After effects of work

A year and a half ago, I retired from 32 years of working in a factory, which was Hard to do. It has taken a toll on my body. I'm in a lot of pain from that. I have been getting out, but then it could take a week or so to recover? Also having trouble sleeping. Any one else experience this? Thanks

I haven't worked 32 years in a factory but was a house cleaner for many, many years. I still have back and neck issues. It may take longer to recover. I, too, have sleeping problems. I have had them for a very long time due to a bad head injury. I now take .5 mg. of risperdal to sleep. It helps me to stay asleep better than the regular sleep meds. Here is a link for you: https://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/features/having-trouble-sleeping#1
 
Being a house cleaner as a job I'm sure is not an easy job too. Do you know what I'm going through. I also suffer from anxiety and depression, the doctor gave me medication for that and sleep, doesn't seem to be working. I feel groggy, but can't fall asleep, so I feel frustrated. I get anxious when night time comes. Over the counter meds don't work either. Thanks for the link, I'll look into it and maybe a massage? Thanks
 

OP: Many of us worked hard and are now retired. My parents worked hard and lived into their 90's and they had their share of aches and pains, but none of the pharma drugs of today. They learned to live with what they were dealt.

I've worked with supplements for over 25 yrs to help ease my issues and I didn't do factory work but did 40 some yrs of jobs. Life is not a bed of roses but we have to keep working thru the thorns.

I have a sleep combo and IF you are willing to look at it and give it consideration, I'll post it here. I sleep 9-10 hrs nightly with bathroom wake ups, but I sleep and I worked to get what I use...no sleep drugs for me from pharma....they all come with terrible side effects. jam
 
I appreciate the information, you worked 40 year's, I work 32 years in a factory, Sorry unless you did that kind of work, you can't relate. 12hr/7 day work weeks, it trigged anxiety being pressured to work like that in my 60's is unbelievable, plus 100 degree heat, no A/C. It has taken a toll on me. I had to retire early or be fired for bad attendance. Either way I was out ����
 
No I can't relate, but many worked in factories, most of the men in my dad's generation worked in mills and factories, and then in the 70-80's, all that work was shipped overseas to 3rd world countries.

I'm glad you are out and now work to "fix" some of your issues. I work on my issues every day, love to learn how to "fix" myself.
 
I would try some light exercise for circulation and flexibility. Try to include exercises that don't over lap with what you did on the job. Besides the mental aspect there could some rmi's repetitive motion injuries that might be worth checking into medically and legally. Maybe a couple of sessions with a physical therapists for education and motivation might get your physical health on a different path. And yes as suggested try some supplementation of your diet with vitamins, nutrients etc to help repair it. I think it's trying/doing several different things. I doubt there will be one answer.
 
I am still climbing trees, hauling wood, gunning chainsaws while hanging from a half-inch rope at seventy feet. I feel my best, physically, when I'm working, and shortly thereafter. If I'm away from physically taxing work, for more than a few days, I feel bad, mentally and physically. Climbing trees, on ropes, is an activity that puts one in a sort of traction, and that's very good for one's spine and the rest of the musculoskeletal system. I will probably keep climbing and/or doing intense physical work until shortly before I leave this planet.

WOW with that many hours you must have put away a small fortune to live on after you left the work force.

Doubt many here don’t have less than optimal results from the work world.
Duh.
Want answers?
Doesn’t look like it.
Want pity?
Find a priest.

I’d say ‘have nice day’ but seriously doubt you even want one.

Sorry, I get short on feelings when someone enters such a vague pathetic post.

Thing is, I seldom rant.
Rants are for the cranky

But

Sometimes one gets a belly full

I read thru the OP’s threads
It’s a friggin’ theme
‘Poor me’
‘Help me’
‘No, your misery is just not the same as mine’
One thread says they’re lookin’ for work.
Another, they’re over worked.
Another, their live in kids are giving grief
Then, don’t tell me to throw them out
Wat th’ fook?
I don’t think even Shalimar can turn this OP.

I truly am sorry to unload like this, but, damn, when one rubs elbows with folks that’ve been thru so very much more than what is basically normal shit life gives ya, well, yeah, it’s a feel good
…..like peeing in yer pants

I'm sure the whining will continue

And I thought it was just mean ol' me that saw the same pattern...
 
This website is suppose to be about support not to abuse those of us who are looking for support. You obviously have underlying issues in your life that you lack compassion. Constructive criticism is fine, but to be just downright MEAN, is another thing. I'll pray for you, sounds like you need compassion in your life? Take care

That's where you are mistaken. This is a conversational forum made up of average folks just like you. What you're looking for is professional help. If I remember correctly, you're already getting help from social services?

Nevertheless, when you keep asking for advice and finding reasons for why they won't work, then you're frustrating people who really are trying to help you. At some point, it's useless and better off to just not reply.
 
First IAM Not getting ANY assistance from Anyone. So get your FACTS right before you go making assumptions??? If you don't like what me and others are writing and getting frustrated? then don't answer or read it or get off this site?? That's LIFE... We're not always going to be able to please everybody. So I'm guessing you've never complained and have the perfect life right??? You know you do have the option of blocking those who you don't want to hear from??? Have you ever heard of the First Amendment right to freedom of speech??? Obviously not if you're trying to tell us what to and not to say???
