    Every single person I’ve even spoken to makes me think that’s a lie.

    I don’t know anyone who isn’t in some form of constant pain.

      I used to not be in constant pain and many younger people aren’t.

      The reason why I’m now in mild pain a lot of the time is because I took up running this past spring. Ever since then, something always hurts… usually something in my feet but occasionally a knee will get injured or something.

      Exercise is good for you my ass!!!

      I had a particularly bad ingrown toenail removed once and my whole body suddenly relaxed. It felt like even my scalp was relaxing. I think chronic pain must be very stressful for your entire body.

      Physically I’m doing pretty good. I have a thing where my hip tightens up sometimes but that’s not constant. It’s the mental health that is a concern.

      I’m not. Closest is my IBS and a constant fear of being away from a toilet for long enough that it becomes an issue. Had the entire city mapped out for toilets when I had an on-site job. Then one fateful day, they closed a street, the tram had to go around and added 30 mins to the travel time. I saw it turn right instead od going forward and I have never felt such fear in my life since
