Do we just have to accept that our bodies hurt to live in? 😫

I have a call in November with my gynae to catch up while I wait to get a date for my laparoscopy and in the last 6 months while my periods haven't been as insane because of my new pill, my bodily pains are worse and worse; I know I'll eventually get answers and possibly help but sometimes it really gets to me. It's just a bit rubbish to feel like I'm in a body that's rejecting me yknow?

The leg and joint pains have been on a whole other level recently, it gets to the point where my legs hurt even when I'm sitting or lying down (not to mention that I now crack at the hips almost every time I stand up!)

I'm excited to have answers down the line and I know I'm more fortunate than some, but there isn't a moment in my day where something somewhere isn't agony and it's so deflating - does anyone else feel this way?

I feel like I'm complaining about something that people around me don't understand and it feels like it's silly but I know I'm valid in feeling this way, it'd just be nice to know that I'm not alone!

I do have a tonne of other symptoms but this is what's annoying me the most at the moment and I don't even know if it's worth mentioning on the gynae call or not?
