Shooting So happy my musclar chronic pain f**k off in 2026 and I can shoot 😅

I frankly had diabolical chronic muscular pain in my back muscles via chronic pain syndrome. It was triggered after I sneezed and pinched a nerve temporarily for a split second in my mid back. It basically just cause Central sensitization.

My back muscles would literally lock up until I couldn't stand anymore and I was in like 8 out of 10 pain within a 3 hours or less of trying to shoot.

Thank God for researchers like S Kasahara to study neurodiversity driven chronic pain and publishing study data on how to treat it.

Pragmatically I've had my chronic pain resolved with Vyvanse and pramipexole together with an under a year.

I'm poor still because I've been stuck on disability being disabled and I'm hoping to return to the workforce soon now I'm regaining my physical capacity, but I went a little bit crazy on credit because I have a pending bodily harm settlements to cover the bill.

I was just extremely excited at being able to do stuff without my back muscles locking up on me and completely tricked out this pig of a rifle to handle that I hated to shoot because it didn't fit me and now I absolutely freaking adore it:

I actually was able to shoot two days in a row mostly doing prone even off hand that's kind of crazy. Before I wouldn't be able to walk the next just trying not for a few 30 minutes.

I'm like autistic I'm not sure how this would go over if I'm honest because my communication is a little bit screwy and it doesn't often work the best with my particular traits using texts because I have dysgraphia Plus hyperverbalism.

Youre all good, brother. Keep enjoying your sports and hobbies.

Tell us a bit about what you're shooting, what's the rifle build and what caliber is it?
