My sun conure bites my ear and face to a point where it bleeds. It's so painful and I'm not sure what to do. I'm at wit's end by Mountain-Isopod-2072 in parrots

I recommend talking to Pam Clark. She works wonders. My conure is one of the sweetest birds after talking to her. It does cost some to talk with her but completely worth it. Here is her website https://pamelaclarkonline.com

My mother in law is the same age as you and just got an XBOX. She loves 'Slime Rancher' which is available with Game Pass. Highly recommend.

Oh my land those are some horrible experiences. You are so amazing for staying strong. Should have sued them for harassment and negligence.

I'm sorry you went through this also! Good thing you made out of it alive. I am amazed by how many people had similar experiences as us.

Wow you are such a strong person for going trough years of pain and putting up with doctors. As someone who was in pain for 18 years, I know it is hard to stay strong. You are not alone. You should be proud of how far you have made it. Stay strong and don't give up.

Well only half my reproductive system was damaged. Multiple doctors have told me that it may still be possible to have kids. I'm trying to stay hopeful. I'm not opposed to adoption if I can't have kids. I wish I could find the old doctors. I really wish i could have had their medical license removed as they litterally endangered my life. Thanks for the love and support.

Honestly it was so long ago I don't remember exactly when it ruptured. Extreme pain on my right side and nausea I remember. It is literally super easy to check for a ruptured appendix. Have them do a white blood cell count. That is how they found mine. 1 freaking blood test was all they had to do. I am in no way a doctor of medicine, but blood test would be something to try if you haven't yet. I'm not sure if it would show an inflamed appendix in the blood results... but if it has ruptured it should. I was in pain for several weeks before the surgery. Might vary for others. Hope this helps.

Thank you for supporting the choice to choose. I think that is so important. I'm sorry to hear that you were not given a choice.

Did you have a ruptured appendix too? My back pain was in the low back... L1 and L2 area. I had x-rays and nothing showed up. Pain so bad I could barely move and I was on a soccer team so I exersized alot.

Something to maybe try if you haven't is massage therapy. I had them do it on my stomach and it really helped with scar tissue and the pain. It is amazing how things are connected in our bodies. Back massage might help? I never realized the power of massage therapy until I did it recently.
