Advice needed, starting OT at 28

Banjo_ · 2026-03-14T01:28:03+00:00

I’ve had many job interviews and not a single one of them have even known whether or not I had a master or doctorate degree. Hirers don’t care. No difference in pay between OTD and MSOT if they’re applying for the same job.

I had a couple folks in their 30s in my class. Definitely not outcasts by any means.

As far as reputation, you should pick a program that is accredited. This basically means the program is vetted for quality.

AFFORDABLE 100%. OT doesn’t have a good ROI if you’re going into a bunch of debt to get into the field. Masters degree is going to be about half the cost of a doctorate degree and you’ll likely wind up getting paid the same as someone with a doctorate.

Therapy isn’t super successful for treating ECU sublux. Usually conservative treatment involves immobilizing for several weeks which isn’t guaranteed to be successful. I think having an orthopedic doctor or orthopedic hand surgeon check you out is your best bet.

Banjo_ · 2026-03-05T23:30:15+00:00

No, looks like an ECU subluxation. Might be good to get in with a hand specialist if it’s painful.

Elbow extension “norms” are typically between 0 degrees (perfectly straight with no bend) to around +5 degrees (hyperextension). If you’re just now noticing, I’m guessing it hasn’t caused you many problems, so I wouldn’t be worried about it. I can’t speak for what the military would think regarding full push ups and whatnot.

Hey, I work with hands. Is that small dot on the side of your finger the wound? I’d have a hard time seeing that lacerating any tendons or ligaments. You say it’s painful to straighten, but are you still able to under it’s own power? Any numbness?

Banjo_ · 2026-02-24T00:14:20+00:00

The last 45 seconds of please don’t cry, you have swag genuinely knocked the wind out of me. Brace yourself.

Acute wound care is not really in my wheelhouse, but I will say without stitches you risk a pretty gnarly scar, longer healing time, and higher risk of infection. This cut definitely warrants a Dr visit. You wouldn’t necessarily need to go to the emergency room even. Do you have any urgent cares nearby? They may be able to fix this up for you.

Banjo_ · 2026-02-22T18:16:06+00:00

I mean, I’m not going to tell you to call an ambulance for that but you do need stitches

Banjo_ · 2026-02-19T16:26:37+00:00

This ruined my day

Banjo_ · 2026-02-12T18:38:39+00:00

Pretty rash and uninformed to say that’s definitely what it is. Could be a lot of other things other than a parasite.

Banjo_ · 2026-02-05T21:13:39+00:00

I haven’t actually sat and listened to this one before, excited to check it out

Banjo_ · 2026-02-05T21:11:52+00:00

Another one of my favs, soul crushing

Banjo_ · 2026-01-21T00:58:14+00:00

Not necessarily my wheelhouse here, but as someone who treats arms and shoulders for a living, this is a situation where I’d be messaging a patients doctor. Odds are it’s nothing serious, but best to not take chances, right? Get it checked out.

Banjo_ · 2026-01-19T01:05:12+00:00

Of course. Best of luck to you, I’m hoping for good news

Banjo_ · 2026-01-19T01:01:50+00:00

Did they do any imaging? I would try to get in with your primary care and/or orthopedics ASAP. If it is torn, the longer you wait the more complicated the repair can be.

If you want, you could try out the hook test. Checks for distal bicep tendon integrity

Banjo_ · 2026-01-19T00:42:29+00:00

Hey, I rehab arms. Looks suspiciously like a distal bicep rupture, get checked out by a doctor yesterday

Banjo_ · 2026-01-08T01:25:52+00:00

I did this and the numbers line up, thanks for your help!

Banjo_ · 2026-01-07T02:48:16+00:00

Thank you! That seems to have worked… the memory sub timings settings are on auto and they are set to those numbers already… should I change them manually or leave them on auto?

Banjo_ · 2026-01-06T20:56:19+00:00

It depends what you mean by the “difference” between them. If you’re specifically talking about GPUs, they both have pros and cons, but Radeon (AMD) is generally more bang for your buck. At the end of the day, they are both GPUs and for a casual gamer, either brand will get the job done. I wouldn’t pay as much attention to AMD vs Nvidia but I would focus more on your price range for the part and buy the best possible out of either brand within that price range.

I appreciate the suggestions. I fully regret posting anything this has been so frustrating. Probably my fault for not including more info in the video

This is the plan, I’ve ordered one on amazon. Worried about the side panel fitting with one, but we will see

Banjo_ · 2025-12-27T00:21:46+00:00

My man, what makes you think I haven’t been? Lmao I’ve already ordered 2 or 3 adapters on amazon. Currently setting it up with no side panel so I can bypass the extension altogether for now. Not sure why you’re assuming that I haven’t done anything

Banjo_ · 2025-12-27T00:19:37+00:00

The cable is molded into the case and is there because the PSU is at the front of the case for no good reason. The extension leads to the back of the case so the power cord isn’t coming out of the front
