Was hit bad on the head 5 weeks ago and developed neck pain on week 3. Its burning, radiates into my upper traps and feel it in my head. Neck has been stiff, achey, cracks a ton.

No amount of stretching has helped. Muscle relaxers/ibuprofen dont do much.

I havent been to PT yet cause its hard to get it figured out with workers comp (injury from work). Im moving states soon for a new job and worried about this ongoing pain.

(I have a lot of other lingering symptoms too but I think it could be related to neck).

Basically...did you need any further scans and would that be of any importance to pursue? Did PT alone help you?, did self exercises or lifestyle changes help any?

Exactly this. Emphasis on friendship because expectations might be different from a romantic partner.

I have VERY few people I talk to in my life, so each person has a strong importance to me. And i dont know how to react yet cause i am healing cptsd and attachment issues.

Situation: This friend was one of the closest that I could be myself with and be vulnerable. We called on the phone fairly regularly and messaged frequently.

I knew they had some real life projects/gigs coming up where they'd be pretty busy for a while. But they stopped replying to my messages for 4 weeks and counting. I have sent out a few since, normal things and not anything showing anxiety/concern.

I see that they are online on WhatsApp several times a day, and they still post IG stories of the events. So they are on their phone and alive.

Basically... I want to know what a securely attached person's reaction to sudden ghosting by a friend would be.

I am sensitive to things cause of my past and dont know what normal is. My go to reactions are....either cut someone off/disappear myself and go full hermit (more so when i was younger), or , cause I have very few connections, easily jump right back into chatting with no real conversation or grudge. Lately its been more the latter. Im like a dog that forgives and forgets and let's people do the same thing over and over. They throw me a bone (a single reply and maybe a sorry) and i take it and were back to normal. And i can talk about my life/myself again no reservations.

Only my body still remembers it probably, and when I am being ghosted, it sucks. I feel not only very low priority to the person, but like not respected enough to say "hey I might not be able to chat much for a few weeks but I still care about you and want to talk when things slow down".

Any thoughts?

Hey all. So im moving for a seasonal job June through mid september. Gonna be in Seward/around that region.

Im asking this question because its a very different region/climate to what I am used to and there may be things I am not aware of.

Also while i hope I can buy most necessities there, things may be more expensive (or maybe harder to acquire?), so i am mainly wondering if there are things you would recommend buying or making sure you have BEFORE moving to that region?

I am gonna spend a lot of time outdoors for my job and in my free time.

Hey so I got a bad concussion at work 4/5 weeks ago.

Im dealing with a LOT of symptoms still and it impacts my daily life. About every symptom in the book, on top of specific neck pain causing more. I had preexisting tmj issues too that worsened and cause me nerve spasms in my face and a lot of pain and aching and inner ear issues too.

Daily headaches, vertigo, nausea, light and sound sensitivity, inner ear pressure and popping and pain, dizziness, lightheadeness, etc. It goes on. Im in pain most of the day.

Im moving states far away and starting a new job very soon though. I am worried about PCS affecting my work abilities and about looking obviously in pain or struggling at work , beyond normal people's experience. How do I even hide this?

Should I tell the new employer about it off the bat? My concussion is documented with workers comp and everything. I dont know if any accomodations can be made or what that could even be, but it would give me relief to know people are aware and might give some grace or I could communicate to switch tasks/take a break if my pain is bad.
