To ask if everyone has some sort of physical pain?

[PassingStranger]

Was reading that everyone's got aches and pains of some sort.
Nobody is without anything wrong.
Do you agree? X

Been in cyclical pain since age 14 - severe endometriosis, adenomyosis - shooting pains due to endo on the diaphragm

Migraines / headaches from age 6 :(

I'm in pain much of the time and have been since being very young due to endometriosis. It's horror.

I've always thought this.
No diagnosis but yea always had daily stomach discomfort .
Aches and pains

Early 60s and same as this.

I find exercise helps a lot to prevent aches and pains. Though I don't do enough!

I don't have physical pain, but I am always tired, and would love to live life for a day in the body of someone who's fit and not tired, just to see what it's like!

Pain daily. In shoulders, knee, ankle. Also often back, hips, hands.

I'm really surprised that some people have no pain at all,

Nothing permanent. I have had a bad back back for a while that has resolved itself, and I get the occasional bout of sciatica.

I noticed that once I was through the menopause small aches and pains seemed to multiply. If you pull a muscle, for example, it takes a few days to stop hurting, rather than being ok the next day.

Oh tired is a different story.
Aches and pains come and go but I've been tired since 2002.

I have fibromyalgia so daily chronic pain, have to take opioids just to get out of bed and have a life. At the moment lying in bed, the soles of my feet are hurting, my knees, hips and ribs. Always seem to have a headache too. My sleep is all over the place so I don’t think that helps.

Yes, but its manageable with medication, like naproxen or ibuprofen, which I take once in a blue moon if its really bad and I am properly hobbling about. I don't mind the pain and would rather not mask it as it reminds me that I need to lose a lot of weight.

Since turning 40 (I’m 43) I’ve been diagnosed with two long term health conditions. Both are manageable and are usually in the “background” of my life. I’ve had to make small lifestyle changes (weight, exercise, mental health plus medication) but at least I can generally live a normal life. I have minor flare ups every few months which need rest /a day off work but it’s manageable. If either were ever to progress substantially then life would be difficult which makes me worry. Especially with the NHS the way it is I’d probably be waiting years for a corrective operation and to see a specialist.

I've had that for a while, been in contact with GP so hoping to get that sorted soon

Im a HCP one of my daily questions to patients is about pain. Obviously lots have come for pain but many have absolutely no pain. At first I found it amazing as I think I have been in pain since I was about 10 every single day due to a condition I have. In fact it led me to getting diagnosed as I realised it wasn't normal!

No, I don't have any

Yes
Intermittent back pain - cauda equina
Endometriosis pain
Then bone pain, headache and flu symptoms (shiver/fever/nausea) from a weekly injection which lasts about 24hrs

I suffer awful migraines 6=7 a month.
Some with vision loss /vertigo/ speech problems cant think the list goes on.
And the migraines without head pain but feels like you been hit with a truck on the side of your face.
And spend days trying to recover.

@MissHoollie actually do you take any painkillers for that? I was uncertain what to buy

I do. I’m nearly 50 & generally very healthy and not overweight. I have stiff ankles & sore feet due to fallen arches & lower back & hip pain from an old injury from a fall. It is worse first thing in the morning & eases with stretching. I do lots of yoga and Pilates to help and also take loads of ibuprofen. It’s not so bad. My mother is 75 & has chronic rheumatoid arthritis. Now that is constant pain!

I’m nearly 37, I have pretty frequent back pain (low/mid) and have done for probably a decade. Only time it improves is when I’ve been pregnant. I’ve started exercising more (CrossFit) and the pain has improved, I’m taking less paracetamol but still 1-3 times a week I take it

I'm 46, I wouldn't describe it as pain, I don't take painkillers, more discomfort. It's in my lower back, hips and groin. Plus very tight shoulders. It's been a very stressful year and I think I'm just carrying it in my body.

I used to do yoga a lot which helped but have got out of the habit.

Yep
Rheumatoid arthritis its a twat

I've injured my right wrist, and it's a bit jarring at times. I also work out 4 days a week, so my muscles are always aching!

I'm nearly 47

I’d happily stay in bed every day but instead I work full time, am doing a masters and have 3dc. There’s certain aches and pains you just ignore. I think I assumed it’s normal but maybe others call in sick? I had a severe inner ear thing that made me so sick and dizzy I had to crawl to the toilet in September but I took 2 days off work then as soon as I could cope with sitting still (fine if I didn’t move my head) I was back working from home (couldn’t safely drive). I still get dizzy if I lay on my right side. It’s annoying but I try to ignore it so it doesn’t stop me living.

@AndThatWasNY but if you asked me I’d only mention new or acute pain rather than “Usual” aches.
