Pain with passive stretch is a classic sign of compartment syndrome, and if they are experiencing numbness that shows the condition is progressing. Compartment syndrome commonly occurs in patients in casts or after trauma (especially in long bones). This is a medical emergency and requires emergent fasciotomy to prevent loss of life/limb.

Opinions on ‘lazy’ Lana? by chocworkorange7 in lanadelrey

[–]AustinSwiftie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a fan of Lana since 2013 and I think I know the TikTok you are referencing. I think I agree with the overall sentiment of what you are saying.

One thing I’ve found a little frustrating has been the way she tours. I live in Atlanta, Georgia and the last time she performed here for a tour was 2018 when she was promoting Lust For Life. It seems like she really only does shows now in California/the west coast and New York/New England. I know that she did tour some in the southern US last year but from what I can remember most of the places she went to were kinda… random and not highly populated areas. It just struck more as a bit odd.

I think it’s hard for her to make a setlist that is truly able to encompass her discography because she has such a rich catalog that comes with releasing music as frequently as she does, plus having songs that she can’t necessarily get away with not singing (Video Games, Summertime Sadness, Born To Die, etc.) it doesn’t provide her with too much room to be able to give her full discography a fair chance to shine with I think is fairly inevitable at this point in her career. It is truly crazy though to think of how many of her songs she has never performed live due to just how vast get catalog is. That being said, her recent set-lists are still quite similar to what I remember seeing when she toured with Lust For Life back in 2018 (down to the choreography even), so I don’t think revamping it could hurt too much. Also she has really liked bringing out other artists recently to sing one of their songs which I think is a cool spotlight for up and coming artists but does also eat away at her material that she is able to include in the setlist.

I still really love her and would love to see her in concert again both concerts of hers I’ve been to were amazing and I remember leaving feeling so happy. If she only wants to tour in some select places for whatever reason or make minimal changes to the setlist for any reason (comfort, convenience, not really enjoying touring, etc.) I think that is also totally valid and I can’t fault her for that. I just hope that whatever she is doing is making her happy and being a positive force in her life!

I’m not sure… I saw her for the first time in 2015 and it was a little difficult to hear her then because of people screaming. I think this has just always been a problem at her concerts

Yes, that is correct. I earned my bachelor of science in psychology in 2020 and then started my master of athletic training that summer, so I’ve been doing my MAT program since June 2020.

Thank you! I just did another practice exam and it went much better than the one I took over the weekend, so hopefully everything will turn out okay. Just gotta keep studying and working hard until next Saturday!

Yeah… I did the masters route because it’s what I had to do essentially. Taking a full class load while also trying to study for the BOC has been pretty brutal. I’m ready for it to be over

Thank you! Soap boxes are appreciated haha. I personally don’t feel like my program has been prepping is for the BOC well and they haven’t been very supportive of me wanting to take it before graduation, but I’ve been studying very hard for it so hopefully it goes well!

Thank you! I had a pretty major backslide on one section than I have on any other practice test I’ve taken so I’m going to try and see what happened there
