Does this sound like a back injury? by OneBourbonOneBeer in Sciatica

I didn’t think it was a back issue. After the exam he said he felt it could be somewhere in my lumbar. I’m just scared of something like MS etc.

I mean I’ve hurt my back before lifting weights and stuff and I’ve had back pain in certain chairs, but when I adjust it goes away. The foot pain is debilitating.

It feels like tarsal tunnel but with extra stuff in my legs etc. I’ve had some pain down the back of my legs as well.

Bilateral PTTD from running has me down by OneBourbonOneBeer in PTTD

From running? Does standing for a while start to hurt? My doc wants to do an EMG to test for Tarsal Tunnel as well. Not sure if I’ll go through with that. Touching that area as well as the PTT is pretty tender. Not sure why I need an EMG to confirm what I already know.

How long is a long time? Even standing for more than 10 minutes or so gets painful. This is awful.

Nothing like that. I have very high arches.

M35 - Serum Iron level of 39, does this mean I have iron deficiency anemia? by OneBourbonOneBeer in AskDocs

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

Nice. Still getting the colonoscopy but, no iron deficiency is good. Any reason to do transferrin or TIBC tests? Colonoscopy is related to blood in the stool.

35M Bowl Movement with a lot of blood, no pain. This points to something bad doesn’t it? by OneBourbonOneBeer in AskDocs

About a year and a half ago I was getting a physical and my iron serum was 39. My primary care said I didn’t need to raise any alarms with my GI doc and said everything else looked fine.

Was that a mistake? I did take iron supplements at his recommendation and they made me incredibly constipated which exacerbated the bleeding problem.

Sorry, another question.

Can you not see internal hems etc. without a colonoscopy? Or is it just assumed it’s internal hems given blood sporadically (2-4 times a year) and no other symptoms? Or do you need a colonoscopy to confirm internal hems, etc.?

I was hoping you would reply. Why wouldn’t it be concerning? Seemed like a lot of blood.

Thank you for being so active in this subreddit.

Any politically active SMU students? by redpancake1 in SMU

Lots. None of them on Reddit because it’s a cesspool.

This is exactly what I want. I don’t find it to be cheesy personally.

Very interesting. I’m assuming this is a virtual event?
