"Hi!. Despite my ME started when I was 13, beginning at 20 years old I started suffering a series of injuries over my musculoeskeletal system, many of which I find excessively serious considering the severity of the accident that triggered them. I might be forgetting some, but they're as follow, in this order:\n\nunspecified injury on psoas muscle, took 2 years to heal on its own, physical therapy was useless, extremely painful while walking\nbroken ribs from falling and hitting the ground with my left arm, the ribs did not receive a direct hit\npermanent \"frozen elbow\" from falling and hitting the ground with my elbow\nsevere contractures in upper back muscles caused just by sitting while working, which caused pain and weakness in my right arm, apparently due to the tight muscles interfering to the nerves innervating the arm.\ntwo lumbar disk herniations apparently caused by lifting a 2k kilograms mirror, they're still there to this day\nand the jewel of the crown: symptomatic thoracic disk herniation triggered by just voluntarily stretching my back, this specific kind of injury affects one person in a million, according to statistics\n\nThe question I always make myself is, am I a person who just had extremely bad luck or is my musculoskeletal system particularly fragile and with a poor ability to heal? Does anybody has a story similar to mine? Does anybody knows about any research on ME/CFS that points to an abnormal predisposition to injury?\nThanks for your kind attention! Who knows, maybe many of us have this problem and we can help each other with it!\n\nNote: ME/CFS diagnosis based on CCC criteria, backed up by positive 2-day Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test (CPET) and positive tilt table test for POTS"
