I am not happy with it. It causes me a lot of pain but I push through the pain, I have my surgery and my medication and I do what I think will make me happy both short and long term. We aren't the only ones.

Pretend like you don’t have it cuz honestly I found it thru out my sisters and just my knee caps aren’t regular and I’m starting to have lots of weakness but I push a bit thru it and try not to pay attention to it. (Smokes lots of weed too)

Even tho i had several problems from nps (a few surgeries), it didnt stop me from being happy. It did stop me from doing things i would have really liked to do as a kid. But there's plenty of other things to do that can be enjoyable. If you have people you can count on, you should be okay
