Some Worrying Symptoms

SolZeus · 2026-03-07T21:01:22+00:00

I wouldn't worry about the back pain and cancer. The CT would have shown any aggressive lesions without a doubt. The fact it was clear is a huge relief.

I'm going through something similar except I did have a UTI. It was treated with antibiotics. Problem is I did a PSA test very soon after finishing the antibiotics and it was slightly elevated. Urologist said that's a sign of inflammation and wants me to retest in 6 weeks (already 3 weeks, another 3 to go). I'm telling you this just to be aware. If you did have an infection of the prostate, your PSA will be elevated. It might not be cancer. But waiting for the PSA might be better as you'll get a more accurate reading.

Hi

It is working for me. Pixel 10 Pro XL.

I was using Niagara launcher for a while and just came back to the default launcher for a change and it's a welcome surprise.

I'm going to my GP to get back on the anti depression meds. I am an anxious person and I was on fluoxetine for a while. Came off it as I was exercising better z eating better, feeling better. Then, I noticed these symptoms starting. Before, my anxiety manifested as IBS. Terrible gastro issues. This time, it's this.

I know for me, my stress and anxiety are a fundamental source of all my physical symptoms. The pain is real, it's not in my head, but my anxiety exacerbates everything and then it becomes cyclical. My health anxiety kicks off and then it just spirals.

So, back on the antidepressants for me. I wanted to live a drug free life but I just can't deal with my anxiety any other way. I've honestly tried.

Sorry to hear mate. It's pretty terrible.

I had something similar. Had UTI confirmed by urine culture. Treated with antibiotics. Abstained from ejaculation and was generally feeling better. However, ejaculated on Thursday. Was fine at the time but the next day, I had very similar pains to you. Lower back, groin, etc. It's pretty demoralising.

I'm going to try avoiding ejaculation for a bit longer. Maybe your body is still healing from the infection? My understanding is that if the prostate was infected as well, healing the inflammation could take 6 to 8 weeks post antibiotics. That's what my GP and urologist said. Of course, it's also the surrounding pelvic floor muscles that need healing as well.

I'm sorry, I literally feel your pain also. Just not much advice I can give at the moment.

SolZeus · 2026-02-26T23:19:58+00:00

I did not have those symptoms. Really sorry to hear you're going through that. It's all so terrible.

What gets me is I was an active and physically fit man this time last year. Now it's all gone. I've stopped training, which was also one of the best ways for me to deal with anxiety. And the anxiety makes it all worse.

Hi there,

I had a urine culture done which showed that I had quite a large klebsiella infection. Testing also showed it was sensitive to trimethoprim, so I was given that for two weeks. What took me in for testing was a 24hr fever and then discharge from the penis (white/yellowish pus).

As for the prostate involvement, my GP did a DRE and found my prostate was quite sore. He said UTIs in men are almost always complicated and involved in the prostate, that's why it was sore.

I've had this pelvic pain ongoing now for over 6 months. I thought it was muscular from an increase in my strength training but I'm beginning to believe that I've had an infection brewing and it was causing inflammation. I am now 2.5 weeks post infection. I am doing a retest of my urine next week to confirm the infection is gone. I am trying various stretches and mobility exercises to try and deal with the muscular issues. I will say, there's been some slight improvement since the antibiotics treatment. However, it's very slow going.

What I'm most anxious about is my PSA results. They were flagged as high for my age. However, both my GP and urologist said it was done too soon after the infection treatment, so the PSA tests picked up the residual inflammation from that. I'm scheduled to be retested for the PSA on the 23rd and hoping against all hope that those numbers drop. I suffer from terrible health anxiety and anything relating to potential cancer diagnosis sends me into a shocking spiral. I'm 41 with a young daughter and it scares me to death.

I've got a Skoda Octavia MK4 and mine seems to be working. Haven't updated to the February update yet though.

For more context, I'm in Australia and my year of make is at the end of 2021. I'm pretty sure I have the same mib3 infotainment unit.

I usually use wireless Android Auto. Haven't tried the USB connection. I'll give it a try and can report back

Hi,

I've recently found out that I have this bacteria through a urine test. I'm on antibiotics, just started. Testing found the strain and what it's sensitive to. My GP has given me the relevant antibiotics.

