I suffer from avascular necrosis, where my large bone joints are dying from a lack of blood flow. The bone breaks down (sever acute pain), chews the shit out of the cartilage (chronic inflammation pain), and movement exacerbates both. I still do the excises, as each joint will eventually be replaced, and strong muscles decrease dislocation chances, but this provides no pain relief, and only causes to fatigue the muscles. After 7 surgeries, 3 joint replacements, you begin to realize that the average person has no idea what pain is. A broken bone isn't pain, it's an inconvenience. I refuse to use opioids anymore, I can't code on them, they muddle your brain. But I wouldn't wish this life on anyone, not even the morons who glibly state that all you have to do is not take drugs.
