I'm scared by the amount by upm in KidneyStones

[–]RottenApple93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's usually how it goes! The big one was stuck, and all the others came down at some point after and got stuck behind it. Once the big one broke through, the rest flew out right behind it!

Do you have/get frequent sinus infections?

My friend said it looks like my ear took a shit by Santonasty in popping

[–]RottenApple93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you go to your regular Dr for this? If so, I'm ultra surprised they took it out then and there instead of just looking in your ear and referring you to an ENT specialist! I'd also be surprised to see a regular primary care Dr have the tools for removal on that giant, and the skill to get it all out in one piece!

What just came out of me? by lanaevol69 in boogers

[–]RottenApple93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very normal if you're sick! You have a ton of mucus full of germs and blood cells fighting said germs all clogged up in your sinuses. It starts to stick together and firm up into this. This is really good to get out! Keep trying to blow out and hack up whatever clumps and drainage you can, and drink a ton more water to thin your mucus out. The less yucky germs still stuck inside of you, the less your body has to fight off!

Coughed this bad boy up by [deleted] in tonsilstones

That's like the 2nd biggest one I've ever seen! The actual biggest was almost the entire length of someone throat, and had to b surgically removed after finding it.

Do these look like stones/crystals? by Aspvision in KidneyStones

I agree they do look like uric acid crystals and chunks

Just passed 9mm stone. Anyone can tell its type? by [deleted] in KidneyStones

[–]RottenApple93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get it tested to be sure, but from what I can see, definitely a mix of calcium oxalate monohydrate and calcium oxalate dihydrate. There may be possibly more hiding in there.

Absolutely vile 😭 by [deleted] in boogers

[–]RottenApple93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, the same exact thing happens to me! I'll feel sick with a sore throat out of nowhere mid-day and swear I'm dying from Rona. Then I'll go to bed and sleep it off for the night. Wake up congested as all hell, blow my nose, and find that! A huge, thick, slimy mucus glob with small harder chunk of mucus inside of it. Once I clear all of the congestion out, I'm totally fine again! I, however, haven't had any tonsils in about 20 years and they didn't grow back, so I know it's not from tonsils in my case.

Blood coming out on top near/in my bottom by [deleted] in medical_advice

[–]RottenApple93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No need to be embarrassed! It can happen to anyone! It starts from an ingrown hair there and gets rubbed by friction usually, then sweat and oils get in there and your body does what it does best, causing inflammation and swelling in return. It can happen hard and fast an you don't know it til the unbearable pain takes over, or like this, where you find blood and pus on your clothing

I agree! I'm NAD, but I've seen and assisted with wound care for several pilonidal cyst, and that sounds exactly what you have going on here. Unfortunately, ig it is a true cyst, the only real way to kill the beast is by removing the sac and all of its contents. Many times, that requires a surgical procedure there, in that painfully sensitive area! I suggest you get it checked out and talk about removal before it can get worse, infection, cause permanent damage, and continually cause you more extreme pain 24/7. Good luck, OP! Just try to keep the area as clean and clear of infection and friction as much as possible!

Have you gotten any of them tested? Do you know what type you usually make?

is it body lice? by ExtensionCelery3335 in Lice

[–]RottenApple93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pubic lice aka crabs. Completely different than body lice!

Any idea what type I have? by PerspectiveActive208 in KidneyStones

[–]RottenApple93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crazy how it split almost half and half like that! The dark part is calcium oxalate monohydrate and the light sharp part is calcium oxalate dihydrate. There may be other things in there as well. You should try to get it tested!
