help?!

hey everyone, I’m new here, I’m having awful flare ups, I’m a dental nurse so always on the go and sit where I can but have pain in my shoulders all day! My body is tired and hurting. Does anyone have any recommendations or things that help them? I don’t feel I’m particularly stress as I know that flares it up but this feels like it’s for no reason and totally the worst it’s ever been as it’s in my whole body. I don’t have the money to be able to take days off due to bills and privately renting so I need to work every day which I’m told doesn’t help but I have no choice. Thanks for reading

I suspect your body needs more rest, but I think you know that, really. If you cannot do that financially,, then it’s difficult. I’ve been in that position, but I just worked through it, & hoped it would change. In the end, I changed my job for something less active & more desk bound. If you get stressed, of course, it then makes it worse, I think. Talking to your employer, & seeing if there are benefits you are entitled to if you cannot continue full time work? I have no knowledge in that area, I’m afraid. There are lots of folk in the sane position, let’s hope they comment for you!

thank you, I guess I’m not the only one. It helps knowing it’s normal. I agree I need more sleep I just don’t get enough due to life.
