Sounds like tendonitis. This is an easy remedy:Johnny Carwash wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2020 2:10 pm So for about a month I've had a minor but persistent pain in one elbow. It doesn't hurt to the touch, and there aren't any outward signs of swelling or bruising, but it's always there whenever I lift more than a small amount of weight in that arm.
I've looked up things like tendinitis and bursitis, but they don't sound quite the same. Considering it's not a time for non-critical doctor visits, any idea what this might be and what I could do about it?

Thanks Chedd. I’ll give it a try.govmentchedda wrote: ↑Thu Apr 23, 2020 2:16 pm If it's muscular, I'd try and do some tibialis raises to strengthen that area.

Using the service is simple enough.
If you plan on paying without insurance, just go to the GoodRx website and type in your medication.
GoodRx then shows a list of cash prices and coupons at participating pharmacies near your location, which you can print or save on the GoodRx app.
Then, similar to using a coupon at the grocery store, you just present the coupon at the pharmacy counter when you pick up your prescription.
How Does GoodRx Make Money?
According to their site, GoodRx makes money from advertisements on their site and referral fees.
These referral fees are based on the number of GoodRx coupons that are used at a pharmacy.
In recent years, the company has also began offering a premium membership program called GoodRx Gold.
This includes a monthly membership fee of $5.99 for individuals and $9.99 for up to six family members.
The plan promises to save customers even more money with over 1,000 medications for under $10 each.
Do Pharmacies Lose Money With GoodRx?
The sad reality is that many pharmacies lose money when they accept GoodRx.
Prescription margins are already razor thin and the referral fee from GoodRx likely puts them in the red.
So why do they do it?
Well, for some pharmacies, the idea is that by accepting GoodRx a pharmacy will attract more customers to their business, which gives the pharmacy a chance to sell other non-prescription products and potentially earn future business from that customer
And so, despite the pharmacy losing money on the individual prescription, the hope is that the additional business will make up for it.
This is also why many independent, non-chain pharmacies won’t or hate to accept GoodRx. The majority of their revenue comes from prescription medications.
Unlike a CVS or Walgreens, when an independent pharmacy loses money on an individual prescription, it is unlikely they will be able to offset the loss by selling convenience store products (i.e. greeting cards, snacks, etc.).
This can really hurt smaller pharmacies who are unable to absorb these types of losses.
That is what I thought, but he didn't think that because of where my pain is located.
I prefer a stranger do it and make sure my left hand has gone to sleep before emailing.
About a month ago, I suddenly had a small bump on the top joint of one of my thumbs. Until this very moment, I was certain that it was a ganglion.bfj wrote: ↑Fri Jan 08, 2021 11:11 am Anyone else deal with osteoarthritis? Heberden's Nodes suck. My fingers hurt like a mofo.
I had this forever. Turns out it was a carpal-tunnely pain that was being caused by my computer chair being too low.

Cut the grass Saturday and shoulder was on fire by the time I was done. Got sent for an x-ray today. They just wrote an order on a prescription pad and told me i didn't need to make an appointment just walk in, so I figured I was in for a bunch of hassle. Nope. Hour and five minutes from leaving my desk back to it and included a stop for a sandwich on the way back. Well-oiled machine.
Yeah I have that to look forward to if the xray doesn't show anything.Gunpowder wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 2:11 pmA_B wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 2:05 pm Been dealing with some shoulder pain for about a month now.

In my experience, xrays are usually really easy since a ton of doctors have them. MRIs however are a long and annoying afternoon.
This ended up going away after 2-3 months by the way. It was weird.Gunpowder wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 2:08 pmI had this forever.
