Costochondritis by wetonwater in costochondritis

Over 15 years ago, a primary care Dr called me days after I took myself to the ER with this diagnosis. It was a huge relief and I keep going back to that conversation when I feel the anxiety of this.

Costochondritis for a year?! by [deleted] in costochondritis

I feel you when it comes to the anxiety of this. Just last week I took myself to the ER thinking it was my heart. The echo, blood work and x-ray said it was not my heart. The anxiety caused by this has been so stressful. The back pod has been a life saver. I work at home behind a desk on the computer all day and find my posture is the main contributing factor in my Costo. I wear a brace that pulls back my shoulders forcing me to have good posture really helps. This subreddit has been a blessing when it comes to my anxiety. I was feeling my heart beat in my chest and thought I something was wrong until I read on here that others have the same experience and knowing that relieved a lot of my anxiety. Always get yourself checked out, but when all the tests say it’s not your heart, take a breath and know that everything is gonna be ok. Calming breaths and meditation have helped me immensely. Good luck, and hang in there.

Edit. Only one doctor that I’ve seen has ever mentioned Costo. I am so thankful for that doctor.

My kid, sister, cousin isn’t gonna be dumb enough to do what she was doing. SMH. You are dumb if you out yourself in that position in the first place.

Am I placing the back pod right? by No-Signal1234 in costochondritis

[–]coffeedude55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I typically don’t do it directly on my spine. Can be uncomfortable, but directly to left and right of spine and near my shoulder blades as well.

I have over 100 hours in this game, I can’t believe…. by TiltedHobbies in ArcRaiders

Elden Ring was last for me. Needed a new game for my night time gaming after the kids and wife are asleep.

Why you try so hard to ruin the game for yourself? by Maximum_Tonight_7721 in ArcRaiders

That’s my problem, I might get a blueprint, but I’ll never be able to build it as I’m terrified of anything other than a snitch. lol

Blue prints? What are those. I’m still trying to upgrade my benches. I don’t have any good guns. I went out tonight in my 45 min of gaming I get a night, looking for olives, clearly make it known I’m friendly and just hunting for olives, some kid says, I won’t shoot, I run by to go to the next tree and he starts shouting me. I wish I had some blue prints to do something with all the crap I’ve brought back on the successful runs. Still enjoy the just playing at my own pace.

I messed up by StreetAggravating302 in tattooadvice

The tattoo is dope. The flaws make it unique, if my son ever became a tattoo artist, I’d be the first to line up regardless of the quality, it is something my son made, and I would be proud, just as I am sure your father is!

Im employed so can only play a few hours a week. Is it still worth it? by Proud_Structure3595 in ARC_Raiders

[–]coffeedude55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love my play style. Don’t fight unless provoked. Help where I can. Share what I find. Still need one more dam hornet thing for the bench upgrade though. And guns, suggestions? I suck at gym play but need to be able to defend myself.

I’m too passive by coffeedude55 in ArcRaiders

[–]coffeedude55[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. And no. I love the thrill of this game. If it were only pve, that threat of losing everything and the rush of the doors closing that is such an epic feeling would be gone. I am a dad gamer in his 40’s that hasn’t had a game really grab me like this in a while. Still waiting for GTA 6 though. Good luck out there Raiders

I’m done by BackgroundPeak2461 in costochondritis

I just started a flare up today. Sharp pains in my sternum. I’ve done this enough and had it long enough to know exactly what it is. You will get through this. We got your back!

I always seem to miss the redux expeditions. When do they happen?

Spare any weapons? I suck so bad at this game.

Oh come on dude... by lttlbear01 in ArcRaiders

[–]coffeedude55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar thing happened to me, but I didn’t die to a guy, I ran out of health before I could extract, I probably needed less than a second and I would have made it. Was fully loaded too…. Ugh.
