Puppy Lost Her Shoe
Mar. 10th, 2010 03:51 pmSo when I was in massage school, we had a conversation about how people felt this weird pride when you told them their body was effed up, and everyone was like "Whaaaaaaaaat? Why would they do that?!" While doing it, all the time. IDK.
And it totally made sense to me.
When you have chronic pain...especially chronic pain for no reason...it's all in your head pretty much. And you feel like such an asshole whining about it, or asking for accommodations, or whatever. And the average person can't feel that.
So having someone who touched a hundred bodies a week, and know what they SHOULD feel like go "Your shits fucked up." is...reassuring that no, you aren't just a big bitch baby, and it's not all in your head.
But the massage I got was pretty much fucking awesome. It was kinda scary how hard it was to get my arm to just fucking relax, and the tail bone/butt work he was doing made my foot go so numb that I didn't realize I was barefoot for like...4 minutes, and he told me to go get my ass X-rayed (Literally, I guess my tail bone is fucked to shit, which I have been utterly ignoring due to my upper back) but I feel pretty damn good right now. I think I might make a habit out of this. I can afford $15 a week for at least a little while.
