Dealing with Chronic Pain in Grad School

Anyone else in school or have been in school with chronic pain? I’m in grad school and I’m just feeling overwhelmed with that on top of what feels like a whole other degree of chronic pain. Any tips?

I consistently take the elevator no matter the looks I get of “appearing normal”

Me too. I have to go up three flights of stairs to get to my first class, I have horrible joint problems and don’t have an elevator pass so I am in pain all day just from that. It has always helped to speak to the dean or principal or whatever and tell them. I really enjoyed online school because I don’t have to walk much.

Omg saaaaame! I’m in grad school and doing practicum and dealing with chronic pain on top of everything has been a lot! Always open to chat and commiserate lol. But definitely speak with professors about extensions and see if you have a disability services at your school that can verify your right to extensions and exceptions to certain things
