Introduction

I am a 21-year-old college student, and I've been living with chronic pain since I was 14. Recently it's moved beyond a problem's with an identifiable source to an acute, lingering pain in my knees that is probably, at this point, going to be diagnosed as arthritis. I've been searching for a blog that chronicles the life or a person my age who is dealing with similar problems and come up short, so this is my little contribution to the internet. It's called squeeze--box because other iterations of squeezebox were full, and also because I've just started playing the accordion with my, well, chronically painful hands. So there you go.
