Real men don't do that , We know how to conduct ourselves when were in that situation , boy's as i was once , didn't and she was my first , 18.5 yo and spent 9 months in traction. (i was in traction , body wash ) Body works ok when warm and flexed . Sloth
Meat I don't know how yall categorize things around you're location but down south if you tell someone you think you pulled a dick string, Generally they will nod that head and say Yeah that's happened to me once or twice,Rest up !!!
I feel much better already. Those giant Ibuprofen helped me once before too. Whatever specific tendon or ligament it was I’m not taking that area for granted again. It’s connected to a lot of things. Hip, back, leg and ball sack. Stretching will be the key I feel. I need to drop at least 10 lbs too. Sheesh.
Be careful with the giant ibuprofen. I burned a hole in my stomach taking those. It was quite memorable.
Wonder if you will get an extra Valentine's Day card next year? My main doc is female. Never been an issue - I'm sure she's seen a million outies and I've probably gazed at and inspected a similar number of innies. I like her approach and that she's willing to collaborate. The majority of male docs I've had over the years have had the "god" attitude, which is not one of her weaknesses. Your doc is a very important person in your life and each one is over 300 times as likely to kill you with a medical mistake than a random firearm is likely to kill you. Choose wisely.
Kidney damage is the main problem most have to worry about. I remember several football players having their careers cut short because they took massive doses during the season before people realized the severity of the problem. IMO it kept Seattle's "Deep Heat" Daryl Turner out of the Hall of Fame. He went from the fastest guy in the NFL to a wheelchair. Unfortunately it's one of two over the counter pain relievers that works for me.
@Meat I'm glad it's nothing too serious. I don't go to doctors, but if I did, I would very much prefer a lady cup my balls than a man who probably likes other men.
I think I’m going to live thank God. I’m definitely going to save the extra Ibuprofen for SHTF. Those and resting up (which is never easy) did the trick. Funny topic but serious too. Yikes!
We monkeys may make light of your predicament, meat, but for a survivalist / prepper, men's health issues are just as valid a concern as women's health issues...the pity of it is that men generally are not as proactive as women in acting on emergent health issues early, unless the illness is excruciating and clearly life threatening.
Yeah, I’m good at poking fun at myself too. Straight up though that was like not having a left leg. Things like that depress me because I feel like it’s a career-ended yet, doing it right I’m back to business in short order. Wasted 4 or 5 days is all. Stretch that area folks. The End.
As I get older I find I have to stretch almost everything to prevent unexpected pain later. Now starting to think that a nearby hot springs might need to be added to the list for future property. I overdid them years ago when I lived in Idaho where they were abundant, but have been humbled by back pain for the last three weeks and a hot spring ot hot tub might be just the ticket right now. Alternating ice and heat might be useful as well for your injury as well. Did the doctor mention anything about that?
She did but mentioned whatever made it feel better, duh. Lol. Then “See me in a week.” Oldest trick in the book. Lol.
I’m back to about 90 percent I’d say. I’m stretching the strings as part of my morning ritual. I’d suggest others do the same occasionally, not a fun injury that groin pull.
