Shoulder Arthritis
Tumblr media
Simply defined, arthritis is inflammation of one or more of your joints. Arthritic shoulder can be the cause of pain and stiffness during your activities of daily living.
Anatomy
Your shoulder is made up of three bones: your upper arm bone (humerus), your shoulder blade (scapula), and your collarbone (clavicle). The head of your upper arm bone fits into a rounded socket in your shoulder blade. This socket is called the glenoid. The bones never come in contact with each other. This is due to the presence of a smooth slippery substance on the inside of each bone, which acts like a cushion. It is called cartilage. The inside of the joint is lined by a thin membrane called the synovial membrane. This membrane releases a fluid that lubricates the cartilage and reduces friction. A combination of muscles and tendons keeps your arm bone centered in your shoulder socket. These tissues are called the rotator cuff.
Description
Five major types of arthritis typically affect the shoulder.
Osteoarthritis
Also known as “wear-and-tear” arthritis, it is a condition that destroys the smooth covering (articular cartilage) of bone. As the cartilage wears away, it becomes frayed and rough, and the protective space between the bones decreases. During movement, the bones of the joint rub against each other, causing pain.

My bones ache in such a way that
Only the dead,
Only the dying,
Or the chronically ill
Could possibly understand.
But, still life has it's demands.
      My spirit reeks of defeat and decay
             As those around me merrily go about their day.
I smile through the tears, grit my teeth and I push through,      
       all while they haven't got a clue,
              But  truly would I really want them to?
Pity me and treat me differently?
       Look at me as less than or incapable
              Unfortunate or unable....
                     I'm certainly not the same,  but fuck if I'll be treated as the lazy or the lame.
It's my burden to bear. From those I don't know, the grief I can spare.
It makes getting close to anyone a risk that I just wouldn't dare.
And those who knew me before,  well they don't know me anymore.
When you're in a constant state of ache, there isn't any room left on your plate for other people's mundanes.
Just how much we take for granted, when we think we'll always be here to withstand it.

Compression Gloves
To any one who's used compression gloves before: did they cause more pain? I had a little haul from amazon and I had bought compression gloves. I tried them on and they immediately started giving my fingers more pain. They were too big on my thumbs so they didn't do anything to it, but I took it off after a few minutes because they were hurting so much. They didn't feel too tight either so I'm not sure why they were causing more pain.
I also bought another wrist brace since I lost one of mine. Still helping like before which is nice. I can stop using sports wrap instead now lmao.
I also got this gel wrist brace? It was only $15 so I wanted to see if they worked. They did absolutely nothing to support my wrist or hands. It just felt awkward. Looking online, I can see more reviews also saying they ripped too quickly or they were too small. I have tiny hands so I didn't have these issues. But I'm definitely not going to use them.

Guess who had a mental breakdown this evening because she's sick & tired of feeling nothing but pain and having to take a cocktail of drugs just to move or enjoy any of her life, having to use a cane at 25 just to get around the house....?
I did.
My 6 year old had to comfort me, snuggling me, telling me it was okay, bringing me Kleenex.... it's sad my child is the one who has to show me support & compassion. Not the docs, or specialist, or my family. My 6 year old son.

I'm just so damn tired.

This week is invisible disabilities and invisible illnesses awareness week. So many people suffer from illnesses that affect them but other people are unaware at how much their daily life is affected because these illnesses may leave no outer sign. When young people have any of this illnesses they may be called lazy, attention seekers or other mean things. It is important to be aware of these illnesses

All alone in the World!
I’ve been having weird things happening for the last several years. Things that makes you aware that something is wrong with yourself. I’ve been going through a lot of testing and currently my doctor thinks it’s autoimmune like RA or MS.
If you are going through excruciating pain that nobody else has had, they don’t understand. The fatigue, the muscle spasms, losing your voice, or having difficulty speaking isn’t something normal people understand. Then hearing that you may have a disease that will change your life forever and you’ll never be ‘normal’ is horrific. I just wanted to be like I was.
