Why didn't my doctors ever even consider this? It's so obvious, I just had a total stoned epiphany. I mean seriously, I'm just coasting through space in my mind so frigging baked, and it's so obvious.
For 5 years my back, neck, spine, legs, and arms all hurt like a bitch. It all stemmed from a repetetive strain injury to my low back in Judo, then falling on my upper vertebrae in Aikido a year later, then having a chiropractor ruin my neck a month later with a neck adjustment. And after all these accidents, 5 years later, the pain has only spread and never healed.
But the important thing is that I can feel the inflammation somewhere in my spine whenever any part of me is hurting. Well from 3 injuries to 3 different spots in my spine, wouldn't it be logical to assume that it's arthritis? I mean arthritis can be caused by too much strain on a part of the body, so wouldn't that be the most logical assumption? Should I go pester my doc about it and find out?
