Try having someone kick you in the balls, that works too.

I think that's probably a little too far.

What's weird is that when my knee finally did stop hurting from the initial action, the gout attack was gone. Maybe it was the red wine and cussing? Knee does still hurt though.

Pretty sure I broke the left pinkie toe banging it HARD on a small bookshelf last night at 4am walking to the fridge to get a water. I mean I’m sure of it now. Wasn’t sure this morning when I did an interval workout on it, but now I’m fucking sure. Damn it.

I got a mosquito bite on the tip of my middle finger.

Fucker actually hurt quite a bit. What worked? Dipping said tip of finger into Goody's headache powder. Instantly.

Thanks to everyone who was checking in via DMs ... shoulder still a bit dead and elbow maybe off but the tingling/numbness is gone. As always, just waiting it out is the best response to physical ailments.

I'm 90% sure I re-tore the left one playing wiffle ball about 2 months ago. Felt it happen, pain hasn't decreased at all. Being my left shoulder, I don't think I'm going to bother having it looked at. Only thing that hurts was swinging a bat that day, which I rarely do anyways, and a few weightlifting exercises I had to stop for shoulder pain before muscle tiredness. The right shoulder is a bigger concern.

I re-tore mine playing fuckin' air hockey in January. So dumb. I mean I'm sure it was being frayed constantly but air hockey??

Air hockey is pretty bad. My wiffle ball game was against 13-14 yo girls. In my defense, half of them play club softball.

Air hockey in the sense of air guitar, right? Like you were mimicking an actual slapshot? Surely it couldn't be the other thing.

Vertigo bump.

Dave how did this turn out (not sure i could find downthread if there was more to it)? i.e. did you ever find out whether this was indeed vertigo?

I'd never had it before ~10 days ago but holyfk i got it from doing situps (?) and then a few days later followed with the worst migraine of my life. went to the dr. since i thought my head was exploding and she reassured me that the 2 can be intimately related. everything was settling down late last week but this past weekend i got the vertigo again just rolling over in bed and now it's happening fairly often. freaks me out; like 5 seconds of being thrown in a washing machine.

DaveInSeattle wrote: Tue Aug 16, 2022 6:50 pm So....after getting hit by a car on Saturday (see the random thoughts thread), I've felt mostly ok...sore, with some bruises on my hip.

I closed my eyes and laid down, and it went away, but I felt "off" most of the rest of the day. I made a dr appt, and he said it was vertigo, and it happens sometimes, but it likely wasn't related to my fall (I did hit my head, but I was wearing a helmet, and the medics did a concussion check and said I looked ok).

But then...this morning...same thing...only the spinning sensation lasted longer this time.

Wondering if I need to make another doctors appointment...or just stop doing that one stretch.

I have something similar, started around 35-40 yo. I get crazy dizzy doing pretty normal things, like walking down the staircase in my office building. It was a pretty tight space, lots of turns. Two flights and I felt like I did that spinning on a bat game. Amusement part rides that spin are out. Talked to 2 doctors about it, both said it's a normal aging thing, something with the inner ear and most people get worse at dealing with balance issues as they age. I've never had the spins last more than a short period of time, just that it gets triggered easily.

Hey speaking of concussions. I may have gotten one yesterday. Hit my head three times, and despite my hard hat's best efforts, I've had a headache for about 32 hours now. Went to our doctor. He wasn't in but nurse did the basics check and said I seemed OK at the moment. But I have to go back to them if the headache is still there tomorrow. I don't feel weird or off or anything, just a headache that will not stop.

Only dealt with concussions with the kids but there was no definitive “you have this level concussion” diagnosis or test. And they recommended not taking painkillers because it could make you feel better than you really are. I assume they told you that if they want you to monitor for a headache.
