar experience and if so, how it went for you. so if you did and see this, i'd love to hear about it :)

Too sick to do pretty much anything but also bored as hell. Been spinning the southdown flax blend on my espinner cause why not, nobody has ordered any and I can make more if they did.

It's a very interesting spin. I spun a sample before I put it up for sale to make sure it wasn't awful, which it's not; but it is difficult. Not sure I would have been able to spin it before I learnt how to spin flax. You gotta keep an eye on both components as you work, making sure you're not leaving the southdown behind or letting the flax bunch up. It's easy once you are used to it, but still different.

The espinner I got working a little better by seating the drive band correctly. Still not a fan of the fact that I'm not directly in control of the speed... on a wheel or spindle I often want to slow down or stop but it's a pain on the espinner and it leads to uneven yarn. These things are weird.

Anyway. Dont know what I'll do with it but it's nice to spin again. Have been having trouble using my supported spindles bc of my shoulders. I know there's a way to lay down where you can spin supported without shoulder pain; the issue is I can't lay in one position for very long bc then everything else hurts. And of course supported is what i switched to after wheel spinning was too painful, which i got into because drop spindling was too painful. Can you tell how upset I am that spinning is being slowly taken from me. Haha. Anyway. Glad for the espinner in this regard.

#just had my first appointment w an EDS phys therapist and everything hurts #also dont know if i have it as we couldnt get thru everything in one session #clearly am hypermobile but not in the usual joints and not in the usual way #like...my sister would probably get the highest score on the beighton test (spelling ??) but also has no problems #meanwhile i would get a very low score but cant shift in bed without every joint subluxating #aaaanyway. ow.#am watching minecraft videos and spinning and very very hungry but :) cant make myself food as i can barely move #imagine having a carer #or like any support at all. in any way. imagine that #:/#spinning #flax #southdown #espinner #disability

#uriah heep #the magician's birthday #Roger Dean #This cover is so fucking sick #Roger Dean I owe u my life #This is one of my all-time faves but I still havent listened to it in full #The song “the magicians birthday” is the best song you can show to absolutely nobody #Except maybe to a dear friend in the presence of a phat joint

privilege and pain when compared look the same. comprehension begins when we pull back the lens. right or wrong, tension makes us stronger by making us weak when we needed to be... our fables tell our truths

I bought some long compression gloves and they arrive on Sunday and I’m so unbelievably excited!!! So many of my hobbies involve being able to use my hands and it has definitely done a number on my joints and I’m hoping this will help me be able to get back to doing the things I love without crying about how badly it hurts to do them!!

#crochet #joint pain #compression gloves #chronic illness #dysautonomia #tics #pots #tic disorder #editing videos for my personal hobbies and for my #college classes has been so painful #I just want to do my fun things without finger ow #i’m so excited #!!!!!!

Share some wisdom with a new cane user (please)

I'm usually quite private with my health but I have some questions that I'm hoping more experienced people can help me with lmao

I've had to buy a walking cane because my legs have gotten really bad over the past year and I was hoping for some tips or just anything people who use canes would be willing to share with me before my cane arrives. I only know a couple people around my age with canes or crutches but I'm nowhere near close enough to ask questions and I don't want to make them uncomfortable.

Any help or expectations or just about anything would be deeply appreciated <3

i'm lowkey scared that my connective tissue disorder will require me to get more treatment than physical therapy lol. i wanna get back into gymnastics so so bad but idk if my body can handle it, even though my physical therapist said to go for it :( it was so fun, i love flipping around and stuff but nowadays my vision goes dark for a couple seconds when i stand up too fast and my joints are always bugging me. if anyone has advice or words of encouragement i would love to hear it
