knee hurts so bad after 12h sitting is this normal??
Quote from Moonspeed on February 16, 2019, 12:08 amIt is 8pm and my knees are screaming. I sat at my desk for 12 hours coding again. Forgot to stretch. My daughter asked me to play tag and I just stared at her because standing up felt impossible. I bought those cheap gel cushions from Shopee for 15 dollars but they do not help. I take ibuprofen now. It is not working well. I feel like my joints are rusting. I drink too much iced coffee from the corner stall. Maybe that is why. I saw a physio on Instagram charging 50 dollars per session. Too expensive for this pain. Do you guys get this stiff after long shifts? Is this normal for women in tech or is something wrong?

Quote from Judy1966 on May 1, 2019, 8:43 amsame. just bought a meditation app at 11pm and now i am staring at the ceiling waiting for enlightenment. it is not working. the couch feels like it glued itself to me. i tried shifting my legs but the friction coefficient is too high. probably will just nap for 20 mins and ruin my circadian rhythm again. send coffee. or dont. i am too tired to decide.

For real, we’re pacific so family always over but my husband is a stink bomb. i literally just pull the blankets over his head and bury him in the bed. if he wakes up squished he’ll wash his face at least. husband smells like fish and sweat but i’m too tired to fight. just use strong perfume and ignore it lol.

Quote from Nicole1973 on June 7, 2019, 9:51 ambro same. im always wiped after the gym. i finally started bringing a banana and eating it right after. also just realized i drink like 50oz of water before going. if i dont drink enough beforehand im dehydrated and crashing hard afterward. feels like junk after a run even if its light. just started napping for 20 mins immediately after changing out. helps a lot. dont overthink it too much honestly.

Quote from free1967 on September 25, 2020, 4:13 amMmm just wear big earbuds and zone out. Or put ur best workout playlist on loud. If they keep staring just look right at them dead in the eye till they get uncomfortable. My cousin does that and it works ez. Also wear ur hair up so u don’t have to keep fixing it. Focus on ur form and let them be dumb.

Quote from BravePearl on December 22, 2020, 2:53 pmsame here. i hate how hot and stuffy my living room gets when i run. now i just walk outside by the school track. its quiet early in the morning and the fresh air helps. if i do run inside i turn the fan on max and eat a banana right after. dont try to push through nausea. just stop and drink water.

Quote from BlueFern on May 27, 2021, 4:12 pmnah its actually pretty normal but yeah it can be awkward if ur rushing lol i just tell him to chill and let me take the lead. if hes too sensitive i make him wait or switch it up. dont let him rush u tho. communication is key like u gotta tell him to back off if its uncomfortable. dont feel bad about it tho.

Quote from emberlead on February 22, 2021, 12:18 amsame here. standing 8 hrs for work made my arches scream. i just swap to orthopedic inserts, not the cheap ones from mall. works way better. also try evening foot soak with epsom salt, helps reduce swelling after long shift. dont push through pain or it turns into plantar fasciitis. trust me, learned the hard way last year.

Quote from Happy1995 on January 21, 2021, 8:56 ami finally stopped forcing myself to go. honestly, i just read on my couch now. saves me thirty bucks a month and i dont have to pretend to enjoy cardio. my hips are bigger but my eyesight is worse from staring at screens anyway. whatever. peace of mind costs less than a gym membership these days.

Quote from jules1987 on January 6, 2021, 8:10 ami use heating pads and witch hazel compresses when the pain gets bad. also trying to walk barefoot on grass helps ground me and loosen up my joints. my grandma taught me to rub warm olive oil mixed with clove oil into the knees before bed. it’s not a cure but it takes the edge off without numbing me out. keep moving gentle don’t let it sit still too long.
