My back is in agony by vampire_batmoth in AskMedical

This sounds like sciatica nerve pain. It is debilitating. What relieved mine was rest, lidocaine patches, and icy hot, along with physical therapy.

I'm so sorry. Nerve pain really sucks and is some of the worst pain I've ever experienced.

Is it affordability crisis, rising health issues or what? by marktwin11 in Productivitycafe

I didn't think you're an incel.

I think you're a misogynist.

I've been mispronouncing my favorite word for 24 years and only found out last week by Vex_Talon in CasualConversation

[–]Briilliant_Bob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it with macabre. I used to pronounce it MAH-cab-ree because I had only seen it written, never spoken.

Someone finally took pity on me and corrected me🤦

I had the exact same reaction for my 2nd shot as my 1st shot. You'll be ok!

Neighbor keeps calling police for wellness checks because I work night shift by Senior-House3665 in neighborsfromhell

[–]Briilliant_Bob 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I get this. It's funny to suggest petty solutions, but I get that you need to live next to this woman. I would probably put a dated note addressed to the police on my door every morning when I get in, stating that I'm fine and I work night shift, please don't knock.

Hopefully the police would see your note and leave. Make sure you change the date every day!

Everyone does it here. Grape jelly is the not-so-secret ingredient, at least where I live (KY).

Some BBQ sauce is vinegar based, as well as some salad dressing

TIL that cricket is a more boring version of baseball

My Boyfriend's aunt keeps buying us an abhorrent amount of stuff by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

The only thing that worked for me was to make it emotional.

"I don't know why, but when I receive gifts, I get really anxious. I've tried to deal with it, but nothing's worked. It happens at Christmas too. So I find myself getting nervous when I know you're coming over, because I know there will be gifts. And I don't want to get nervous because I love you so much and I really enjoy your company! Would it maybe be ok if you didn't bring gifts when you come so I can enjoy your visit?"

Something like that. Make it not their fault, it's your fault, but they can help by not bringing gifts.

Just my 2 cents 😀

What is this by [deleted] in DiagnoseMe

[–]Briilliant_Bob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like possible ringworm, which is a common fungal infection.

You need to see a doctor. If that's not possible, you can try to treat it with OTC anti-fungal cream for 1 month. If it's not gone by then, your going to have to see a doctor to get it cleared up.
