Medical Advice Thread - Does this look infected?

Not yet. You seem full of autism and easily sperg out though. Who the fuck joins a website because someone else is going to take your username? Just the fact you have a username you use on other websites. Didn't you read the big fucking warning when you signed up?

i mean ive seen it, it doesn't turn out well for the author.

Shhhhh, maybe he'll do it.

Reading comprehension not your strong point, is it? Let me repost my reply for you:

If you'd actually read my profile you'd know I only made an account here because some waste with too much free time on his hands threatened to make an account here with my username and post dumb/vile stuff until "I" get halal'd. I preempted him, and am here just to shitpost, rubberneck, and for general discussion.

If you think it's a good idea to make a thread on me, go ahead and do it.

 

[Grub]

I read your reply . Yes, the thing you wrote summarizes as 'I joined kf because somebody was going to take my username and say bad things.' Implying that the overly generic username of MysticLord is used by you across multiple websites hence why you would be concerned some autist on here was making an account with that name.

Who knows though bitch titties, depends on how much you keep sperging out. How was the mastectomy by the way?

and I started growing bitch tits, necessitating their removal.

 

[Agran]

Also sounds like liver damage, how much have you been drinking?

How do you clean self-harm scars via razor on the arm and neck (No worries, no photos)
Is it true you can get drunk off bread and what kind?

I'm not sure on how much this could work, as I'm more parroting my information/knowledge that I know when it comes to lessening stretch marks and the very few scars I have myself (thankfully none from self harm, I hope you're doing better with that.) This also helps with people who have acne scars.

Exfoliation will definitely be your friend. You can use something like an exfoliation scrub, I personally like to make my own using coconut oil, honey, and granulated sugar. Coconut oil for the moisturizing, honey also helps with moisturizing but it also is an anti-bacterial, and finally the sugar is where the exfoliation comes into play, as it's gentle on the skin and with enough water that sugar will end up dissolving anyway (This is important as the skin on the neck/face especially is very sensitive. It's easy to form microtears in the skin if you use something too abrasive or acidic. Some facial scrubs use bullshit like ground up walnut shells, which obviously do not dissolve in water and WILL cause damage to skin. Just an example.) If you don't want to use a scrub, invest in a pair of exfoliation gloves like these:



The more important part after exfoliation if you're wanting to lessen your scars, is to MOISTURIZE. It is extremely important. Skipping this step may as well ensure your scars stick around.
Look for a moisturizer that has Vitamin C AND Vitamin E. Vit. C is important as it helps reduce dark spots, and also in general is an antioxidant that helps to fight free radicals in your body. Free radicals are responsible for skin aging caused by environmental factors, which also in turn fucks around with your scars. Vit. E also helps with free radicals, but it's mainly known for being soothing to the skin and helping keep in moisture, which again, is probably the biggest component for helping reducing scars and/or damage to skin. If the skin is nourished and healthy, then it will in turn continue to stay healthy and work to heal itself.

If you're confused on any of the info or have question, feel free to ask. I don't mind whatsoever.

Thank you very much. I think I have all of these items, including a lemon exfoliation scrub and moisturizers.

@HullDown, I did not hit an artery and I'm currently reading on Auto Brewery Syndrome; can't have that with my other health issues...yeah, I know because I'm a fat retard.

I'd recommend using something without lemon as your exfoliation, as lemons are way too acidic for the skin's natural pH, and will make your scarring look worse!

i know a magic treatment that can fix you all, i am an internet doctor you can trust me
just kill yourself i guess i mean it obviously can't get any worse for you if you're asking kiwi farms for medical advice.

 

[Alleviate]

I do daily stretches and jogs, they've even replaced my smoking and coffee drinking habits. It's just as therapeutic and of course, healthier. I never have any pain issues or cramps either thanks to jogging and doing scratches everyday.

 

[lurk_moar]

I have PCOS and am on the depo shot. My gyno has increased my depo shot to every two months because of breakthrough bleeding and period flu PMS. Despite being on birth control, my scumbag ovaries like to randomly hurt. My breakthrough bleeding has yet to stop. My reproductive tract is like a mucus factory. Help.

Do I just go and get a complete hysterectomy in Mexico?

Also, my gyno and nurse practitioners are my coworkers. It breaches medical ethics to bug them as Lurk_Moar, MLT (ASCP) while being on the clock in a white coat instead of just Lurk_Moar the patient who has to make an appointment just like everybody else.

I can also interpret your lab results in this thread.

