At first I thought, what a weird topic. And then I realized... I can talk about my shoulder! My left shoulder. It's had an odd pain that feels like it's right where the arm fits into the socket. It doesn't hurt all the time, but I've noticed my range of motion is a bit more restricted. If I ever get around to seeing a doctor I'll ask about it.
Well, I had issues with a quack of a dr. after my first son was born. I had ecclampsia and toxemia through my last few months. Unfortunately, the drs didn't take care of that and 2 days after being released I ended up seizing at my parent's home. I know I wasn't feeling well since being released as I suffered migraines since about 11 yrs old, so I brushed it off as that. I suffer anxiety and panic attacks which now are a bit calmer than it was. I replay that instance of me going through that over and over in my head. Add a bit more depression on that since my panic attacks made me homebound for a long time and also was cause of my divorce (ex was a pussy and couldn't take me having attacks).

Fast forward 2 yrs - about a month having my other son, I had a bad fall at the house we were living in at the time. I was carrying my 2 yr old and my foot caught up in a hole in the steps my landlady didn't fix. So I hurt both my ankles and hurt my back pretty bad as I tried to stop the fall with all my might. The ER dr. didn't even care to Xray my back though I did complain about it; he just touched it and said it was alright. Both my ankles were ok to say the least. I had pulled the muscles and tendons and did some nerve damage. Every time I walked on them I felt the pain from it. I haven't had my back checked out since and suffer with it locking up and in pain from it. I've been bedridden for a week at the most and couldn't move without screaming and crying in pain.

TLDR: I suffer some mental issues due to dr. negligence, moderate to severe back pain, and on top of that I suffer from adult onset asthma (which was my calling card to quit smoking- 10 yrs smoke free!), last year I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and high cholesterol (which all is under control but I blame my ex for causing the stress that brought it on!)

OCD. I've had it to some extent for as long as I can remember, but the severity comes and goes and lately it's been a nightmare. On a waiting list for CBT for it, as I'm not keen on medication and I'd like to try other options first.

Some of the stuff posted makes me feel bad for even moaning about it though. I hope everyone gets better soon.

Batman, is that you?

(sorry, situation that would go well with some levity)

iainmet: Yeah basically, one day to much to drink (he was an alcoholic, drank between 3 and 4 litres a day) and my mother was really ill. Got home from work 30 mins early on this day. He thought I was skipping work and laid into me, bruised all my throat and fractured my cheek bone also from a kick in the face. Needless to say he got prosecuted for it shortly afterwards. My mother divorced him and he got locked up for six months. He died a few year ago and I did not attend the funeral.

He had knocked me down onto the floor and put my face on the side of a bed, then knee into my lower back and started pulling on my neck with his forearms bending me backwards. Still haunts to to this day at times.

I guess it has made me a better person for it, when my kids are acting up I would never think of laying a hand on them.

Life goes on though, get by. Thankfully I can still get about, only downside is I had to leave a decent high paid job last year in I.T as I cant stand for to long or sit in the same position for to long either.
Well, it's good you didn't propagate the behavior, because it can go either way.

A strong contrast with my adoptive father.

He's the most even tempered person I know. Sometimes, he has this nervous energy and gets agitated (which really gets on my nerves), but I've never seen him scream (beyond calling for someone) in my life.

He's even had a calming effect on my ma which has a stronger temperament (never got physical, but when she got angry, she'd sometimes call me names and keep going and going and going until I'd have a mini-breakdown... to this day, I have zero patience with temperamental women because of my experience with her... she has more than her fair share of good sides mind you, but I can only handle one such woman in my life).

So much in our lives is out of our control I suppose. It's very arbitrary.

I have acid reflex but it's not as bad as other people have it and right now, it seems like I don't even have it!

Migraine today. :(
I'm neither sick nor injured, but I've got diabetes and I'm diagnosed with asperger syndrome, that good enough?

I barely avoided Diabetes but i'm an asperger too.
The USA, the home of home of the brave and the land of diabetes. :P

somegamer786: the land of diabetes. :P
Type 2 diabetes, perhaps. I'm a "proud" type 1.
Hmm, I got a fair list:

I've also got asthma, had it since i was about 3 or so maybe younger. I've got ulcers in my duodenum the combined size of a grapefruit or or orange or whatever which I was diagnosed after they completely fubar'd the first time looking.

I am missing a piece of my knee due to an injury from when I used to do half pipe tricks. I have a prosthetic tooth and a scar through my lip from standing up for someone. I'm partially deaf due to severe hearing damage when I was younger but emergency surgery recovered about 80 or 85% of my hearing.

I have OCD in that I compulsively stack and order things as well as clean my hands. I also have Hashimoto's disease (which causes hypothyroidism) which brought it's own slew of annoying problems.

TL;DR: Wow I'm pretty broken, haha, but as my grandpa used to say "any day above ground is a good day". Reading some of the injuries others have incurred I don't feel so bad about my petty issues.
I got Pac-Man fever.

Sing-a-long everybody, it will make you feel better!

You win!

I'm dealing with some lower back problems, completely of my own doing, currently manifesting itself in a pinched sciatic nerve. This is one those nerve bundles that runs down each leg and it can get the squeeze put on it from one of the lower back joints or down in the hip. I have some inflammation in both spots and these are causing the problem. Been stretching and icing, and it has gotten much better over the last few weeks with the help of my chiropractor.
