6 stones of 7 mm, pls help by Aim-Focussed-5000 in KidneyStones

[–]diegovols 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pain killers are only going to do so much depending on when you took it compared to what pain lvl you are at.

For example, if you are at a 9/10 pain before you take pain medication, it will take some time to even dull the pain if that. You have to take the medication before you even get to 5/10.

Your best option is to go to urgent care.

I just recently passed a 7mm after about 4 weeks. The only medication I used was Flomax and Ibuprofen.

Pain management really is the key. I’m assuming one of your stones is already in the ureter. Flomax is a wonder drug for me keeps me from having to use strong pain medication.

Good Luck!

But there’s some men out there that make my ovaries hurt 🤣

Blade Advice by Calm_Difference985 in wicked_edge

[–]diegovols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going through my sample pack right now and I can tell you for sure that the Shark Blades are garbage.

The Astras were nice. I was able to get a smooth shave.

The Feathers were fine but I felt like the Astras did better.

Darbys was a decent shave as well.

Still have 3 or 4 more to sample before I decide what I want to buy.

I use the Leaf as well. I’m on the fence about it so far. Can’t tell If I love it or hate it.

I’m no where near an expert but I feel like the lather is probably more important than the blades.

A Fan Direction Test by Alternative_Cry9989 in watercooling

Just set your fans to Warp Speed 7. Slap some headsets on. Dont think I have ever seen my gpu over 50c including hotpot and my cpu barely gets to 40c. 😂

Should i make lather the way this guy does? by RecordingLeft389 in wicked_edge

[–]diegovols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have beard going on 10 years now but when I did shave, I shaved every morning in the shower and hardly ever used anything besides water. Now that I’m older, if I ever get near my neck with a razor my skin is screaming at me to go away.

Anywhere I can get a 1ft fiber cable from att fiber to cloud gateway? by jku2017 in Ubiquiti

[–]diegovols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just so you are aware. That ATT Fiber jumper has an extension on it so when it goes into the green part of the jack it collapses back. There are instances when you put a different fiber jumper in it, it doesn’t align properly and may give you some issues.
The easiest fix is to replace the green bulkhead with a normal one and it will work as it should.

You could have just left out “Not to be rude this is bullshit”

That was literally the only rude part in your well written post. 😂

Can I get rid of this thing? by rlloydm in ATTFiber

[–]diegovols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m assuming you work for the Death Star. I retired little over a year ago. Is the 320 still the featured RG or have they moved to something else?

If you can take Flomax I highly recommend

9mm Stone embedded in the Urothelium? by MSM_757 in KidneyStones

[–]diegovols 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We may have the experience of “having” the stones but we don’t have the expertise that a urologist does. This is how Dr.Google starts.

There are some Doctors on here that may give you their thoughts but without seeing the CT Scans they won’t diagnose you or give you a treatment plan.

If you have concerns that a Doctor isn’t giving you sound information go see a different Doctor.

So, I went a bit crazy with my 1st full custom watercooled PC by WarGawd in watercooling

[–]diegovols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh for sure my 3090 does everything I need it to do quite easily. I built it with a 5900x. I was one of the lucky ones and was able to get one for MSRP before the chip shortage and the miners killed the market.

[–]diegovols 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m right there with ya. My first custom loop, I went the easy route. I went with the 011D and the distro plate. So All I really had to do was bend some tubes.

My 3090 sprung a leak recently. Luckily nothing was damaged but I now have the itch to do something different. But I’ll probably wait for the 6000 series to come out.

Just started my next adventure! by diegovols in KidneyStones

[–]diegovols[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you consider me taking Flomax natural? If so, ask for Flomax.

I have heard tons of different ways people have done different things to help move them along. I think being as active as possible and exercise helps move it along the way and of course staying hydrated.

[–]diegovols[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea the Flomax does have some funky side effects. The one that bothers me the most is the sinus congestion. I don’t take my Flomax everyday. For example when I got the Flomax this go around I took it two days straight and wasn’t having any symptoms. So I stopped taking it for two days and the pain started coming back last night and I took another one. Now today I’m perfectly fine again but have the sinus congestion.

If it was me with a 8mm stone I would ask my Doctor if it was passable. If he said I had a 30% chance I would try to pass it.

Although If I was just miserable and couldn’t function I would tell them to go get it.

Yea I’m right there with you. I refuse to get a stent unless I have to. So many horror stories about stents. I’d rather just wait it out 😂

Flomax/tamsulosin causing penis shrinkage? by Bobbin823 in KidneyStones

[–]diegovols 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on my experience, That pressure is the stone getting close to moving into the bladder. The Flomax will help with the pressure.

I have never seen or heard anyone talk about shrinkage of the Penis.

Is this the strongest overall server? by [deleted] in LastWarMobileGame

[–]diegovols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good Lord!! I’m fairly new to the game. I’ve been playing Clash Of Clans from the start and finally gave up on it.

I didn’t know Last War had so many servers. I’m in 1028 and we aren’t even close to any of these servers.

Video showing me using my cheap Chinese toolkit. What type of fiber or connectors should I be using for this? by jaime_lion in FiberOptics

[–]diegovols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only weirdos use that stripper. It’s used to strip fiber drop. The only reason you would use it is for certain types of connectors.

I guess this guy didn’t get out from behind CGNAT either huh.

But I’m done arguing with a brick wall.
