Today, my sciatica is so bad that my feet feel like they have frostbite, I don't know what to do. Getting older sucks. FML

The chills

Today, despite living healthy and being only 40, I have such pathologically cold feet that I can only ever be comfortable while either having them on a hot water bottle or taking a vigorous walk. Everything else feels about as cosy as standing in ice water. FML

Today, at the age of 14, my neck, back, and feet take turns setting themselves on fire if I stand up for too long. FML

It's not an age thing, it's an ice thing

Today, I took a pretty nasty fall on the ice and made noises similar to the ones my dad makes when he's in pain. I am officially becoming old. FML

Today, an old lady steamrolled over my foot with her wheelchair, then laughed as she slowly rolled away, leaving my toes in ruins. FML

Today, I thought I'd wear my snow boots so I wouldn't slip on the ice at work. I crashed my car because I can't feel the pedals with my boots on. FML

Bit of both

Today, at the age of 30, I was diagnosed with both sciatica and ADHD. I don't know whether to feel really old, or really young. FML

Today, I was crossing the street and did a full on faceplant. The reason? I pinched a nerve in my foot a couple of days ago, and now it’s completely useless. It’s like walking around with a dead foot. I think I’d be better off hopping on one. FML

Today, I sneezed so hard that I threw my back out. Now my back is in agonizing pain, and I can barely walk. FML

Today, I finally sorted out my health insurance and went to the doctor. After seeing my X-rays and confirming I still had scoliosis, he also confirmed arthritis in both hips, 2 exploded discs and that I have "the back of a 50 year-old." I'm 24. FML

Sometimes I'm high when adding the titles, so toes with frostbite made me think of Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing.

Put on some fluffy, warm socks? And then go see a doctor.

OP lives in the US. People get shot here for trying to obtain medical care.

Who is the first white person to climb Mt. Everest and make a big deal out of it? I'll take Potent Potables for $800, Mayim.

Alan, we can't see your witty titles on the mobile app. We are missing out! Just when I think FOMO is irrational, here's a case where it's real. Occasionally, I'll come here on the desktop site and see your titles. Please fix the mobile app.

I have neuropathy in my hands and feet from chemo (I am a cancer survivor). I have found that CBD topical cream on my feet (and hands) gives me some relief. It’s legal in all states. I also found some of the thickest and warmest socks I could find and wear them all the time. I sympathize with you. Keep trying to find things that help. Nothing makes it all go away, but there are things that help. Do be sure to see a neurologist.

The only thing that has made a dent in the neuropathy from my sciatica is regular visits to a chiropractor (shop around, I found one where I live that charges $25 no insurance) and Lyrica if you can get to a Dr

Today, it's only day three of my annual vacation. Rest and relaxation? Afraid not! For the past days, I've been haunted by the constant thought of how much work will be piled up when I get back. FML

Today, on my first day as a community support officer, a 7-foot meathead in the middle of a domestic argument told me to “piss off shorty”, and when I asked him not to swear at me, he picked me up one-handed and threw me in a builder's skip full of mud and wet cement. FML

Today, I found out why my wife has been upset with me for the last week. She told me this morning that I did something to upset her on our date night last Friday, she won't tell me what, and she said she'll leave me if I do it again. FML

Today, I took my driving test. I was really nervous, but I thought I did pretty well in the end. That is until I parked the car and looked to the examiner. He was visibly shaken. He said I'd passed, quickly filled in the paperwork and left. On the downside, my car still smells of his shart. FML

Today, I sliced my arm open on the weekend, patched it with a fabric bandaid. Had an allergic reaction to the bandaid, arm now swollen, blistering and keeping-me-awake itchy. Pharmacist's advice? "Oooh, that looks bad. Better put a bandaid on that." FML

Today, as a stressed NHS nurse, I tried to take a relaxing bath, except I dropped my book in the water, my candle set my hair on fire, I slipped getting out and may have broken my finger. The noise woke up my two kids, so I had to start their bedtime routine over again, and I got bath salt crystals in my eye. FML
