didn't claim it was a new phrase or it should never be used

and its odd how world war two killed and injured millions more than COVID but (english-speaking) people didn't change their vocabulary about death

that's because ww2 was our finest hour when "are boys" were brave and we buckled down together in the face of rationing etc , whereas COVID was an outrageous assault on "are freedoms"

btw, a physical therapist once taught me this exercise that helped a lot when i picnhed a nerve in my neck. idk what its called



i drew the outer arms too bent, but actually you stretch those as far as you can, and your palms outward and down. and you try to get your other hand to touch your opposite ear (gently, dont rush it)

just like that, slowly back and forth, for ever a couple days helped a lot

drawing diagrams is hard!!! but i mean, basically you stretch your head to one side while stretching the inside of your arm to the opposite side, then go to the reverse gradually, and back

in my case it seems to be one or multiple nerves deep within my shoulder are entrapped. they glide just fine, but certain arm & shoulder positions immediately make my hand start to feel tingly and will eventually go entirely numb if i don't change the position. i'm worried the only real solution is going to end up being surgical

oh maybe i have that too? luckily the certain positions are rare and useless irl so it only appears when like i sit super awkward and read my phone in bed and pass out. like maybe 2-3 times a week at most

i wish that was my case. i get it while holding a book or my phone, while holding a gaming controller, while driving, any time i have to hold something that puts any weight resistance through my fingers and/or arm, while laying on my right side (it's my left arm that has the problem). i need to get an mri done, but my insurance wanted physical therapy to not work before they would authorize it

yea

one theory i had was that my medina nerve is too close to the inside crook of the elbow, cause esp in my teens and early twenties i would wake up with numb hands, and my arms would be flexed/tense, like fists by shoulders, elbows in by the body. so at the time i assumed the flexing cut off blood flow, but then that symptom went away and now its much rarer, but still only ever when my elbow is bent

went to see a physio today about my back injury, and if he was more than half my age I’d be pretty surprised

I should heal fine though, just need to be careful with exercise while I strengthen it

They're almost always pretty young and since they work out a lot they probably stay younger looking for awhile too.

I've often wondered what happens when they get old. Do they go into nursing? Do they just take them back behind the clinic and put them down?
