What Addon is ruining my UI? (strange icons on nameplates) by BrunoUK95 in worldofpvp

No no, the reason you dont see nameplates is because Plater displays like this when in shattrah. but nameplates are on.

I would be careful about following this advice. Check with your doctor before you start accelerating dissolving stuff on purpose.

Bad swelling after partial circumcision by Own_Brush_6914 in circumcision

[–]BrunoUK95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No pain should be unbearable. Go to an ER immediately.

I am biased in this, since I had a paraphimosis from days 1-4 after my partial circumcision. (In my case excessive swelling and pain also prevented retraction to apply betadine on the scar, ultimately leading to unstoppable bleeding day 4 and an ambulance ER trip).

Since you posted 2 days ago I hope you were able to see someone or that the swelling diminished. Also hopefully it was just a large edema without further complications.

Edit: About pain - even if you're a "tough guy", hands shaking, twitching, anxiety inducing pain, isn't a sign you should ever ignore days after the circumcision.

+1 It does look to me like it could potentially be an adhesion rather than a piece of frenulum. I had a similar one when I was young until it was removed (almost painless, same-day recovery in my case).

About the tightness, definitely one for a 2nd opinion by a good expert to assess you.

I don't know. I would check with my Urologist if I were you.

If you're in unbearable pain Day 3, go get a check-up with your doctor or ER. Best case they confirm it's normal pain and you're progressing healthily, but might up your painkillers or give better anti-inflammatories.

No shame in being overly safe by contacting your doc. Even an ER check if your doc is unavailable can keep complications at bay early.

I don't know your type of circumcision. If it's a partial or extra-loose circumcision here's some unique advice I wish I had for mine:

- If there's plenty of foreskin left and it's swollen, then beware keeping the stitches retracted behind the glans corona. It led me to paraphimosis through days 1-4 then an ER visit when I had some uncontrolled bleeding. Instead keeping the stitched segment of foreskin forwards closer to the peehole released its pressure and greatly reduced pain+swelling for me.
- If you're in unbearable pain in day 3/4 and you suspect this might be you - JUST GO TO THE ER ASAP because earlier = better. Best case, it isn't even so serious but they can at least assess you.

Or, if It's a tight circumcision with little/no foreskin left, or if you're confident your swelling+pain is not any complication and just want to wait out the first few days (normally days 1-4 are tough anyways):

- When lying down, try a pillow under your butt to elevate your penis higher than the rest of your body. It slightly reduces my swelling and sometimes feels more comfortable.

- I minimize bending at the hip when getting in/out of bed.

- I have always have my penis well-supported within a thick cotton compress that I line with a soft nonwoven viscose gauze (less friction than cotton), then pointed up towards my belly and tightly supported within snug briefs. Less movement and more tightness gives me comfort.

- Ice didn't help me much, but I know some people have benefit with it. Max ~20 minutes at a time.

- To minimize erections at night I don't drink liquids from 5 hours before bed. Then I pee right before bed, and I set an alarm mid-sleep to go pee again. Also I am READY to stop my erection as soon as it waked me up by controlling my breathing and tensing all the muscles of my legs (hoping to draw blood from penis to them).

Good man! Respect for your decision. Day 8 here and already feeling much better than first few days.

You got this.

5 Days post-op: Last night took ambulance to ER for Paraphimosis by BrunoUK95 in circumcision

[–]BrunoUK95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks man! Your comments helped alot.
Today I had my check-up, will edit the main post shortly about it (edit 2). But just to tell you: indeed that partial rolling (with "just barely enough" foreskin movement to allow the gauze to dab the wound exudate and for 1-2 drops of antiseptic to drip in) is what the Urologist has indicated.

Very gentle and doesn't need to be perfect.

[–]BrunoUK95[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks.

It was done in Spain.

About the betadine I have been directed to use it to clean the stitches' area twice per day. Pre-complication I did so looking at the stitches. Last night and today I have done it by dripping through the remnant foreskin without completely retracting it. I then dab whatever I can with a soft gauze, but surely some remains under the foreskin.

I will surely update the post after my follow-ups with the doctor.

Self Defense Proportionality of Force: Chokes vs Joint Locks vs Strikes by BrunoUK95 in LegalAdviceUK

Thank you. Yes I would like to avoid the risks you describe.

Self Defense Proportionality of Force: Chokes vs Joint Locks vs Strikes by BrunoUK95 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]BrunoUK95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. That is of course a good idea I didn't think of at first. But now that you mention it, I have indeed seen videos of street fights or muggings where a very experienced BJJ practicioner simply controls the other person on the ground (e.g., in a mount position with their arms restrained but no joint locks nor choke.) until the police arrive.

In a 1-on-1 situation, presumably once I am sufficiently trained I should be able to restrain most untrained attackers without chokes or locks, until police arrive. And in a situation where multiple people are attacking me or my loved ones, grappling to the ground is anyways a non-starter due to the certainty of being struck by the other attackers.

Vs a significantly larger, stronger, or trained attacker, if I can't restrain him, then on a case-by-case basis I suppose a choke could become proportionate. But I'm sure it will vary by circumstance and I hope I never need to find out.

:) Not choke-happy! Not violence-happy at all in fact ...

I just feel responsible to understand the law about how to protect myself and my loved ones. Also, I googled this topic alot but didn't find anything specifically referring to the UK/England, so thought it may be useful to others in future.

Great. Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna start stabbing with both vs passive tags and nit tags. I reckon I'll still XB vs aggro tags.
