I was in a car accident in 2016. I got hit head on by a distracted driver and shattered both my ankles (among other injuries.) Had to relearn how to walk.

Fast forward to present day: I just got off a 12 hour shift waitressing and I am laying in bed in absolute AGONY. The pain is goddamn unbearable. I have arthritis in my ankles and my pain level is a legit 9/10. I’m laying here working myself up because my anxiety is off the charts from the pain.

Does this happen to anyone else?

Wtffffff. How do people fucking cope with this. It’s as severe as childbirth- just in a totally different part of my body. Childbirth that lasts all night and all day without meds.

How do you dudes cope with such intense pain! It’s stressing me the fuck out.

This is why people do heroin.
