‘The stories of one of the most influential cities in the world…. Atlanta"

But living with pain 24/7 is a completely different thing. Because it's not exactly like "ouchie leg hurt" it's like... You can feel your bones, muscle, tendons, skin, separately hurting in different ways ALL THE GODAMN DAY. ALL NIGHT LONG. on top of that? You gotta smile and be kind, you gotta go to work, you gotta go to school and try to ignore other people making fun of you for using a cane, crutches, wheelchair, stroller, knee braces, etc.

And also, you gotta hear them say "oh but you're too young!" "You don't look disabled to me." "But you could walk just fine yesterday!" And them trying to diagnose you with complete bullshit. Trying to tell you you should try this or do that.

And then when you get home, you don't get to rest, why? Because it hurts. You just spent HOURS in pain and you're exhausted. And now your body hurts even more now. And guess what? You gotta do it all over again tomorrow.

I am fully physically abled - I have no physical conditions, but I do have other conditions - but I have had back pain as long as I can remember (well going on 23 years now, since before I was 10). It hurts my muscles, it hurts my spine, my hip and my leg, but there is absolutely nothing physically wrong - they've looked.

Saying abled people “don't understand what it's like to have pain” is an ignorant statement.
