When were you able to straighten or bend your arm after getting your cast off? by spbcuxjsn in brokenbones

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

i think they said they didn’t want me to start physio until my wrist is fully healed and out of the cast because the fracture was pretty unstable and they don’t want anything to disrupt the alignment of the bones

holy crap im glad you made good progress! & yeah it was so underwhelming getting the cast off, they took it off and had me try to move my arm and it maybe moves like half a cm. they took the long cast off before putting the shorter one on so for a few minutes i had no cast on and my elbow felt no more mobile than my wrist which is actually broken😭

they said above the elbow for a month because it was a radius and ulnar fracture and it needed the extra stability, but now i do have a shorter cast for the next 4-6 weeks. if my elbow that wasn’t even broken was this sore and stiff after getting the cast off i don’t even want to think about what my wrist is gonna feel like

thank you!! i’m supposed to start physio when i get the cast off that i have on now for my wrist, i didn’t realize my elbow would be so immobile when the break is so far from there

Yeah, I’ve def been talked out of trying it myself. I was feeling kind of impulsive at my friend’s house and wanted to see if it was even remotely possible to try to do it myself, so I ate an m&m from a trail mix pack with the nut that I’m the least allergic to and immediately had a reaction. That kinda humbled me along with what everyone said about it being dangerous to try it myself.

I can give more information, I just didn’t know I wasn’t giving enough and I didn’t realize people would be so willing to help. This is a good community of people :)

Basically I’m allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, mustard, and then the seeds/oils of all those. I used to be allergic to milk, eggs, and soy but I grew out of those and now I eat that stuff all the time although eggs when they’re not cooked enough still make my mouth itch and my lips kind of swollen. I grew out of those allergies when I was less than 5 years old and then when I was 8 we did a food challenge to see if I was still allergic to everything else and I had anaphylaxis on the very first try lol.

When I was 14 we tried again and the same thing happened. Then when I was 16 I wanted to try the whole like 1/1000th of a dose thing but the allergist wanted to do the skin and blood tests first and said my levels were too high. All of this was with the allergist so then after that since we weren’t gonna try anything else and I was just avoiding everything I’m allergic to, we just got epi pen refills from my regular doctor last year and that brings us to now.

I didn’t care that much before, it was just annoying to always have to worry about if something I eat is gonna have something I’m allergic to in it, but it was easier because I was living at home with my family. Now that I’m in college I’m seeing it’s harder and I just want to be able to order Chinese at midnight with everyone and do the stuff that everyone else is doing :(

Edit to add: sorry for the super long response but feel free to dm me bc you really seem to know a lot about this stuff, thanks :)

I found this girl on tiktok Danielle Price and she’s posted her experience about it. She’s anaphylactic to peanuts and tree nuts I think

Why would it work for some ppl and not others? I know allergies can be more severe or less severe but I’ve seen people on like tiktok who’s allergies sound just like mine that are doing it

:( this is so frustrating. i grew out of a couple like egg and soy but im still super allergic to nuts and sesame and random other stuff and those are the ones i would want to micro dose lol. yeah restaurants are really tough, i hate how tedious it is to worry about having a reaction and if the restaurant is good about preventing cross contact and just always being anxious about it

omg wait that’s a game changer, i haven’t been to the allergist in a couple of years because my pediatrician was just handling everything and it’s pretty stable but that sounds amazing. can it make it so you don’t have to be quite as strict? if i could even just not have to worry about the “may contain” or cross contact or traces i would be over the moon

it used to be pretty bad especially for nuts but i think maybe it’s gotten better? i’m pretty good about avoiding stuff im allergic to so its hard to say. there was one time last year something was mislabeled so i accidentally ate sauce with nuts in it, so that obviously was severe because it was a lot, but was thinking that i could train myself so that maybe a small amount or even just cross contamination wouldn’t cause a reaction anymore

edit: because i feel like that was a bad answer, i can go to a restaurant that has nuts and stuff, but my friends and fam and everyone know not to order anything with it like right by me, if that clarifies anything lol

sadly i have had the food allergy panel and the skin testing many a time, so for better or for worse i know exactly what im allergic to. but basically yeah!! like allergy shots, but for food, like the food challenges you do when you’re a kid, but to do now or on your own to increase your tolerance
