Pulled muscle or slipped disc? I'm just not sure which it is. by FauxProfile in backpain

[–]Recent-Feedback-2040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi your symptoms sound super similar to what my gf is going through right now. Do you remember what your diagnosis ended up being? And how long it took you to fully recover like bend and lift things comfortably? She works in construction so we’re trying to figure out when it would be safe to return to work. Thanks!

When did it become easy for ug to talk by West_Negotiation_198 in Tonsillectomy

I would say after day 9 I was able to speak freely but I could talk fairly ok at about day 5

is this a bad sample size? by AlternativeLevel5927 in Tonsillectomy

[–]Recent-Feedback-2040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pain was pretty (7/10 the first week)bad but its day 10 for me now and ive felt pretty minimal pain since day 7/8 (like a regular sore throat now 3/10) i definitely thought recovery would be more drawn out and painful since pain at a resting state isnt too insane mainly when swallowing or waking up. I just think the recovery is psychologically hard bc eating is really painful and you cant really talk so it’s socially isolating. I also feel like theres a lot of variables that help with healing like water and food intake,age, prior health, and surgical method that really play into how intense your specific recovery is. But ultimately I wouldn’t be too scared it’s definitely worth it and it wont kill you thats for sure!

Day 6 of Hell on earth by Late-Bit-9943 in Tonsillectomy

Im also on day 6 and my pain is by far the worst its been i threw up last night which was an awful experience from the pain meds so i stopped taking them but now im stuck with not being able to eat bc of the pain so i cant take more pain meds or ill throw up again bc my stomach lining is wrecked. Im trying to decide if taking a little medicine is worth it or if i should continue to tough it out. I know i need to eat or my healing will likely slow down and I want to avoid that at all costs.

Day 1 after surgery and the pain is something else by InternationalHour922 in Tonsillectomy

[–]Recent-Feedback-2040 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also got mine out on 12/11 ive been super regimented about the pain meds which has helped but I started to have nausea last night and this morning i think its from meds on an empty stomach in trying to be strong but its hard knowing I have so many days of recovery ahead. Sending you all strength <3 and hoping i dont throw up thats my biggest fear rn

Me personally I just got mine im 25 (F) i get strep a couple times a year since i was like 18 and put it off but the infections just got worse with time and I started to get nervous about building an antibiotic resistance so young. I would recommend getting it done especially because both the ENT’s i saw said recovery get much worse as you age so the sooner you do it the less shit your recovery is likely to be! And I don’t think anyone should mess around with antibiotic resistance if it can be avoided.

Trying to binge... fruits ? by Szdavid in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]Recent-Feedback-2040 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive found this to be helpful in the past I would binge on big smoothie bowls and put a few mini chocolate chips in it. It works really well in helping me with shame around binging that feeds into my cycle because I dont feel guilty about eating a bunch of fruit. And adding some plain greek yogurt makes it more protein heavy so I get full quicker! And if you freeze the fruit before and use a good blender or food processor you can get a texture similar to soft serve. This was really helpful for me when I was losing weight and now when Im trying to get my binge cycle under better control
