well i don't have anything comparable to the double-whammy above, but i played marble madness to intensely a few days ago and now i have a legit NES thumb injury. pressing and holding up-left on the d-pad is absolutely out of the question right now, too much pain

FYI we managed to save that toe, it looks fine now.

loli'll take your word for it
no need for a photo
― Karl Malone, Friday, 1 September 2017 15:49 (six years ago) link
I don't take pics of healthy toes... There are photos of the toe that got removed, pre-op, and it doesn't look quite as gross at first glance, until you realize what the yellowish stuff in the middle of the wound is

It happened again. Twice in 1 day. I think it's a sign of aging.

Also I had assblood. Only sharing that because I'll take any opportunity to say assblood.

it's completely non-gross, but in the interest of fairness I will admit that I walked out of my hotel, made it probably five blocks, and it wasn't until I sat down to wait for food that I noticed an odd lump
somehow, in putting on the jeans I was wearing yesterday, I failed to notice that yesterday's underwear was still in there. so I was wearing pants with underwear stuffed in the back for at least a half hour.

I love mh's story and I told a few of coworkers about it earlier today and a couple of them had had similar experiences. One woman said panties came out of the bottom of her slacks at work.

So have any of you dealt with foot fungus? I've tried clometrazole (lotrimin) for two goes and now I'm trying a diff one. It retreats but never completely goes away, and then it comes back. I feel like maybe I need to take additional measures like special socks or something.

i have in the past had this recurring thing on the top of my feet like stigmata. horrendously itchy and seep-y. never got an actual diagnosis apart from my own divinity, but a clotrimazole + betamethasone dipropionate lotion was ultimately *extremely* effective. i mean things almost instantly got better, it was amazing

just had a colonoscopy. i feel startlingly gross and dopey from the sedative/ anasthetic and its been 2 hours since i got home. ugh. what a trial one of these things is!

Medical TMI: for years I had what I thought was a lipoma on my back, next to my right shoulder blade. It grew over time (about 2 to 2.5 inches in diameter) and started to look kind of gross and got a little annoying, but nothing about it fit the description of cancer and I just never dealt with it.
Last week I went to a dermatologist about something else and he noticed it looked really red. He told me it's not a lipoma, it's a cyst, and it looked "angry." He said I'd better call a plastic surgeon and have it removed soon. It got way worse over the week to the point that I couldn't sit back or lie on my back, slightest touch was painful, even my clothes brushing against it. Doctor put me on antibiotics and I made an apt with a plastic surgeon.
I get to the surgeon and I find out they do "consultations" first and can't do surgery on the first appointment. Then I'm waiting 45 minutes and I finally say to the receptionist "Listen, I am in a lot of pain and I need this thing out of my back. I want something done about this today."
The doctor agrees to pop and drain the cyst. It's so big and inflamed that he can't really give me enough lidocane to numb the skin, so I basically feel him cutting a large hole in my back and then squeezing an extremely raw and inflamed cyst really hard, one of the most painful things I've ever felt in my life. Terrible smell, fluid dripping down my back, etc. In a weird way there was something good about the intensity of the experience, not that I "enjoyed" the pain, but there's just something about knowing that you can tolerate and survive pain.
Back is covered in gauze now and pressure behind my shoulder is dissipating, which is nice. Have to go back and get the "sac" removed in a few months.

Had the exact same thing many years ago. Except I went to the emergency room after it exploded! They cut it out immediately.
― brownie, Tuesday, 28 November 2017 15:48 (six years ago) link
Sort of wish I just went to the ER so they could just cut the damn thing out.
― IF (Terrorist) Yes, Explain (man alive), Tuesday, 28 November 2017 15:54 (six years ago) link
Glad the pressure is gone at least.
my sympathies, having a cyst drained w/added squeezing action is traumatizing
― mh, Tuesday, 28 November 2017 15:57 (six years ago) link
man alive iirc youre a fellow sw0le bro
this is completely unscientific but do you by any chance consume protein shakes or any other bcaa?
i got two of those things on my back (same spot as you + on my lower back) a long time ago when i was bulking
the doctor wasnt able to tell me what caused them but i think it was related to protein shakes/BCAAs i was taking
anyway, mine were removed and it just smelled like bad cheese, oozy and shit. one left a huge scar which is fine (looks like i regular knife cut), the other one just looks like i was shot (a round scar)
anyway the pain sucks ass sorry to hear that
i pulled a groin doing squats 2.5 months ago. my balls are in almost no pain now so just doing stretches and body weight squats
think i might try to get back to lifting this weekend
