Just read this article about how taking NSAIDs and steroids for pain can make it become chronic, and realized something. Of course it does, because low back pain comes from an injury, and when you treat the inflammation without treating the injury, and go back to work because your shitty job doesn't give you sick time, you make the injury worse because you can't feel the pain. Repeat over and over for twenty years, and no shit it becomes chronic! We really need to figure out how to normalize true self-care, because I shouldn't have to live with this pain for the rest of my life for someone else's profits.
