Health Problems anyone?

[El Jefe]

I had to start a thread on this for my personal complaining, and out of curiosity to see who also has bad luck. Well I am only 19 and I have always played sports, I was All-State in basketball and started in football as a sophmore. I have broken my left ankle twice, and broke and dislocated my right ankle I had to get a plate and 8 screws in that rascal. I have had hip pointers, broken fingers, stitches (from an elbow during AAU under my eye 8 stitches and a trip to the ER on my birthday lol), fractured foot, etc. My recent injuries are so hard to cope with especially in a physically demanding job.


Last year I had a few scholarships to play ball and I was playing hoops a lot, and I ended up tearing my lateral meniscius. So due to insurance issues we had to wait for me to get pre-approved for the surgery and it took 4 months. Then I got the surgery to fix my knee well all went well, except all wasnt well with my knee, its still messed up. I lost my scholarships and I couldnt go to school and I am gonna have to get another surgery on my knee here in the next 3-4 months probably.

Then my back has been messed up for 2 years, they said I herniated two of my discs, and its hereditary believe it or not. So I had 3 epideral shots into my back all at different times and it didnt help. I had to do 3 months PT to get it back to normal. It came back about a month ago and it has been the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life (remeber I broke and dislocated my ankle and that isnt fun). See these discs affect my psiatic (dont know about the spelling) nerve and it shoots currents down my entire right side and its pure hell. I cant sleep at night cause its always throbbing. It was so bad last night I almost went to the ER, man I wouldnt wish it on anyone. But the Doc gave me some perscriptions and said if it doesnt fix it I will have to get back surgery eventually. I am only 19 and thats not something you want to hear is back surgery. I was just curious if anyone has had this similar problem, Or what you want to whine about.

It's not painful, but it is irritating.
Most often it is loud music, but it can even come and go with soft noise, even my own voice. High pitches are the worst [my SACD of Blonde on Blonde, with all the harmonica, can be excruciating]
It's not that I can't hear, or that the sound is distorted, but the sound is filtered, seemingly before my receptors receives it, through a paper bag or some sort that creates a rustling overlay, like is I were listening to something in a gale force wind.
I have some hypotheses about ear wax, but haven't found a correlation I can announce with confidence.

Stewie is correct. From the diagram below, you can see that all you need is to have your ossicles rebuilt and to change out your cochlea fluid.

And don't go to Jiffy Lube. I hear they cheat you.

I've never broken anything, had surgery, or even had stitches. I guess I'm just lucky. *has heart attack and dies*

I am a brain cancer survivor - they opened me up with a skill saw tyope deal and removed a softball sized, Grade III Anaplastic Astrocytoma from my head..."but I'm feeling much better now"

I also have arthritis in both knees, shoulders and my left hand as well, where I was hit by a car as a kid; all the bones were broken.

I also had an accident in college where all of my tendons (left forearm) were fully severed and alsdo the Median nerve was cut almost completely in half. I lost 15% mobility of my left hand (I am a lefty) and had to learn to write right handed.

Ironically, my handwriting is MUCH better with my right hand for some reason.

I had that once, it lasted 5 days, I HATED it!

I've had every bone in my body broken, twice, a liver transplant, three limbs amputated, a lobotomy, heart transplant, lower intestine removed, dentures and a sex change.

Heh, it was a drunk thing, I went out after work and got liquored up and wasn't paying attention.

I wasn't talking about YOUR glass berginer chag....but since you're here, wait over there and we'll see if the gyno has an extra speculum.

My own glass berginer has been documented here....or maybe its bronze baows that were the cause.
