Yeah, I've been dealing with really bad leg pains for about a month now? I wanna say they started during/right after my last con, but it's very persistent sciatica as far as I know.

I really should've seen it coming. I'm not super active and I already have disc slippage in my spine so when I came home from uni and returned to my desk job? Yeah, it was only a matter of time. And with things like this I'm usually able to just shrugged it off and keep pushing forward until it fixes itself (i.e. my probably torn tendon in my foot a few months ago that I just kept walking on) but this one is actually gets dangerous sometimes (leg locks up right before going down a set of stairs) so it's not smth I can entirely ignore.

Also mentioned this in the doodle, but it hurts the worst when I sleep. Lately I've been deploying The Icepacks but sometimes That's not even enough. So rn I'm slowly figuring out a workout routine of sorts to get it back to normal but it's been taking a toll on me in the background of my everyday.

It's... not super relevant here since I'm somewhat still on hiatus but the fatigue certainly isn't helping my return, and if sitting/laying down hurts then it's getting painful for me to just do my hobbies too. Which is certainly not a unique struggle, but it's a struggle nonetheless lol. So, yeah!

I think I just needed to write this out somewhere and a lot of my irls have my main these days, so I thank y'all for bearing with my complaint post I suppose!
