Those occasional weeks of Hashimotos-related arthralgia that are so bad it’s like random sets of my joints are being yanked apart and twisted sound, even after all of the OTC painkillers I can take - but I power through work and the gym anyway so nobody thinks it’s a big deal. And my doctor is a putz who thinks anyone who isn’t a big tough guy is exaggerating about pain anyway.
@hacks4pancakes Unfortuately, pain is a very personal thing, and that 1-10 scale is worthless for anthing more than explaining changes in your personal pain. One last useless comment - pain is just a reminder that you are still alive
