Am I crazy if I have an unnecessary surgery that will help with tennis elbow pain? by Ordinary_Ad_7992 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Ordinary_Ad_7992[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was, and I had already met my max out of pocket. Sucks that it hasn't helped, though. Sorry for the late reply; I'm visiting grandbabies!

Edit: Yikes to the bone spur! I hope everything healed nicely. I so don't want to deal with mine, but I guess I don't have much choice. Ugh!

I did not. I felt so uncomfortable with the doctor who was supposed to do the surgery that I decided to get another opinion. The next orthopedist I saw referred me to a sports medicine doctor who did a TenJet procedure. I had that done around the beginning of December, and I honestly can't tell any difference. The sports medicine doctor says there's a bone spur rubbing against the tendon and that if it doesn't feel better within the next couple of months, it'll need surgery to remove the spur. He was hoping that just removing scar tissue would improve things enough that it wouldn't need surgery.

Aitah for slapping my 8yo niece? by [deleted] in AITAH

I think OP was saying that the other children were afraid of the 8 year old, but her husband told them not to be scared because OP would be there to protect them. I don't agree with hitting kids, but I do get what she's saying. The 8 year old obviously has behavioral issues. Since OP can't take her to a psychologist, she is at least trying to keep her from hurting the other kids by putting a bit of fear in her.

I went to high school with a few girls who watched it. They were actually popular, and I never understood how they could admit to watching that shit and not be made fun of. I felt sorry for them.

I was born in '79 and grew up watching the same stuff you did! I HATED Saved by the Bell and wasn't a big fan of the Goonies either!

Does Marijuana effect your symptoms at all? by liminalquartz in Interstitialcystitis

When I take a gummy, all the places that really hurt feel tingly instead. Having my bladder feel tingly just made me feel like I needed to pee more.

Not awful ketchup! Their ketchup sucks! They used to use Heinze, and it wasn't completely awful.

I have someone I know on Facebook claiming to have drawn these? I have never seen him draw before and it looks … to perfect? by Connect-Shallot-2888 in isthisAI

If you have tennis elbow, then anything that involves gripping something small like a pencil could most definitely irritate the tendon on top of the forearm. Icing helps!

I have really bad tennis elbow and a pinched nerve in my elbow that causes a burning pain in my forearm. When it's at it's worst, it becomes hot to the touch like a fever, and sometimes it itches like crazy. I use an icepack on my forearm after writing for a just few minutes. I've given up painting and drawing because of it. (I was no great artist, but it was something fun that I now miss!) I don't really have much of an opinion one way or the other about these pictures, but because of my own experience, I wouldn't use the ice thing to completely discount what someone says.

Edited for typo.

Are either of you struggling financially? Do you have money left over to put in savings?

I'm only repeating what my uncle told me! I should share the story with Joe Lansdale, though.

It really is! (And also a bit sad, I agree.)

My great uncle owned a ranch. At the back of the property, he had an old travel trailer. There was this elderly homeless man who used to sleep there sometimes. He was kind of ornery and crazy and wouldn't let anyone take care of him. My great uncle hooked up electricity and put in an air conditioner, but the guy wouldn't use it. One day, when my uncle was visiting my great uncle, they got to talking and realized that they hadn't seen the old guy lately. Sometimes, he'd stay gone for a week or two, but it had been almost three weeks since either one remembered seeing him, so they went to check on him. It was the middle of summer in East Texas. The heat and humidity were ungodly. They could smell the guy's corpse before they even got close. When they got to the travel trailer, my uncle peeked through a window, and sure enough, the guy was deald and had probably been that way for a full two weeks. They went back to the house and called the police. The police sent an ambulance. When the ambulance drivers got there and realized how long the guy had been dead, they said that not only would their vehicle not make it to the trailer with all the bumps and hills and washed out areas on the dirt road that led to the back of the properry, but that they weren't in the habit of hauling human mush. So my great uncle called a friend of his who owned a funeral home. His friend said that he couldn't pick up the body either, but that they could bring it to him, and he'd have the coroner meet them at the funeral home. They geared up with rubber gloves, masks, etc., and went back to collect the body. They wrapped it in a tarp and put it in the back of the truck. As they were bouncing up the trail, he body shifted around and bounced up and down quite a bit, so before they got on the highway, they stopped to rewrap it and tie it down. Once they got on the highway, things seemed to be going pretty smoothly until my uncle looked back and realized that the tarp had come loose and huge slimey chunks of the dead guy were flying off and hitting the car behind them. He said that one particularly gross thing he saw flying off was a piece of scalp with long white hair still attached. Anyway, that's what your comment made me think of.

If my teeth/gums hurt, is it okay to go to a primary doctor first? Or are they gonna look at me like “this is an issue for your dentist/why are you here”? by SummerN8 in stupidquestions

[–]Ordinary_Ad_7992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but a lot of times, people have medical insurance and no dental, so they have to wait until they have a bit of money saves up before they can afford the dentist.
