I have the weirdest medical issues... WTF? - Page 2

Silock · 05-02-2007, 05:36 PM

So, I noticed after working out yesterday afternoon that my left forearm was quite swollen. At first, I thought, man, this working out stuff really works, but it kept getting bigger. I gave it a few hours, but the swelling didn't go down. There's a lot of fluid in my forearm, as I can press my fingers into my arm and it retains the imprint for a good 10 seconds before it goes away. I tried ice and compression, but it didn't go away.

So, I went to the doc. Two different doctors had no idea what caused it. I got x-rays and an ultrasound looking for blood clots, but everything was clear. Blood test came back and all my levels were well-within normal. So, I'm now taking a little ibuprofen, trying some heat and ice, and going back on Friday for a followup. And they told me no more working out until it goes away.

WTF?

Does Olathe count?

Maybe not for elephantiasis. Rhinoiasis, sure.

Sounds like a bee sting to me.

I don't think you can get elephantiasis from a bee sting.

You have to admit, it's one of the cuter disease names out there.

The scary part is that I didn't look at your location until just now.

I fail to see how that would be amusing.

Silock · 05-02-2007, 06:31 PM

That would depend entirely on the diagnosis.

Had a similar experience. Bee stung my hand at a Chiefs game. Next day it was swollen to twice its size. I just masturbated until went away. That was a rough 5 days.

You should have invested in a bottle of lotion.
