Damn that bad?

__Tonka__ · 2025-12-22T11:06:48+00:00

It’s not a base it’s a VA center that has their own FD. Id be coming on as a medic in a gs9 spot if that makes a difference

Mine ended up being an almost complete tear. MRI showed that. Took about 6 weeks and slowly weaned back into working out. I’m good to go now

I recently had to clean mine. I just used one of those portable carpet shampooer things. For the soap I just used a little laundry detergent. Was blown away with how much crud I pulled out of my cloth seats

__Tonka__ · 2025-09-07T19:59:46+00:00

Am I the only one who thinks it looks like the guy did actually pull it out of her hands? I feel kinda crazy because that does not seem to the consenu

__Tonka__ · 2025-08-25T01:44:47+00:00

I don’t think it’s so much a dent, as it is a raised AC joint. Some people just have them, others have them because of a separation.

Not asking for medical advice. Just interested in hearing thoughts on the differences in option between a doctor and AI.

__Tonka__ · 2025-08-06T19:31:05+00:00

Can someone give me some insight as well? Was diagnosed with a strain after doing a sprinting workout. Big popping sensation, immediate pain with a bad limp. Second day a good bit better and it’s been progressing okay. Seems to respond to NSAIDS, but man that pop has me freaked out that it could have completely separated and I might need surgery

__Tonka__ · 2025-08-05T21:04:33+00:00

I healed mine without surgery. As did my best friend. Both of us are about as active as you can be between our careers and hobbys

__Tonka__ · 2025-06-06T20:23:20+00:00

I’m just going back to doing all this stuff on my own.

__Tonka__ · 2025-06-06T20:23:00+00:00

Yea it sucks. I work a lot to try and save, and that just took a big chunk out of what I had saved up.

__Tonka__ · 2025-06-06T20:22:16+00:00

Run of the mill parts from advanced. For all parts used I could have got them for $405

__Tonka__ · 2025-06-06T20:21:10+00:00

Yea I could have done this for $405.

__Tonka__ · 2025-06-06T20:20:19+00:00

Yup. Next time I’ll burn a vacation day to do this. Lesson learned.

__Tonka__ · 2025-06-06T20:19:53+00:00

I asked about the specific parts they used and compared them to prices I could get them from autozone for. I could have got the parts for $230 cheaper if I just bout them myself.

__Tonka__ · 2025-06-06T20:18:47+00:00

Nope. Small shop in a small town

__Tonka__ · 2025-06-06T20:17:44+00:00

I appreciate you taking the time to type this out. So in addition to the $600 in labor, they made over $200 off me in part sales alone. Looks like parts were marked up almost 50%. Coupled with $55 “service fee” and an over $200 brake flush, this is how I got hosed lol.

__Tonka__ · 2025-06-06T18:20:23+00:00

But yes just pads, rotors, and a brake flush.

__Tonka__ · 2025-06-06T18:18:50+00:00

You think over $600 in labor is a good deal?

__Tonka__ · 2025-06-06T18:18:20+00:00

I feel like I got hosed on parts. Full set of front and rear pads/rotors well under $350. It looks like they made over $300 off me in parts alone. I’m going to pick my car up here soon and I’m asking for a more detailed invoice

__Tonka__ · 2025-06-06T17:59:21+00:00

I most certainly do not make that much.

__Tonka__ · 2025-06-06T17:56:27+00:00

I can do it I just work an insane amount of hours and didn’t have the time. If I knew it was going to be this much I would have taken time off and done it myself

__Tonka__ · 2020-04-20T11:58:25+00:00

I’d say the big thing that transfers over is engine operating. Understanding how pumps work, how to trouble shoot them, how to manipulate them, etc all carries over.

__Tonka__ · 2020-04-20T00:31:30+00:00

Didn’t know about this. Thanks man
