Still wonder where Spint went...

@metaltao I wonder where he went too
Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:11:44 UTC from web-
@thewaifutyphoon Where did he go? OH! And you are much more energetic when you are on your break I have noticed! i enjoy you company!
Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:12:26 UTC from web-
@metaltao That's because I'm happier when I have free time than when I'm just here for an hour or two before heading to Hell work
Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:13:04 UTC from web-
@thewaifutyphoon Yup, You work at a meat factory or something right? Processing? Or was that someone else...
Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:13:39 UTC from web-
@metaltao Pork processing, yes.
Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:13:59 UTC from web-
@thewaifutyphoon OH! I syour hand getting better?
Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:14:24 UTC from web-
@metaltao Yeah it's fine 9 times out of 10. The one time is usually my wrist being sore and not taking pressure well, which I just take things easy and it's solved.

@thewaifutyphoon OH! somthing akin to carpal tunnel?
Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:16:49 UTC from web-
@metaltao give or take, but it's strictly in my wrist and it's just a sharp pain if I put pressure in a certain direction (the direction I cut in) on it. That and I've recently learned that I can hear a lot of my joints and whatnot grinding and popping any time they move, which didn't happen before working here. Not sure if it's from work or if it's arthritis.
Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:18:27 UTC from web-
@thewaifutyphoon Do you raise your hand a lot? With a heavy object?
Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:19:04 UTC from web-
@metaltao I wouldn't say it's heavy, but depending on how many people we have on the line, I have to flip the loins as they come to me to get the right end pointing at me, and they usually weigh ~30-40 lbs
Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:20:01 UTC from web-
@thewaifutyphoon and if I'm only flipping my half, I have to do that every... ten seconds or so
Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:20:18 UTC from web -
@thewaifutyphoon That could do it.

@thewaifutyphoon Joint pain, tenderness, and stiffness are all early signs of osteoarthritis
Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:20:08 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal I think it's just because my job is ~8-10 hours of repeated motions all day with no real variation, but it's possible. My mom has it, so I assume I can possibly get it.
Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:21:08 UTC from web-
@thewaifutyphoon That joint noise it also VERY specific.
Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:21:55 UTC from web-
@metaltao ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I have no idea
Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:22:21 UTC from web-
@thewaifutyphoon XD You want to drop this?
Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:22:41 UTC from web-
@metaltao no I honestly don't mind talking about it
Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:23:06 UTC from web-
@thewaifutyphoon OK! As long as you are having fun or are indifferent!
Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:23:27 UTC from web-
@metaltao Indifferent. Talking about it doesn't change anything, so it doesn't hurt to do so.

@thewaifutyphoon If anything it could also just be muscle pain, doing that job 8-10 hours will definitely do that to you.
Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:23:37 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal I definitely have that, but the muscle pain that gets to me the most is my back and my feet
Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:24:58 UTC from web-
@thewaifutyphoon You're standing when you're working, right?
Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:25:27 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal yeah, in flat boots that have no arch support (and I'm flat footed) on a catwalk that puts extra pressure on your feet compared to concrete or tile
Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:26:09 UTC from web-
@thewaifutyphoon That can't be good for your spine. Do you at least have good support on your chair and bed at home?
Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:28:24 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal my bed has a memory foam mattress thing on top, but my chair is definitely old and there's no cushioning anymore.
Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:29:05 UTC from web-
@thewaifutyphoon Well at least you have good back support for sleeping, that's probably the most important.

@northernnarwhal Diagnosis is so much FUN!

@northernnarwhal But you are using info and the response from the patient to determine an ailment?
Yeah, it isn't Diagnosis unless you are there and have a reference sheet and other tool at your dispoasal..Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:28:13 UTC from web-
@metaltao I'm making an educated guess based on what he's posted and what I know about joint disorders.
Monday, 28-Jul-14 08:29:20 UTC from web-
@northernnarwhal Yup!
