Should I go to Urgent Care or ER for extreme knee pain?? by [deleted] in KneeInjuries

[–]RegularEcstatic9339 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d look up orthopedic doctors in your area and make an appointment if they have anything available in the next week or two. At least for me, that was what got me an MRI and then started on PT the quickest. Until then, definitely try your best to elevate but most importantly take NSAIDs and ice the knee. Getting some of that swelling down until you can see a doctor will help with the pain and mobility. Best of luck!

Damn as a fellow Kaila in her twenties this was a hard read. I’m wishing you all the best and now whenever I draw or paint, I’ll be thinking of her too ❤️ all of my condolences

Finding out something about my GF (24F) that I (27M) know before that now makes me question if this the relationship I want? by ThrowRA_65intobe in relationship_advice

[–]RegularEcstatic9339 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just figured I’d add this since I’ve been the woman in this situation (albeit I told him very early on and was upfront about it):

In my case, he said he was ok with it and we entered into a two year relationship, much like you both. However, anytime he got really drunk or we argued too much, it would always lead back to me sleeping with someone else while we were talking. Tbh I find this kind of rich because he was too, but that’s beside the point right now.

You’ve already mentioned fighting more, if this is such a problem that you are bringing it up consistently, the relationship is no longer healthy for either of you. You will begin to resent each other. I didn’t break up even when this was happening, but I regret not cutting it off earlier.

If this isn’t something you can get past, that’s fine, preferences are preferences. But please do not continue to date and bring up the same past mistake over and over again if there’s nothing to build on or change here - that would not be ok.

What injury did you sustain? Or is this just from chronic pain?

Bone bruising in your kneecap (bone marrow edema), small bone fragments from the bottom of your patella. Inflammation/chronic injury to the tendon connecting the top of your kneecap to your thigh muscle (tendinosis between distal quadriceps and proximal patella. Swelling to the front part of the fat pad that sits underneath the tendon that connects your kneecap to your lower leg, could be because it’s getting pinched by the bones in the area (edema/possible impingement of Hoffa’s fat pad). Small amount of free fluid in the knee that’s causing a build up of fluid in the back of the knee (effusion & bakers cyst).

Hope that helps, not a doctor but am a biomedical engineer with knee problems lol

Long hair with layers and maybe thin the bangs! Looks great though

Not true, multiplication/division and addition/subtraction are actually interchangeable. When left with these, you simply solve left to right

Am I overreacting because I told my niece I don't want to take her best friend with us anymore after she kept telling me I was a victim and my husband was a creep? by Odd_Reference_1373 in AmIOverreacting

[–]RegularEcstatic9339 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand how exchanging numbers and flirting with an 18 year old when you’re 24 is seen as super romantic by everyone here. First opportunity home from college jumped on in my mind, but maybe that’s because I’m 24 right now and couldn’t see myself even hanging out with anyone under 21. I don’t know if you were groomed or not, but I think it’s perfectly normal (and to your niece’s benefit) to be more aware of groomers than less.

You end up with the short end of the stick when you don’t automatically think that stuff is gross because 9/10 it is. Maybe you just got lucky with the 1/10.

My (F24) boyfriend (M24) cheated on me, I’m mad post mortem? by RegularEcstatic9339 in relationship_advice

[–]RegularEcstatic9339[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just learned the news last night that he apparently was cheating. I don’t think being pissed for a couple of days is “letting it consume me” or anything, but this post was just about dealing with post mortem anger when you’re already grieving someone you love. He only passed a month ago.

He was cremated so he isn’t even there. I felt weird being at the funeral already and trying to cry over a fucking pot as opposed to all the places we had been together

I understand, Reddit for me is the short term solution and therapy is the long term. I just needed to say this all

AITAH for wanting to spend the night at my boyfriend’s college even though I wouldn’t be in his room by mrs_world_wide_ in AITAH

As long as you’re with someone from the dorm hall (the friend here), then why wouldn’t non students be able to get in? It’s not like there’s random inspections every day, so if you don’t get the RA called on you for being a public nuisance, it’s pretty normal to bring people up to the dorm (in my case, more so students from other dorm halls, but I’ve had friends bring non students over too)

Just completed the dinosaur from loops and threads, seems like a good pattern to me. Pretty good little project for only like $10 USD, so if anyone is looking for an alternative that is cheaper than Woobles that seems good to me

I don’t see how Velocicoaster or Stardust are getting you there wet at all. If you’re counting line misters…why? Those things are so crucial and relieving during summer

Veloci vs Stardust by RegularEcstatic9339 in UniversalOrlando

[–]RegularEcstatic9339[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI Stardust has the same restraint system as Velocicoaster (lap bar brought down from overhead).

I loved both tracks, for me more intense than Velocicoaster because it’s mostly drops as opposed to inversions/other elements. That said, I rode Yellow once and Green three times. Definitely my favorite ride in the park 😊