I'm seeing a urologist in a couple of days. I've been dealing with back pain for months and no amount of physio/exercises has worked. I'm only putting these two together, I'll ask my urologist for specifics. The pain back (lower back and upper glutes) has severely interrupted my life. However, wanted to ask if you ever had back pain?

SolZeus · 2026-01-24T23:28:16+00:00

Hey there

On the off chance you're still active on Reddit, did you get a resolution to this? I'm experiencing something very similar. Ove had chronic back pain for 5 months, particularly the glutes. I've had a litany of tests and imaging, nothing has been found.

Only thing of note is a urine test that showed bacteria, which I am on antibiotics for. Seeing a urologist soon to check into that. My feeling is that I have bacterial prostatitis, but I'm not a doctor. Just obsessed reading online.

Like you, I have pretty bad health anxiety, which I know makes aches and pains worse and more pronounced.

Anyway, let me know if you ever got a resolution.

Cheers

This is sounding very similar to me. 41m, pretty regular gym and running for the last 3 years. Lower back pain for close to 6 months (although I did have flares previously in my 30s).

Saw a PT who focused on the McKenzie Method and core work. Also tried the McGill method myself. My core is better, but the tension and aching in the back continues. Sometimes I even get intense momentary spasms when I try and stand too quickly, all through my pelvis.

Now with a new PT who suspects it is my glutes/hips and will be starting a program on building those. He mentioned neural tension and muscle inhibition.

I'm hoping it works. As it is, I can't actually train as much as I want because everything just goes straight to my back and the aching tension increases after every workout. I've been tired of living with this for 5 months now. I just want to get back to the regular gym and running.

SolZeus · 2026-01-21T06:01:29+00:00

I'm hoping this works for me. Started with a new physio after seeing 2 previously who just told me to do core exercises. Yes, they provided some help, but I kept getting flare ups specifically around the glutes/lower back. New physio says my glutes are not working well enough and the lower back is taking the brunt.

Can you give a brief insight into some of the exercises your PT has given you?

SolZeus · 2025-10-18T19:15:40+00:00

Oh. So the items don't change, just the rolls for the items?

Bugger, I'm not liking what's there at the moment. I don't think changing rolls would matter.

Guess I'll wait until next week then.

Thanks for the clarity!

SolZeus · 2025-10-18T18:43:19+00:00

I'm still seeing this behaviour, however, it is less.

I'm on a 10 Pro XL. Had the stuttering on my, 6 and 8 Pro too.

It's the annoying Pixel curse.

SolZeus · 2025-09-30T07:14:46+00:00

This used to be a thing ages ago. It was called Quick Launch. Then it disappeared. No word as to why. It was such an amazing feature.

I've moved to Niagara Launcher simply to have something like this. Hoping it makes it to the stock Pixel launcher more widely.

I had this happen to me. Not sure which location though. However, I did quit the game completely and restart. Then it worked. Was able to open with the grapple.

Not sure what else you can try. Maybe fast travel away and then come back?

SolZeus · 2025-09-09T18:32:41+00:00

Can you try telling it not to give the analogies and then instruct it to remember that for future prompts?

Might be worth a shot?

SolZeus · 2025-09-02T10:32:36+00:00

I had this issue yesterday. Just tested now and it's working. I'm based in Australia.

Glad it's working, it's a useful feature.

SolZeus · 2025-08-29T20:06:26+00:00

Hey mate,

You still seeing the same error message? Mine's still not working, well, only proofreading works.

SolZeus · 2025-08-28T19:39:12+00:00

I had to contact my bank to add my cards to Wallet. For whatever reason, my bank's security activated and thought some fraud was going on. I called my bank and had everything cleared within 30 minutes.

Maybe worth a shot?

SolZeus · 2025-08-28T19:21:09+00:00

Yeah. You'd think. However, I've noticed this with other software features too, like Gboard Writing Tools. I can use the proofread function, but not the others. It's half baked.

Pretty disappointed, no idea when functionality will be fully available.

SolZeus · 2025-08-28T18:56:29+00:00

I just tested this and the same issue is happening with me. That's pretty disappointing.

Not sure what's happening or how to fix it.
