In my mid 40's, I woke up one morning when my legs were stiff and I can't walk. There's an excruciating pain to any slight movement that can twitch my face making me scream in frustration.

I called my brother who was just a few blocks from my house to send me pain reliever. I took it and slept for 2 hours, thinking I might not ever walk again.

Surprisingly, everything was back to normal after waking up like nothing really happened.

Last year in August, my left knee got swollen and it was aspirated. Still on medication that gives relief but still painful. Been 8 months...

Sigh. I hope this ends so I can function normally.

Iv had a herniated disc in my lower spine. I slept on my side in fetal position with a pillow between my legs for months. Everyday after work id bend over a chair and dangle my upper body to create separatation. When its supper tight all day to the point you can hardly stay upright then you dangle is SO relieving.

When i was a kid i slid on my knees landing on a small piece of metal and wrecked some cartilage. Took like 10 years heal to the point i didnt notice it much. I wore a knee brace often. These days my knees are wearing down from years of framing.

Emotional damage is undiscribable. I deal with symptoms of ptsd. My personality was destroyed when i was 28. Havent recovered yet.

@GuyWithOpinions sorry that you must suffer in a way that nobody should at a very young age, til now.
I hope healing be bestowed upon you in all aspects. I complain about my pain but yours is too much to bear. Here's my virtual (((HUG))).
