what's happening to our borad TMI

and yet i keep bookmarking the last post so that i can be alerted whenever there is new content on this thread

i am my worst enemy

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

honestly just posting to get that toe crisis pic above the fold, lol

still there

POST FASTER FFS

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

lol
i'll take your word for it

no need for a photo

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

You'd hope it's pus, but it isn't

Are we beyond the fold yet?

down to the bone

Eat less sugar, guys.

xpost, this guy gets it.

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.

i don't understand this peeing-on-scrote thing

perhaps you can diagram it?

let it be noted I was out drinking with Je55e last night and none of these things surprise me

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'm not *surprised* just unclear

Sometimes my balls hang below the end of my penis and they get into the pee stream.

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.

Jesus man, just put a finger or two down there and aim

And take your goddamn pants off before your underwear, people, sometimes efficient and lazy aren't the same thing

I'm tired and my eyes blended Jesse's two posts together and I thought he was saying some of his co-workers accidentally got in his pee stream

metaphorically true though

"I just heard from a couple of my coworkers, be right back"

I have never been more thankful about having images off

Diabetic Toe Crisis sounds like the name of a ska punk band.

Jesus man, just put a finger or two down there and aim sounds like a board description.

fwiw I usually take my underwear off before my pants, having learned my craft from david copperfield

feels good man

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.

one post for each foot, smart

Lol

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!

(Not sure if you’re intentionally avoiding the phrase “pain in the arse” there, and I might be stepping on your joke)

tee hee

Haha I wasnt tbh! But yes.

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.

Sort of wish I just went to the ER so they could just cut the damn thing out.

Glad the pressure is gone at least.

my sympathies, having a cyst drained w/added squeezing action is traumatizing

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

there's just something about knowing that you can tolerate and survive pain.

for real!

glad yr ok

um, since i'm coming off a groin pull from two weeks ago: when did you get back to jogging? I need some exercise like a mother.

well i really never jogged once i started lifting for real, so i still don't jog now

but it depends on the severity of your pain is what a medical professional told me. i literally could not walk. i thought i had a hernia tbh

the intense pain went away in about two weeks of me not doing anything but sitting and lying down

for the next month i couldn't really spread my legs (i drive every day) or lift my legs/feet

in 1.5 months i started walking normally but was basically traumatized by it so i was scared to do any movement that would make it come back because i would sometimes feel it coming and i would literally stop what i was doing and rub my inner thighs or press on my right inner thigh really hard because that seemed to prevent/relieve it

that lasted for another month. i felt good but i was told not to even think about getting back to lifting otherwise it will never fully heal

so now i'm doing stretches like really light/easy yoga stretches plus some regular "lifting" movements without weights

the pain was so unbearable i couldn't even work my upper body

the weirdest part of all of this is i started getting shocks of pain in various parts of my body. i guess as my body was losing muscle it was having a hard time adjusting. my upper arms (biceps and triceps) felt it the most. it was really weird. those went away quick though

good luck to you

Oh man, how did your wife not pop that thing? :(

Yes, I watch those Dr. pimple popper videos for fun.
