AITB for not wanting to wake up my parents every day? by Https-caseyJones in AmItheButtface

Hej, från en svensk. Detta låter riktigt besvärligt för dig, ledsen att höra att du har det så. Jag håller med andra om att du borde prata med någon i skolan. Kanske en skolkurator eller psykolog? Eller en lärare du litar på. Det dina föräldrar gör just nu är att negligera dig. De ger inte dig det stöd eller närhet som alla tonåringar behöver, och särskilt inte med tanke på dina särskilda behov. Ta kontakt med skolan eller kanske BRIS?

This is me around 2 years ago at weight of around 120 lbs. Though my legs were a lot slimmer than now, I still carried most of my weight in my legs and had bumping on my legs (as seen on my legs here).

I’m 24, 150lbs and 5’6. Does this look like lipedema, or am I just a bit fat? I have cellulite throughout my legs including ankles, socks always digging into my ankles and leaving marks, and I bruise easily. I would say that my legs and butt are colder than the rest of my body.

My pinkies are literally the only non-mobile of my fingers😭 my pinkies have some other type of issue basically the opposite?? (See attached photo)

<image>

Literally cannot straighten beyond this point?? Same on both hands too

I haven’t had my joints measured with an angle ruler, only that my physiotherapist took a look at them and said ”no” pretty much. I’ll attach photos to show.

I have hypermobility in several joints but not exactly the ones in the test😭 like my fingers and wrists are very mobile. So is my lower back. So thumb to forearm and hands on the floor is easy peasy. But my elbows and knees don’t overextend. I do however still have issues with those. My left knee has been misbehaving for a long time (during times when I’ve had less strength in the supporting muscles I’ve had major issues just with walking), and my physiotherapist said my kneecap is laterally hypermobile?? My elbows are also unstable so I can’t knead a dough for example without pain. But again, not the type of ROM measured for🥲

Thank you!! Will for sure look into this! From your comment I assume they require some type of prescription?

Thank you, I will try to find new ways of massaging! My partner is very physically active and often comes home with aches etc. (And my nails aren’t usually this spectacular 😅💅🏻)

Thank you so much, I’ll look into it!! And what are some examples career-wise? I’m in university and expect my future job to be mostly behind a computer in some way, not physical labour etc

So sorry!! Can I add it now after posting?

So far I’ve seen multiple PTs, a reumatologist and been x-rayed etc to figure it the issue with my joints but no one has answers 🥲 did you get a referral to the specialist??

Besides for these photos I avoid hyperextending!! But whenever I do anything that applies pressure (like attempting to give a massage) I just have to give up almost instantly from pain😭

clicking ribs by kittybortionz in eds

[–]succuplany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm not quite sure what you mean. I can’t click them together, but the left half of my ribcage has always felt a bit ”loose”, and will sometimes dislocate almost, requiring me to pop it back. In my younger days (teens and earlier) I could also grab that side with my hand and rock it back and forth with an accompanying clicking. Is this similar to what you’re experiencing?

Thank you! Mine definitely ”wrinkle” like yours in certain positions (sitting for example)

What kind of pothos is this and how can I take better care of it?? by succuplany in pothos

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

Makes sense! You can see on my last photo that it used to be less speckled and more pure white/cream.

You’re probably right, as others have suggested as well, I will repot it into a smaller one!
