I get ocular migraines once every 6-9 months. Started about 5 years ago. Flashing lights radiating outward over the course of 30 minutes, followed by some mild nausea. Thankfully no real headache with it for me, but I know others will get the full migraine experience. First time it happened freaked me the fark out. Now I just recognize the first symptoms and plan accordingly.

Did you talk to the doctor about that? That sounds pretty intense and i would definitely look for a reason of that. In our family there is another issues, my husband, kinda young man has already first signs if ED and he needs to buy viagra online from time to time. The worst thing about it - he doesn't want to talk to anyone as he feels ashamed or something.

Have talked to my ophthalmologist, basically same causation as the normal kind of migraines, just presents its symptoms visually. No lasting damage or anything. Basically should count myself lucky I don't get the headaches with it.

Well, all signs were pointing to a herniated disk.

Barely slept the nights previous to last night. I was able to make it the entire evening without ice packs or nsaids. I'm also able to stand and sit for longer periods of time. Which seems quick for the constant pain to fade for a disk. I also have full range of motion except for bending forward, which is still painful.

Either way. My posture has improved almost overnight. Which certainly helps. Hopefully it's just a frightening muscle pull because I have to fly to Missouri for work on Monday.

Back is very much on the mend.

Now I fucked up my hip. Likely because of exertion and strain from using other muscles for the back. This feels like a fcucked up hip labrum. I messed mine up almost 8 years ago to the day. Healed after a couple weeks. Excruciating to bend over, sit down, or stand up.

Sounds like you might have the Creeping Olds, dx.

My SIL played hockey for Bowdoin. Apparently, and I only learned this via her need for surgery, that when women play hockey, the leg and hip positioning during the game can cause XYZ thing that then leads to a tearing of one or both of their hip labrum. She’s now in discussion about a hip replacement for her right hip joint because the labrum repair surgery only lasts so long.

I’m in a similar situation for my left shoulder, only my timeline is longer before eventually replacing it.
 
Kind of wondering if I'm going to be in the same boat eventually. I did something to it eight years ago. Not entirely sure but I have always suspected it was when I took a swing at a bouncing soccer ball and missed during warmups. A day later I was very sore. Eventually hurt to sit.

When I went in to have a hip checked, after the x-ray, the doctor came in and with a very serious tone said, “it seems like a classic case of TMB.” I fell for it, and obligingly asked, “What’s TMB?”

”Too many birthdays.”


Fucker.

that's funny
 
I recently has the worst stomach infection ever. Had to puke for two days in a row. Couldn't eat anything or even drink.
Luckily by the end of second day i received my medication from canadian pharmacy and could sleep finally as the puking stopped.
Next day i also felt much better, but still have no idea what was that and where did i get it.

On Monday my FIL was notified that a 33yo man passed away. He was marked as an organ donor and his family honored his wishes. That last but there may be the most important part.

At this moment, my FIL is being prepped for surgery. He was second on the list, and we almost all happen to have 2 kidneys. Either tonight or early tomorrow, my father will be in recovery from his surgery, assuming all goes well.

The surgery would’ve happened sooner, but it took time to match recipients for all possible organs.

ETA: I’m just hoping this doesn’t happen.
