you are inferior, so that I can be superior.

anyone has had the prime of their lives ruined?

>inguinal hernia
>1 month wait before operation, 6 weeks no weightlifting after

Eh, could be worse

Look man, real talk, that's some hard shit.

There's no good or happy answers for that situation, but the only advice i could possibly give you is to try and find something that really makes you happy that doesn't take a lot of physical requirements.

Examples are things like Dungeons and Dragons (inb4 I'm a gay nerdy faggot), or reading/writing hobbies, etc.

I don't know whether you're now liable for disability payments with that shit, but if you're gonna keep living, you're definitely going to have to work through this shit mate.

>inguinal hernia

squats do this?

What about platelet/cadaver injections?

Are you cute ? i'll be your bf and take care of you, forever

thanks. I've hopped on the disability payments and atm i just sit around all day reading and playing video games. i have to find something else though because this lifestyle is wearing thin.

my doctor has never mentioned it. upon googling it it seems it hasnt been extensively studied for rheumatoid arthritis.

im kind of cute, i would like that

WHY I CAN'T HAVE A CUTE BF

I could imagine it would be; It would be a very hard transition from being active to just sitting around. Have you been able to try hot water swimming (at an aquatic centre), and seen how that goes for inflammation? I know it's not much, but it might at the very least allow you to try and swim/do aerobics.

Overall though mate, hopefully you're seeing professional help (therapist), not in too much pain (hopefully painkillers help), and are able to find something sedentary that helps you maintain a sense of self-worth and purpose man.

Also, do you have a supportive social group to help you through this shit?

Just thought of a good hobby, try music. Like piano/guitar or something like that, it could be a really good emotional outlet for you as well, and it could be something to help you focus on

>no weightlifting after

lol wut? I had a bilateral inguinal, got the surgery, surgeon said I could lift after recovery and have been lifting heavy with no problems 2 years later.

Are you not getting a permanent net?

fucking kek'd

thanks user

might be because i suck dick at swimming that i never thought of trying this, but it actually seems like a nice idea now.

>piano
also something i could seem myself doing. i suppose ive been too busy feeling sorry for myself to think of these things. thanks man, means a lot

Anytime man, just glad that you're willing to keep trying to live mate. And don't think that you can't lose any weight you've gained either, you can still be sedentary and lose weight, so not all hope is lost.

But I really do hope that these things help you, and that in the future you might still be able to be happy.

Sometimes I feel like shit and want to kill myself until I read shit like this and realize I'm just being a pussy.
Thanks OP, your misfortune made me feel better about myself. I hope you recover some day and if not, I hope you find a new path in life.

>gym going great, no injuries
>back a bit sore from sitting in office 10 hours a day
>go to chop some wood for bbq
>as i swing smt in my middle back fucks up and i had to go lay down from the pain
>2 days later and my back ( or spine) is still sore, some movements hurt
being 26 fucking sucks, what did i snap?

inb4 the auto immune disease is psoriasis

If you've injured your spine mate, you'll wanna go get an x-ray. Don't pussyfoot around with that shit. You've already got so many disks and disk related problems (slipped disk, poor/decaying cartilage, scoliosis, etc.) that is could be, so just go and get an x-ray, and don't put stress on your back if you can help it.

you're welcome lmao

maybe slipped a disc or something man, probs look into that before it gets worse

rheumatoid arthritis is the autoimmune disease

Dammit user, now I am hungry.

Go to the doctor and get yourself examined. No fucking around with back problems.

Also, when you are in the office try to have mini breaks every 30-35 minutes. Just get up and walk for 5 minutes, get a glass of water or whatever you fancy. If you can that is.

>24, IT tech here

Get well soon brah , you should give biofeedback and neurofeedback a try. Helped me a lot

what was your condition?

Sorry to hear that man. I have chronic back pain with no established cause and have to take pain meds every day just to get through work. Pales in comparison to what you're going through though. Wish you all the best and my gf works in biomechatronics so maybe one day she'll help make you into the terminator

Go to med school, get addicted to pain meds and lead the best diagnostics division in the country.

Well yes I did do squats. Went from nothing to 2 plates in a month (5x5). Perhaps it was too much for my groin.

No weightlifting for 6 weeks. That's pretty normal for recovery time, no?

thanks man, take care of your gf for my sake lmao

this is plan c
