Do you feel like you are always in some kind of pain?

F*ck, is this a normal part of getting older?  I feel like there is always something wrong with me.  Headaches, migraines, cramps, backache, sore neck, etc.  I mean, every other day I'm sitting there thinking "man, this hurts, I should take something, or get a warm compresse".  I even have a sore bumhole FCS, and it is sadly not from anal sex!

I eat healthy (well, mostly), exercise, sleep well.  This should not be happening all the time!  Too much computer work combined with whacked out hormones and normal aging? Ugh.

(yes, this was a total whiny post.  I'm having a drink which will hopefully put me in a better mood.  I have really bad low abdomen cramps right now that go all teh way to my back, and a headache just for the extra fun) 

Re: Do you feel like you are always in some kind of pain?

  • Yeah, I feel ya. And it hurts. 
  • Poor poodle. I understand your pain. I've got a weird back pain and I'm not sure what it is. Maybe strain from lifting the car seat? I originally thought it might be related to the epidural placement, but I doubt it and it's been 7 weeks now.

    Sounds like you need a solid benedryl sleep to me! Or a good robaxacet sleep. lol

  • lol jules, maybe plain old drunken sleep?  Ok, not really, I have to work tomorrow.  I'll take some advil and go to bed early.  

    Oh and it could definitely be the carseat.  God, I hated that thing so much!  It weighs a million lbs even without a baby.   

  • lol How about a partially drunken sleep? Hmmm...maybe I'll partake in a glass myself. haha

    I even bought a "lightweight" car seat. The Britax was way lighter than the others I looked at. Now J is about 10 lbs. I started lifting weights again today to regain my strength. I'm such a weakling these days. lol

    Sh*t we are all fuccked.  Maybe I should just start drinking more.   

  • Yes, but only since having Audrey. It's been something ever since - mostly bad back pain.

    *The nestie formerly known as Jenbabe*
  • More often than not, but it it really is my fault.

    I've been getting a lot of headaches lately, but I think most of the time, it is because I fail to keep my blood sugar steady.  I'll go HOURS without anything but coffee and then wind up with a pounding headache.

    I could probabaly improve the condition of my lower back by doing some ab work, but yeah, that's not happening.

    LOL

    getting old sucks!

    getting old sucks!

    Yes! I'm starting to understand why my 88 year old grandma is always complaining about pain all over and various health issues.  I will be a total whiner by the time I'm 88, I already have a head start! 

  • I'm not always in pain but I do feel like I'm constantly battling some ailment. Just last night I was reading the back of the Metamucil container with my first ever pair of reading glasses as H was drinking his joint juice and he looked at me and said "Damn, we're getting old". LOL. We totally are.

  • I generally feel some level of discomfort at all times.  If it isn't my back or my butt (I feel ya Papie!), its my knees or my super dry and cracking fingertips.

  • Yes and I'm not even old yet lol. I have shoulder pain in my left shoulder only. I already went to months and months of therapy and it didn't help. If I use my left shoulder I get a burning, stinging pain that will only go away if I lay or sit down. I just finished therapy and have an appointment with my doctor to see what the next step is.

    yep. My H calls me out on it ALL the time, but whatever.

  • Yes, I'm in a constant state of discomfort. My back hurts me greatly 90% of the time unless I pop Advil constantly. My eyes itch violently. I'm not sure if it's allergies or something else. Drops don't do any good. When I say violently, I mean violent. It's torture. I rub them so much, I'm starting to notice damage around my eyes and eyelides from me rubbing and scratching so much. They're also bloodshot 100% of the time. I'm also starting to get migraines about 3 times a week. Advil doesn't do anything for it. I'm not sure if it's my eyes or the computer. I mean, why wouldn't it be every day if it was because of the computer. It's weird.
  • Only for about the last 7 months since I developed my muscle knots in my right shoulder/neck. Before that I've always been healthy. It sucks. In a sense I've learned to live with it but there are still some days where I'm so effin miserable from it and sometimes I'll cry because Tylenol doesn't even help and I have limited options right now. I haven't lost hope yet though. It can go away one day.

     But then there's that fear too. I'm just getting older what next will appear ya know?

  • Blue it sounds like allergies or dry eyes. You probably need something stronger than over the counter drops. Have you been to an opthomaligist lately? I probably spelled that wrong.

  • Hello... two knee replacements in the last year and a half... other than that I'm mostly pain free except for the occasional headache....
  • Since I started power yoga and bar method, yes - I always feel that I'm in pain. I'm pretty sure the instructor is trying to kill me slowly. 
  • Hey now. Mines not from age. I know the cause. Lol.

  • Yes, I have arthritis though so its to be expected.  

    You know how someone was saying last month that they were walking around like a grandma because of their hips?  Yeah, that is me almost everyday if I have been sitting for a while.   Dh calls me grandma sometimes.

    I have problems with dry and cracked fingertips at times. I use Aveeno Intense Relief Hand Cream and it works wonders. For the cracked fingertips, I use a sealant that goes on the cracks like a nail polish. It keeps it from cracking anymore and helps it heal.

  • Yep, my back and my neck are always bothering me to some degree....with additional ailments thrown in for good measure here and there.  It's about how tolerable it is.  My threshold has definitely gotten much higher.  I often wonder how much worse I'd feel if I wasn't in somewhat decent shape.

    Oh and my feet! I used to be able to run in three inch heels, now I wear thick running shoes most of the time. I am going to soak in a hot tub.

  • Acupuncture - it really helps!

  • I sometimes feel achy, or have a headache o something, but most days I feel somewhere between fine and great. I'm 36, eat healthy food, don't smoke get a lot of light exercise regularly, but I don't work out like a fiend or anything. 

    Are you sure you aren't under too much stress or depression? 

    "pudding is the chess of jello"
  • Yes. In a weird way, this post makes me feel better though- I'm glad not to be alone!
