My job is definitely killing me
I work hospitality as a manager in a pub, i've noticed in say the last few months as my hours and length of shifts increased i am not recovering physically at all, i've finally caved to knee braces and other wearable supports. the problem is i am extremely good at my job and in a good place financially/socially, i don't want to give it all up but i cant keep losing all my days off writhing in pain because my body has finally relaxed. and i have adhd and i take elvanse for it which probably hasnt helped my sleep/recovery. its even worse when sitting down or standing still is objectively more uncomfortable in the moment than running around a bar but running around/walking about 17k steps daily is absolutely obliterating my joints even with custom insoles knee braces and a pretty serious painkiller regimen. its just all so tiring i dont understand why i was dealt this hand. especially being one of the only fairly strong guys there i end up dealing with the barrels and racking ales etc (average cask weighs about 52kg, and kegs about 70kg, 20 when empty) so its weird cause i can do these things and i have always been stronger than i appear for my size/weight, but i have noticed i physically struggle more with these longer hours especially the 14hr shift i get every week that kickstarts my week.