There's a reason why doctors are wary about performing hysterectomies on women younger than their 40s, let alone the fact that doctors would prefer said women try to have a baby if at all possible. It's not because they don't give a shit, it's because the surgery for such a procedure is so taxing on the body. They're taking out an important part of the body that does more than just be a "baby maker", it's a big muscle in your body that holds your lower abdomen in place. If you're sexually active or even care about being sexually active, expect your vagina to shrink down a few inches. Some women have had breakdowns due to changes like this because it's that much of a change for their bodies, and again, this is speaking from the anecdotal experiences of women who have already had kids, and have already lived a good amount of their sexual lives. It also is not the sort of procedure that just magically heals up in a year or two, try five years, or even more. If it's a complete hysterectomy (which would include the removal of the ovaries), then the hormonal changes would also be severe, even if you're already supplementing with birth control, aka, hormonal therapy.

Biggest point I make with this information is just the honest to God fact that a hysterectomy doesn't magically fix all the issues (and from my POV, it was witnessing a family member needing a surgical fix to her endometriosis/unending bleeding), and through such a procedure, you may have other complications arise that you may have never even thought about happening, which ultimately could cause more grief in your medical journey.

@Weed Eater is right. Don't you fucking do it. Shit can fuck you up big time. If I've learned anything from older women in my life and trooner-zoomers, it's that hysterectomies should absolutely be a last-ditch effort. Just do that thing that fries off all your endometrium and prevents it from coming back for several months.

I've had symptoms of low T for a while now. I've started an exercise regimen and am changing my diet with the goals of losing weight, is there anything else I can do or is "stop being such a fat bastard" usually enough?

I'm getting pretty frustrated with this trapezius strain I have that doesn't seem to fucking go away.

I was doing muay thai 2-3x a week and a 5x a week daily pull up progression program back in November when I think I pulled/strained my right traps doing pullups. Shit hurt in a line of sorts down from my neck, down into my shoulderblades. I wasn't a cripple but it definitely hurt enough for me to lose sleep for a good week. I stopped everything and let it rest for 2.5-3 weeks.

December 10 I had been feeling good for a week so I went back to a muay thai session on a Saturday. Felt great the next 2 days, and Monday morning I woke up and this fucker was screaming at me. Right back to another week of lost sleep, plus another 3 weeks of just letting it rest to be careful. Had been good on pain, nothing to report, for the last 2 weeks so I went to muay thai for the first time since Dec 10 on Saturday, basically it had been about a month since I had done anything physical.

Felt great, good again on Sunday, and again on Monday. Now I fucking wake up Tuesday morning and this dull fucking pain is right back. Its less sharp, I shouldn't have any issues sleeping with this, and it is much more localized at the top of my shoulder. But still. What the fuck? I've been resting a lot, my diet is pretty good despite it being the holidays. I havn't been doing any pullups for about 2 months now. Over those 2 months I've gone to two 45-60min muay thai sessions after at least two weeks of feeling fine, and felt great afterwards for days. Then I randomly wake up and my shoulder is back to fucking with me.

I have no fucking clue how I am supposed to get better here. I can't judge that this is healed, and I can't even judge that it is re-injured until a few days pass apparently. This don't make no fucking sense and it is enraging. Am I just supposed to not do shit except walk....for like 3 months or something? Its to the point where I am considering just ignoring this shit. Its had plenty of time to heal from the original strain, if I am not going to get feedback that I have re-injured it then it can just fuck right off and I'll just deal with it. I feel great for days after I throw some right hooks, so maybe that's the fucking ticket since doing nothing doesn't seem to be it.


Fuck I'm pissed about this.

I remember reading a while back that you only absorb like 20% of Vitamin D taken through supplement so you should get 500% your daily recommended Vitamin D. Any truth to this?

Never heard of that, but there's widespread agreement that the RDA is set way too low. Google for some of Rhonda Patrick's videos/podcasts on vitamin D if you really want to get into it.

I take at least 5k IU year round. Make sure you take it with some fat.

Go see a physical therapist? In the meantime see if anything here might help:

There is some truth to it, but be aware of Hypervitaminosis. Vitamin D is amongst the few vitamins that can become toxic when overdosed.

 

[Disgruntled Pupper]

So since last summer I've noticed that Claritin makes my heart rate spike, usually at night. It wasn't anything too bad, usually it just jumps to 110 for a half hour or so and goes away. Tried switching to Allegra, did the same thing. A few days ago I tried just a regular Benadryl before bed and I woke up two hours later sweating with my heart rate at 145. This lasted for 3 hours and I almost went to the emergency room. Since then I haven't taken anything and feel fine, haven't had anymore episodes. I've been on allergy meds my whole life and have never had this happen and I'm kinda paranoid this might be a sign I have something going on with my heart since I know antihistamines can cause this in people with underlying heart conditions. I just saw my ENT and my blood pressure is fine, but should I bug my GP for a stress test or something? Does this mean I can never do meth again?
