Just I thought followers here should but I have been fairly sick for a bit.

TLDR: My legs, particularly my knees and ankles, have been in pain for the past 9 or so days and it really sucks.

For over about a week now my legs have been in increasing amounts of discomfort and pain. During most of the day it can be mild mild discomfort, but at times it's just pure pain, especially at night, sometimes it would be impossible to ignore; I'd spend most of it tossing and turning, trying to support my legs with pillows, sleeping in different positions etc. One day I was woken up in the middle of the night it was so bad, and for 45 minutes I tossed and turned unable to go back to sleep.

The pain is mostly just in my knees and ankles, and occasionally I can feel in my my lower thighs and calves. I've been able to take pain pills to ease the pain and they worked really well at first, but now they don't do quite as much nor last as long. Though granted they aren't hard pain killers, they're basically just Aspirins, but they worked so-

Lately now my neck and head have been in pain too, my neck feels thick and heavy and I don't have the same range of motion, and my head feels like it could explode, and my eyes feel constantly strained. I have to be careful how I walk, not just for my legs, but because sometimes if I take the wrong step or step too hard I can feel all of that force being sent to my head and the bottom of my neck. I can even feel my headache in my teeth. And now for the past few hours I've been feeling like I could throw up.

The best way I could describe the pain in my legs is like heavy strain after a long run, that just never goes away. However this morning when I woke up that feeling wasn't there and it felt more like someone smashed me knees and ankles, it was pretty bad.

I really wanna (need to) see a doctor, and we do plan to but I have to wait a bit as we don't have any money for it right now, the plan is to go to a Walk-in Clinic and get X-Rays, amongst hopefully other things. However if the pain does ever get to bad we're straight to the emergency room.

Sorry if this a bit out of nowhere and feels melancholic, but I also have been talking about it else where, figured it best to keep people here informed; but don't worry as I am not 😅. I am, and I want the pain to go away, but I've also never been type to worry or panic too much as it often doesn't help, so I sorta just exist, don't get me wrong I do hope I get better soon, because this sucks; at the same time though I remain rather calm.

What does suck though is that I have been a bit paranoid, because of a video I saw, where a guy went to bed to sleep off some head and neck pain, and it turned out he was having a brain aneurism, and I've been thinking about that nonstop; and today I recently found out that someone I knew from school had unfortunately passed away from cancer, so naturally it's been implanted in my head that I could have cancer. It's always the big C that scares people. I highly doubt that it's cancer (hopefully it isn't), but I don't think it's much of an irrational fear to have at the moment.

Just wanted to let people here know what was going on, and I'm going to use this as a master post to share other places, sorry. 🙏
