Really sharp sudden pain but it only last for a few seconds; the positive is that it’s only for a short time so I’m trying to work on keeping that in made.
That the pain will pass.
But it doesn’t feel true to other pain like my knee that hurts everyday and has been for years, I don’t mean to always complain about it but it’s always there so it’s always on my mind in a way.
Though today was more of fatigue than pain, I try to get some good sleep but it never works as I get so tired after just an hour of being awake.
Tasks make me even more exhausted.
It’s not severe but sometimes my limbs feel so heavy and I have to drag them to get anything done because they also feel so weak.
I know it could be because of my inactivity but being active makes things worse even though I do want to be active.
I want to do things like other people do things.
But my body just doesn’t allow it and it’s something I’m trying to accommodate for.
Like stretching, it might not be much but it makes me feel more productive.
Trying not to be so hard on myself is my daily win. 🦋
