    I don’t get this. I’ve been hit by a semi truck had SCA and nothing is permanent.

      I was temporarily paralyzed when I was 14 at a Cadet fitness weekend when I was in grade 8. Even though I gained movement again I’m still stuck with back pain and I’m turning 40 this year.

      My right wrist is fucked from creative writing in college.

      My right knee hurts day to day from ball hockey. My right shoulder the same thing from getting tripped and hyper-extending it on the court.

      My left knee hurts day to day driving a transport truck with a clutch for the past 8 years. Also hockey from being a goalie in my early days.

      No, there are a LOT of things that happen along the way that become permanent. Outside of my spinal issues most of my day to day pain is from adulthood.
