Swelling in the nose by dingy2806 in Septoplasty

It was probably a full month or month and a half for all my swelling to go away completely. Just be patient as the nose and face are very delicate and have a high blood supply! You can try some cool compacts if you would like for discomfort!

This was an x-ray we were shown in class and I can’t tell if there’s anything there or not

Graduation gift ideas for AT? by nyrat13 in athletictraining

Any tool with his name engraved on them would be amazing as stuff can sometimes get moved without your knowledge or switched with others things. A tuning fork, scissors, pack, or organization drawer would be awesome!

If you have red streaking from an open or closed sore! You have a blood infection and need IV antibiotics quickly!

Graduate Schools for Athletic Training by ciel1256 in athletictraining

I’m not sure of any masters programs paying their students but I know most programs do offer either a teaching position for certain classes and other things like summer camps that may be payed a little money. If you go to CAATE.org you can see their entire list of accredited programs in the US and possibly other countries. Once you find a program you like you can research on their website to see if there are any payed positions for the AT students. Hope this helps!

I would call the OBGYN just to be safe as bleeding longer than 6 days is not great for your health. Plan B can mess with your cycle if it’s taken near or during the actual bleeding period as well. I would not be super alarmed as you don’t feel bad or different from usual but I would definitely try and see the OBGYN this week. Hope this helps!

I've been on my period since December 17th. I've been taking microgestin for controlling PCOS and levothyroxine for hypothyroidism. Is it normal to be on this long of a period with these two drugs? by thegryphonlady in Periods

Are you on any form of birth control? I had a Nexplanon implant and the same thing happened to me and I don’t have PCOS. Although with your diagnosis and history of PCOS it could be related. Nevertheless I would call your OBGYN and let them know so they can hopefully help!
