Today, I was enjoying the benefits of marriage with my new husband. We were changing positions when my joints started crackling and popping like my mother's did when I was a kid. My husband stopped, concerned about my possible pain... I'm 20 years-old and pop like an arthritic 50 year-old. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, at the ripe old age of 27, I dislocated my hip while making love to my husband. 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
Today, I got told by the doctor that my aching knees indeed have advanced arthritis, meaning I'm grinding bone on bone 24/7. At 49, I'm "relatively young," meaning they want me to survive for as many years as I can before they'll replace them. Never mind that I've already been in agony for 10 years. FML
Today, I felt flexible in my yoga class. I put my legs in the butterfly position and tried to press them down. Both my hips popped very painfully and I screamed in the middle of a quiet room. FML
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, I popped a boner while my braces were being tightened. FML
Today, my boyfriend was trying to tackle me to the bed when we heard a loud pop. The pop turned out to be him breaking my pinky finger. FML
Today, my husband yelled at me for not doing any household chores. I can barely move my hand without suffering excruciating pain, due to recent surgery to ease my arthritis, and my other hand is as bad as ever. I can barely work this phone, let alone wash dishes and iron clothes. FML
Today, I thought maybe I should go to my doctor because my hips crack every time I take a step. But she's also my recently ex-boyfriend's mom, so I have to choose between being in constant pain or having my doctor poke at my hips while asking me why I'm no longer dating her son. FML
Today, I have such poor joints that I dislocated my hip trying to twist to wipe my own ass. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wait, how do you know your mother's joints cracked when she was having sex?

She only mentioned the "benefits of marriage" in her post because she was too proper and embarassed to say "my husband was riding me like a drunk redneck on a mechanical bull".

"enjoying the benefits of marriage"? Is that how Republics say they have sex? Sex, ******, penis...they're not dirty words. I think it's entirely appropriate to say "GROW THE **** UP!" at this juncture. YDI.

I'm 19. I've has fibro and joint pain since I was little. it got worse at 17. see a doctor. you could just need calcium and vitamins. or it could be something serious.

I miss the days when my only physical problem was my joints cracking. The joint/muscle pain that came later can go any time now. I'm 20 as well.

That's because you waited to have sex until you were married. Dummy.

And because of your cracking joints you had to write about your sex life? Uh... FYL?

This really isn't an FML, really. When I'm having sex sometimes my joints pop - it is annoying though and makes me laugh and that's not very hott :( Don't worry about the people saying YDI for being married at twenty - they're probably upset that you found someone you love and don't realize that if you -know- you love someone, then why not get married? I mean what the ****. I mean, if you are someone that does know. I'm 22 and have been engaged since 21, and will be married this year. Does being 22 mean I'm too young to know what I want and, oh my god, am mature enough to know what I want!? Plus, if you were 'having fun' and sleeping around then they'd be calling you a *****.

Thanks for sharing your life story. Please tell us more as your life progresses. It's truly fascinating.

drkwlf, I agree. I'm 19 and getting married in 4 months. I'll be 20, him 21. we've dated since we were kids and have been through absolutely everything together, and we've lived together for the past year. when people criticize us, I just bite my tongue and know that they don't know what it feels like to be in a love so deep... and if they don't change their attitude, they probably never will. and just because your underage doesn't quite stop you from drinking at your wedding.
