peasy23 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Had surgery on my arm a fortnight ago to release a trapped nerve. The resultant bruising has been spectacular. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonksy+HisChristianParade Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Anyone else had any jaw problems? Not sure if I took a knock to it at football but since Tuesday night I’ve been unable to chew without a shooting pain in the right side of my jaw. It’s fine with speaking etc. and just seems to be biting into stuff where it hurts. It’s made eating a horrible process and I’ve been mainly eating protein shakes and stuff like that since then. I also used to be able to click my jaw and now I can’t so not sure if it’s just misaligned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it goes on too long I start getting this tense feeling in my neck and the only way to stop it is to sit down and take really long, deep breaths. When I do this it stops about as suddenly as it starts. I'm talking like at least twice as fast when it happens. Am I likely to die some time soon? See your GP.

'WellDel Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Would imagine this is a condition which will have been discussed before, but any hints or tips would be welcome. Have had what I would rate as mild tinnitus for a long time. A high pitched noise which is there basically 24/7 and is more/less noticeable depending on situation and surroundings. Lately it seems to have gotten a bit louder and more intrusive. Do any other P&Ber's suffer from similar, and have any advice or remedies for dealing with it ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 One of my nostrils is producing lots of hardened mucus, with blood, really quickly. I’ll blow my nose and within a couple of hours be struggling to breathe again. Should I call the funeral directors? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google says stop blowing your nose so much, stop breathing such dry air all the time or see your GP. I'd go with the latter if this is happening over any sort of sustained period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 The wee boy poked me in the eye yesterday with the sharp end of a tube of cream. Sore as f**k at the time. 24 hours later the eye is redder than a 3 day hangover and streaming and irritable. Went to the chemist to pick up an unrelated prescription and she asked about it. Told her what happened and she sent me direct to the optician where I was seen, eye photographed, puff wind tests and dye inserted. Turns out there’s a big gash (ooer) been taken out and it requires antibiotics, anaesthetic gel and a return trip in a week to check it’s ok and no long term damage. The problem is neither of these two treatments are drops. They are gel which means using a tube to squeeze some specific amount into the eye without it touching the skin around it. Nigh on impossible. @Shandon Parlevels of calamity here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Apparently the tailbone can crumble over time, making it very painful to sit down. When it gets bad enough, they operate and wheech it out. I'd never heard that before, and thought I'd share.

It could be arrhythmia or something like that - it isn’t usually serious but it’s worth checking out. A guy I work with has it and had an episode that meant he was hospitalised but he just had to put in place some lifestyle changes - lose a bit of weight, avoid stress, lay off the cocaine and hookers. Not worth it imho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
