When it hurts, I rest so it hurts less, but after a while it ends up hurting even more. So then I start moving again, which temporarily relieves the pain, but after some time it starts hurting again. Does anyone else get stuck in this cycle too?
My diagnosis of suspected psoriatic arthritis was changed to “just joint degeneration,” so my doctor prescribed simpler painkillers and physiotherapy. This cycle has been repeating itself over the past few years. 😅
I’m not angry or sad anymore, just more bored and helpless. I know that being upset doesn’t get me anywhere and only drains my energy, so I’m just kind of existing.
