Middle age health thread for fatties

[revbob]

I think he's old enough now that you can pay back that nutshot! "Hey junior! You probably don't remember this, but...."

Yeah... cone to think of it...

A buddy of mine's father actually did something like this. At the will reading, an uncontentious even split between my buddy and his siblings, each child received deductions for their crimes, "Danny, minus $1200 for 1989 fender bender in my Mercury Cougar. "Paul, minus $3000 for damage to the roof and skylight above the family room when you were sneaking back into the house in 1992.", and so on. If I remember correctly there were deductions totaling $15000 which had to be donated to Audubon Society of Massachusetts.

Yeah I like this.

Haven't felt right the last week, abdominal pains. Again. After terrifying myself about what Dr Google told me I finally got the guts (pun intended) to phone the real doctors, sent me to A&E. Thankfully bloods came back fine, though the diagnosis was either gall or kidney stones. It ain't pleasant, feels like a hefty punch that completely knocks the wind out.

Never had kidney stones but gall stones are hellish. The attacks can come and go. I finally had to go to the hospital and have the damn gallbladder removed. The attacks were like being stabbed in the guts. I got up in the middle of the night in pain, went downstairs and then dropped to the floor in a ball. I eventually crawled upstairs so my wife could take me to the hospital.

Had an ultrasound the other day, though I don't have gall/kidney stones, I have a 4mm polyp on my gallbladder. It may be small but any pressure in that area and it bloody lets me know. Can't get the gallbladder removed till the polyp grows to 1cm. Next appointment is in a year's time...

Just caught up on this thread. Good luck to everyone with their health woes.

Ay-yi-yi. So you have to endure this for a year? Is there nothing they can prescribe to alleviate the pain?

May I introduce you to the opioid problem here in the states?

It's my understanding you have to pee out jagged stone pieces out of your dick, so congrats on not having that, and there's very few people on earth I would wish that upon.

Oh yuck. Are they concerned about it? Testing it? I don't know how gallbladders work.

My mother had six kids and said the kidney stone was more painful than childbirth.

Just paracetamol and watching what I eat/drink. To be fair, the pain has eased a little though don't really want to spend a year panicking over knocking my side ever so slightly.

Though it's a growth, they're not too concerned unless the pain gets worse indicating it's getting larger. As for testing, just another ultrasound in a year's time.
