I have the weirdest medical issues... WTF? - Page 4

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?

Yeah, he did that. But that can't be it because my schlong is shrinking.

I think they got pills for that now

Hmmm, I'm kind of wishing the bursa sack in my knee would burst. If not I may have to go and pay to have it drained.

Damnit Doctors!

Work out with me. I swear I can get you broken. When I run, I get shin splints. When I play soccer, I injure my patellar tendon. When I lift weights, this happens.

I can break you.

I just get lots of tweaks, which used to heal in days. Now I'm 34 and it takes, well, let's just say "more than days". Right now I'm fighting this swelling in my knee (which I've had surgery on twice over the years; I'm overdue for my next), and minor tweaks in my right elbow and ankle which just make things uncomfortable. I'm not smart enough to stop until I aggravate one or another of them so badly that I can't lift for a month.

Oh, and running outside (not on my treadmill, which I had been doing for months) is why my knee has been swollen for 2 weeks.

That's what happens to me. Apparently, I push myself too hard and end up breaking.
