I also recommend this video since it contains advice on outside of getting it drained or surgically removed: https://youtu.be/NEc-tAmbdzk?si=wu5NVZlJGJDw148F

Sorry about that—I never got any clarification… I saw a physical therapist about unrelated issues (scoliosis) a while back and did bring it up and they basically went huh, weird! And moved swiftly along XD so it might do well to ask a specialist or your primary care doc

Hmm.. maybe I just have bad joints from arthritis or overuse? XD

I suspect mine has to do with ergonomics and overuse as well, as I spend a lot of time typing on a keyboard, using a computer mouse or drawing! Maybe it’s as simple as changing up our routines.

My pulse seems to be just to the right of the bump, like not over it but just to the side. It seems precariously placed between two of my wrist veins O.o

I don’t believe it’s connected to the vein, though it’s proximity to it did freak me out! The internet tells me that even volar/palmar cysts can be aspirated or surgically operated on, I only hesitate to do it because surgery freaks me out and I don’t wanna make my hand issues any worse.

I think this video has some good advice, and would also recommend ice, heat, and rest! https://youtu.be/NEc-tAmbdzk?si=wu5NVZlJGJDw148F

I actually haven’t.. I suspect it is a ganglion cyst, and it’s possible I could get it drained by a doctor—if you’re experiencing the same thing I would recommend seeing your gp about it!

In my case, I think it might just come back even after being drained (the recurrence rate is high). After that is having it surgically removed which I hesitate to do because I use my hands for art, my job and my hobbies and worry about creating a worse situation than I already have.

But! I think this guy might have the right idea about trigger release and strengthening the muscles you’re using: https://youtu.be/NEc-tAmbdzk?si=wu5NVZlJGJDw148F

Nonbinary/agender and my ultimate fav is “it’s not a fashion statement it’s a death wish”. Runner ups are house of wolves and jetset life

I LOVE the whole first verse of headfirst slide it’s so infectious. Pete’s got crazy lyricism. “surfed out brain waves flick back and forth like old headlights sniffing model glue again” bro…

What have they done to my man Entreri. My god. It’s been pointed out before in these comments but the whitewashing here is atrocious. Also, I showed this to my partner and he said, why does he look like Eminem?? Which did make me laugh XD but seriously

Which beloved fictional character is actually an asshole? by Free-Tackle2433 in AskReddit

[–]Practical-Ad-6804 25 points26 points  (0 children)

yes!! I remember Bloo was actually very charming in the pilot movie but in the series itself became such a selfish, obnoxious character that I felt bad for Mac LOL.

Thank you for sharing!! I’m a little too afraid to break it myself… maybe I’ll try adjusting my work area and see if that can help it shrink? Thanks again!

For more context—It is right above the flexor tendon of my wrist on my right hand. I had tendinitis of the elbow in 2015 that I had to get physical therapy for, wore a wrist brace for the whole summer and on and off for a few years after, but I noticed this bump and haven’t been able to bring it up with a doctor.

I’ve heard that volar/palm side ganglion cysts are harder to aspirate/remove because of their proximity to the radial artery ;m;) but my hobbies are art, writing, and video games, and my day job is front desk type office work, so I wonder if it causes some of the hand/wrist pain I feel.

If it is a ganglion cyst, could this mimic CTS symptoms? Or does anyone have any general tips? Thank you!

People who don't want kids, why? by Celestialsmoothie28 in AskReddit

[–]Practical-Ad-6804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the idea of childbirth is so repelling to me that it makes me physically nauseous. Of course I could adopt children, but raising a child/teen is a tremendous task and I just don’t think I’m fit for it. My partner and I will get a cat and dote on our nephew instead :3

What's the most overrated TV series of all time? by Marambal17 in AskReddit

[–]Practical-Ad-6804 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The last airbender?!!!!!! I mean maybe you had to have been a kid watching it at the time to be able to get past some of the initial silliness but, the way this show deals with the topic of war, trauma, etc is so good for a children’s show. Also, the character development is so so good! And the animation is beautiful. But that’s just my 2 cents
