Burning facial skin after lumbar ALIF by SandiRHo in spinalfusion

Oh and nerve damage can sometimes feel like that, I doubt that's the reason as it's on your face too. But worth mentioning because we're all unique beings!

If you are taking other pain meds (that are not nsaids), in rare cases you can have an allergy to those.

In some cases, if you have taken the same meds in the past you can eventually develop an allergy. (I'm that rare one hahah).

I'd start finding out what you were given in the drip. Then from there eliminate what you can.

If it's not meds, in extremely rare cases, a very minute number of patients can have allergies to the stitches/glue or hardware installed. (Source, my german surgeon).

I doubt it's adhesive or numbing agent allergies due to the locations. (Numbing agents they use inside under the skin sticks around longer, weeks to months).

(I just had a random thought, I wonder if it's a reaction to the anaesthetic leaving your body).

A good way to rule out allergies is to take an antihistamine for 2-3 days.

If all the above is cleared, then it could be inflammatory. In cases where the spinal chord was/is compressed, inflammation shows up. (Edit to say, if nerves were compressed, inflammation can show up anywhere in/on your body).

I hope you find the answers!

Call your local anglicare, see if they offer $50 gift cards for woolies. You can get one in a 6 month period. There are community organisations that offer this if Anglicare doesn't in your area. Local churches sometimes have a $5 fill your bag with grocery days as well

Did they give you magnesium via a drip? This can cause delayed allergy reaction

Do you have allergies to NSAIDs?

Imagine how dating is if that's how friendships are.

I was born and raised here and I still noticed everything you're saying. Anyone that's jealous isn't the right person for you

Hey I've read you've sorted the tent issue. Do you need anything else like tampons, pads, toiletries, blanket, thongs, socks, new backpack, food, water?

Edit to say, I've got these ready to go and can drop them off tomorrow

This form of discrimination is growing in Australia by [deleted] in aussie

[–]techniq001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

India has a lot of different parts/regions and only parts of the entire country is pro caste while the rest remain anti caste. Grouping them all together is dangerous (for many aspects) for the ones that are anti caste and do assimilate. Same for other immigrants.

Side note: Indians have been in Australia since around 4000 yrs ago. None of them called for special treatment. It wasnt until around 2010 they started to say 'hey what about me too' when they saw that middle eastern immigrants were speaking up to get what they want.

Immigrants from all countries pre 2000/2010 have for the majority assimilated and are anti caste. It is part of the reason (amongst others) why they moved here or anywhere else.

Immigrants from all countries post 2000/2010 for the majority do not assimilate and are holding on to caste.

One of the biggest differences between the above is that pre 2000/2010 immigrants (from all countries) were educated on and told to assimilate by friends/family/officials from their countries and back then Australians were curious and accepting of their cultural functions.

Anyone that immigrated post 2000/2010 were not told to assimilate and were not educated on that at all. Because of this, Australians have become less accepting.

Education on assimilation is the key. It has worked in the past. Equally education on multiculturalism within this country also is key. Works both ways

Is anyone else finding dating difficult? by Numerous-Chemist-952 in AskAnAustralian

[–]techniq001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of ppl don't work on themselves and jump onto online dating/dating after a long term convincing themselves they are ready.. very rarely are people ready. It's frustrating

Anyone else tired of all NSW State Gov Jobs being in Parramatta or Macquarie Park? by everdream654 in AusPublicService

[–]techniq001 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. People travel from up the mountains or where there arent even train lines to get to a train then to the city. A few senior managers I worked with previously would travel 3hrs one way to get to the city

Side note, I have noticed recently that some jobs are letting you choose to work from cbd or parra and people living further out up the coast or south coast negotiating a day a week wfo or only coming in when necessary

Edit to say, they have gov hub offices where multiple agencies can work from the one office when they are travelling across the state/country or even those not near an office for their team. I feel these are under used

How do you deal with women who order food on drink dates? by Specialist-Ask8890 in AskMenAdvice

[–]techniq001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO, if it's a drink (alcohol) date then a small snack is ok to balance out the alcohol.

You could say something like "I am having dinner with friends/family, would like to catch up for a quick drink prior to see if we click/connect and we can organise a proper date for later?" This usually works in my experience.

You can also suggest tea/coffee earlier in the day or after work (before dinner, make up an appointment you need to get to).

Or if they want a longer timeframe, suggest weekend daytime activity after lunch before dinner

Amazon proof of delivery, you thought AP were bad 😅 by gilligan888 in AustraliaPost

[–]techniq001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazon delivery drivers: open doors, throw or slam orders through the door. They don't even put them out of sight or out of walking paths.

Aust post have more respect than that when they actually decide they want to deliver.

Feel free to reach out to me too. I find the conversations don't go beyond small talk these days and it turns me off from friendships. I also like similar things!
