Its seems like its always something. Sure im clean and in recovery. My body does not care. Its been breakimg down since my early 20’s. Now that im 40….my reality is bleak. I am in pain 24/7. I hurt my right shoulder. Again. It appears I am disabled. It feels really unfair and i am angry about this. Being a mystery to my PT lady isnt good. “Its medically alarming to repeatedly hurt your shoulders doing nothing” Is what she said today. I woke up to my AC joint being separated. For NO reason. Now i am actually worried. I have Medicaid so that means no one cares and my concerns are ignored. No matter what i do to try and save myself from poverty. It is not enough. I am so tired.
Oh man. That's extremely rough. Have you had any lab/blood work done yet?
Heather, I’m so sorry you’re going through all this. It’s hard enough staying sober, adding constant pain just makes it heavier… 
Make them care, advocate for yourself. Become such a huge advocate for yourself they have to listen. You have every right to be upset went to feel worn down. Send me a DM anytime, we’ll get through this together.

Heather, my prayers are with you 
. I’ve dealt with multiple health issues and it felt overwhelming. The good news is that we can get through this together. And you will get better.
Chrissy is right, advocate for yourself with the providers and don’t give up.
You’re a sober person and can handle this!
I’m here if you need to talk
