stick it out. you can sit on your couch in pain for a few hours or you can work and get paid for a few hours. at the end of the day your pain will never go away. I like to pretend like i’m not hurting and continue my day until i get home

I stick it out. With chronic pain, it just keeps coming back, so where does one draw the line? I'm going to hurt a lot regardless, so I might as well get paid while I'm suffering. I take acetaminophen and try to limit movement, and then take it easy when I get home.
