Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Several years ago, there was a discussion on how people manage to work away from home. It took me awhile to really understand what was meant by the phrase. Do the moderators & old timers on this list still advocate " working through the pain " ? Does it depend upon where or what kind of pain it is? Can't it contribute to joint damamge if done at wrong times?

I absolutely believe it is best to work if you can because it gives you more money (and that's a stress reliever), a reason to get out of bed and dressed each morning and lots to think about besides your pain and self pity. However, you cannot work successfully if your job requires you to use joints that you really can't use. Many of us also reach the point where we are unable to work because there are days where we just can't do it. I have decided to stop working after 36 years in part because of PA so I can understand where the point is where you can't work.
