Worst sustained pain, over several months, a living 24/7 fucking nightmare: Os Trigonum

It's an extra bone in your ankle (less than 2% afflicted) that gets very aggravated with extend pointed feet, like when windsurfing for 30+ Years, then pops out and gets in the way of you Achilles heel tendon when you point your toes.

os trigonum syndrome?​

A painful os trigonum can occur from trauma, such as a fall or other accident, or repetitive stress on the back of your ankle can trigger the syndrome. For example, posterior ankle impingement is more common in ballet dancers and people who play kicking sports like soccer where the foot is regularly forced downwards. It also occurs more frequently in people who walk or run downhill a lot.

ANY POINTING of the foot would result in instant, fall to the ground pain. Sleep, nope. Drive, nope. Walk, nope. 3 months later the bone goes back in and I'm fine. Start windsurfing again... not so much.

Ever get cramps in your back foot and calf loading up your fin with your heel. Sometime get a cramp in the extended front foot, calf and thigh. I'd get those on 1/2 - one mile long speed runs, fairly painful but not near as painful as OS Trigonum Syndrome, would have to sail for the shallows or the beach, get off, grab the boom pick up board, walk stiff legged into the beach, stand on the ball of my foot and toes till the cramp went away.

Within a couple days of getting to ADAK NAS, on 10 Jan 73, a whiteout blizzard blew on and off for a couple days. Stuck in the upper floor of the barracks, where I got caught up in a poker game for several days, only taking break to go to the chow hall, in the same Bering Hill Barracks and Galley.

Don't know how I got it, but I did and the small base hospital, didn't have any empty beds. They took me back to the Bering Hill Barracks, and helped me into my bunk, had the Master at Arms duty section check on me and fill my water container.

Had a hell of a fever and delerious for a weekend and several days after, only enough strength to stagger down the hall with a Master at Arms duty section enlisted help, to go to the can, then fill my water container, and stagger back to my room with help, and fall into bed. Go to sleep, drift into just enough consciousness to gulp down water. Finally so delirious, I couldn't walk down the hall with help, they had to bring a container for me to piss in. Never been that sick before or since. Don't remember much pain, just the pure exhaustion, and struggle to bring my self out of sleep just to pee.

been microdosing psilocybin for 15 years. It definitely helps the body better manage chronic pain, for me at least. The number of people who are doing it has skyrocketed.

Been macrodosing every now and then for 50 years. Cows around here cultivate the fuckers. Fucking drug addicts.

Not sure I get the micro modern thing except for pain maybe ... but for the rest of the pony-tailed fuckers, I think it's just another drug they should not be taking at work, a trendy rather then a useful thing.

I think MDMA has good portential for PTSD. Some progress being made here.

TGA approves psilocybin and MDMA for use in treating depression and PTSD​

My wife actually had sympathy for me rather than playing the "it can't be worse than childbirth" card, so I must have looked pretty bad. I remember the pain being bad enough to vomit a few times... and then I remember the ER going pretty fast from diagnosis to quarantine. It's pretty scary when the docs are all suited up because they don't know if you have the kind that kills people or not. I remembered spinal taps as being something people feared as painful, and I remember not even feeling the spinal tap with all the pain meds they were giving me... It was quite a relief to eventually find out it wasn't bacterial (the kind that kills people). It was also a nice relief when the docs cleared me to fly out for the Block Island Race that I had been planning to do with my dad the following weekend.

As I recall I had Viral meningitis - it wasn't pleasant by a long shot.

Round and about
I am so upset right now to have learnt that my dear friend killed themselves this week. All the others have killed themselves in the last few years. That for me the the real pain, losing so many friends and trying to stay alive. This shit grinds you down. It means I am the only one left out of my group, and I'm not proud of that. I am so sad and in tears, but trying to hang on.
