My little dwarf with a pick axe has been very active these past two months. I am still averaging 2-4 health appointments a week.
This results in HIP Days. (High Impact Pain Days) It's my way of using some humor for pain.

My little dwarf with a pick axe has been very active these past two months. I am still averaging 2-4 health appointments a week. Next week I have five appointments that conclude with an MRI next Saturday. The following week begins with a bang and another full appointment with my GP about the ER fiasco. So I'm stressed out from doing too much and that results in HIP Days. (High Impact Pain Days) This is my way of using some humor for pain. #PainAwarenessMonth #PAM2026 #MySeveralWorlds #ChronicPainIs #LifeWithPain

"I think that it's really important for people to realize that being disabled is traumatic. Genuinely. Your body and brain feel like they are breaking down and wrong. You are in constant heavy stress from stuff like chronic pain. most disabled people I know have a somewhat regular emotional break down from the trauma of it all. And we are expected to just smile through it by society, to not be in the way, to not be an issue."

🪓 Who is with me on the 'dwarf with a pick axe' pain? This time of year is always brutal!

I made an image for a fan of this page. Sandie's words to describe pain earlier this month were, "That would be "my little dwarf with a pick axe" pain..."

Perfect IMO!

🪓 Who is with me on the 'dwarf with a pick axe' pain? This time of year is always brutal! I made an image for a fan of this page. I can't tag her as we're not friends but her words resonated deeply enough that I had to create it in detail. Sandie's words to describe pain earlier this month were, "That would be "my little dwarf with a pick axe" pain..." So appropriate!

It's the last day of #PainAwarenessMonth so #LetsTalkAboutPain. Tell me what your number is on this pain scale. I'll start: My numbers are 10-13 every single day all month with 💩 hitting the fan in the late afternoon and drilling me through until 'bed time'. I'll be honest: I have suffered these past five weeks since my flight. Every day I've wondered how much more I can take! Let's move on to our more realistic chronic pain scale: 0-2 Really?! I didn't know this even existed. 3-4 My normal every day / lower normal. Can almost function as a normal person and very easy to hide. 5-6 Annoying. Also my normal on the medium day or after a busy day. Can normally continue every day things and can be hidden pretty well. 7-9 Angry. Irritable. Can be my background during high pain days. Often a warning of what is to come and when the mask starts to slip. Should plan to be home or close to home. Will be around close friends who understand only. 10-12 Nope. Intermittent crying. This is high background pain with multiple spasms / shocks an hour. Will need to go home now and will only be around those closest to me. Probably in bed resting. 13+ No words to describe. Uncontrolled. Inconsolable or silent. Unable to move. Should probably see a doctor but I never do. It will pass! Credit @PinkyAndThePain Other than talking about being outside my home and around other people I'd say this paint scale is pretty accurate. #PAM2025 #MySeveralWorlds #ChronicPainIs uncontrolled this month.

"All types of pain are horrible. Sometimes it's the deep aching in your bones pain that finally breaks you. The pain that no matter what you, how many painkillers you take, it never goes away. It just wears you down slowly with its ever-presence."

Pain patients give up everything to fight pain. From a mental perspective, #ChronicPain is a battlefield. It's easy to lose your sense of self & your purpose. I'm not afraid to talk about my life with pain. If my story reaches one person, I've succeeded.
