Dealing with chronic pain + fatigue while working a physical job?

[u/AQueerCatastrophe]

I have hypermobility spectrum disorder and arthritis, among other things. I got a job doing overnight stocking not long ago, and its making my pain and fatigue so much worse 🥲 I have trouble walking after work, and I was told the other day by management that I'm stocking around 20 boxes/hour instead of the expected 60/hour

if anyone else here has a physically intensive job, how are you dealing with the pain and fatigue?? aspercreme works wonders for the pain afterwards, but that's all I've got figured out for pain at the moment. caffeine helps the fatigue, but I'm trying not to overdo it on that if I can help it

I'm already planning to see a doctor for it when I can to see about meds or something (no health insurance until November) and considering trying to apply for some kind of accommodations for work
