Watchful waiting is a fairly standard way of figuring out what's going on, using time as a diagnostic tool. If it's unclear what's happening and there's nothing obviously life threatening then waiting and seeing what happens is reasonable. Things will either get better or it will become obvious what's going on. Aye, I was just referring to doctors who can't be arsed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By time I went to ooh few days later they sent me straight a&e. Pneumonia and sepsis and about an hour from a coma 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good reason to switch to another surgery. Yeah, this was pretty much my diagnosis on my knee. I twisted it quite badly when I was 10, then as I got older every time the weather got damp it would swell up to twice the size, to the extent that I would have to wear a knee support playing football at around 26, eventually having to give up competitively at 30. Still every time the weather got bad it would swell up, when it does this now (and for the past 6 years) it makes me struggle with stairs. Went to the docs about 8 years ago showed him the swelling on my knee and got a scan booked on a glorious summers day, they found nothing obviously. Doctor had no idea, told me he could see nothing wrong and that I just have to take pain killers and anti inflammatories every time that happens. Like I always have done. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the PTTGOYN is the fact that the doc has absolutely zero idea what it is and therefore can’t fix it. No a very good doctor if he doesn't know what a leg is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not recently enough to cause this. I've been under a lot of stress recently and the headaches come back last night (been awful today) and I strangely feel a lot 'lighter' after this. All cleaned up and appears to have stopped, will need to keep an eye on it though. Keep me in your prayers. x Edit : RIP Mole Gallagher tshirt.

BFTD Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I had what the on-call doctor referred to as an "anal nosebleed" once. Apparently not serious and people get them all the time. Doesn't help much to know that when you go to flush the lavvy and it looks like Leatherface has tried to force his latest victim down your u-bend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
