I just wanted to share my experience recently. I was going to make a funny comic to make light of it but I’m so drained and honestly I can’t bring myself to pick up the tablet.
I have chronic pain and kidney stones and recently I purchased a cane to help me when my leg gives out, or just to help me feel like less pressure is being put on my back when I walk.
It was really life changing how much I didn’t hurt when I walked with a cane. It helped me feel secure and lighter.
Then I went to two WV doctors for blood tests, who tried to “catch me in a lie” with where I’m having pain even though I said it’s in my back and legs. The pain fluctuates with flare ups. The second doctor didn’t even give me a blood test and I was being scolded so much for my cane I couldn’t even bring myself to argue back.
They told me it will “make me disabled forever” - so now it’s in the back of my car. I couldn’t ask any other questions because they’d belittle me in their tone, and I can’t handle that. I’m going to have to go back to walking with pain and not knowing if I’ll have to limp up the stairs.
This is going to put a lot of stress on me especially in my current living situation. I don’t know what to trust or if the cane would really truly hurt me. It just sucks that the one comfort I had other than pain meds is apparently a threat to my health.
I know I’m building a brand and need to stay consistent and positive. To any new followers: posts like these aren’t common and I try to keep my personal life away from my content. But when something like this happens I feel like it’s important to say why content may be less consistent. It’s been less consistent for a while now already, but this is just adding onto it.
Thank you for being patient with my uploads. Maybe I’ll steam more for content, but you’ll all have to let me know what you’d want to see.
Thank you for your continued support.
