RE: Quick! Somebody pass me a Senzu bean! - My Struggle with Pain

in #chronicpain5 years ago

So, I have what is called degenerative disc disease which basically means my spinal discs are going to crap.

Been living with this since 2016, it's called getting ancient and there's not a lot we can do.

Sitting down hurts, standing is better, lying down can hurt at times. It changes over the years, sometimes for the good, or otherwise.

Sort:  

My office just equipped me with a Varidesk which allows me to alternative from sitting and standing.

If you spend a lot of time at a desk, I would def recommend looking into it.

Another thing is a decompression belt. They have some on eBay that work great but, in my case,I gotta be careful with the placement. It seems I have the belt too low that it may mess with my hip issues.

The only downside is wearing the belt really reduces my stealth stats. I mean, when I let the air out of the belt, my boss can hear it from across the room! Forget it if I ever have to undo the Velcro. My cover would be totally blown!

Guess, I'll have to put my dreams of being a professional ninja to the side. Wasn't meant to be I guess.

They do that here, but only if your a permanent worker. I'm a dirty contractor and cant demand such things.

Your stealth stats?
