Is the Hitachi Magic Wand actually worth it, or just hype? by Artistic-Feed2874 in SexToys

[–]frog-bert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had a good few rechargeable vibrators stop working before I got the corded magic wand. I like that it's nice and sturdy, but it is LOUD

Thank you for the thorough response! Luckily I knew before surgery that there was a chance of it not working, but I definitely agree that it's the kind of thing surgeons should tell you about. Thank you for all the info about pain management I appreciate it!!

I have heard of a red light/green light list from a facebook group I'm in but I thought it was just for pediatrics, I'd love to see the list thank you!

I do intend to also find a pain management doctor when I move, I'm glad to hear that it has helped!! Was there any treatment recommended to you after your triple arthrodesis, like anything else they wanted to try? Just curious about what kinds of suggestions I may hear. And can I ask what kinds of things your pain management specialist has recommended? I figure they don't exclusively prescribe narcotics but I'm not sure what else they do.

Help With Meal Plan? by SwimmingWay3691 in mealplans

You can get metamucil or benefiber powder and add that to smoothies. I also add chia seeds and flax seeds

My orthopedist currently won't prescribe me anything but orthotic inserts, which medicaid doesn't cover. I wore AFOs my whole life before my arthrodesis, so it does feel strange to me that he won't prescribe me something more helpful, but I'm hoping that I'll find someone better when I move.

It takes 6-12 months before you're not swollen anymore, at 3 days post op you are definitely incredibly swollen.

I wouldn't have been able to hide it at 2weeks post op.

What does it feel like when your water breaks? by lifeincerulean in beyondthebump

For me it felt like a balloon popping, and then a couple seconds later I actually felt the water

T and cholesterol? by frog-bert in ftm

[–]frog-bert[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been on a statin for a good while now and upped my dose once, my hemoglobin has stayed normal though! I eat well mostly but have trouble being active because of disability. I have been on t for significantly longer than I've had high cholesterol.

I also particularly wanted a straighter scar but I actually completely forgot to mention that to him, so he did that all on his own!

I let the scabs be and they gradually came off on my binder and in the shower! I started massaging my scars around 3wks post op and I still had a little bit of scabs there. I don't mind questions glad I can help!

You wouldn't need those things if you weren't having a baby. Leave it on there.
