its weird to think about how gross it is. when my sister broke her ankle the doctor accidentally cut her a little when trying to take the first cast off. they cleaned it up and put the second on, when they took the second off the cut was infected. and there were only a few weeks to a month between casts. to think that the lady's was on for years is just.... wow.
Did you know that doctors sometimes use maggots to eat out badly wounded or infected areas of skin and tissue before putting implants or grafts its gross but true
I hear colors and thought every one else did too until I was 17 when I told a kid with a very annoying voice to stop talking to me because his color is killing me. Everyone looked at me like a racist (he was Hispanic) til I said "can't you hear it?" Now they were just staring in confusion. I'm a reasonable intelligent person and even being a teenager I still had some brain in my cranium. It dawned on me that literally no one before in my life had described sound as color. So I asked "don't you all hear in color?" Luckily my teacher went to Google and found it was a real thing though it is pretty rare. For the rest of my highschool years everyone came and asked me what color their voice was at least once.
god i wish i had a like. useful form of synthaesia, as an artist. i just have ordinal linguistic personification. like man. thanks body. ur gonna give my synthaesia but the most lame type
I wish my synesthesia was cool like that. Instead, mine just causes me pain. Certain smells or sounds cause me pain. Like, the smell of many dog treats makes my teeth hurt. Some sounds hurt my legs. I’m told that it’s probably related to my chronic migraines even though it doesn’t only happen when I’m having a migraine and it doesn’t only cause pain in my head. Every once in a while I’ll tell my kid or nieces “ahg! Stop making that sound, it’s hurting my neck!” and every one in the room looks at me like I’ve lost my damn mind. And when I’m having a migraine, loud or high-pitched sounds can make me see bright bursts of color. But not consistently enough that I can associate certain sounds with specific colors. It’s mostly just annoying because it blocks my vision.
When I was roughly 13-14 I would randomly lose my eye sight and I never knew why. When it happened I would take my glasses off and after roughly 30 seconds it would come back. Rinse and repeat for a couple of months. (I don't like bringing up problems unless I'm unable to fix the problem and I was dealing with it at this point) Everything was under control until my birthday and I lost my vision so, I took the glasses off and waited... no vision... Okay this sometimes happened. Waited longer.. still no. Counted to 4 minutes... nothing.. sh*t, I think I should tell my mother. I carefully made my way down the stairs and told my mother plain and simple, Me- Mum I can't see, Mum- what? Me- I can't see. I can see a little but it's mostly dark, Mum- oh okay. Do you still want to go bowling? Me- yeah of course! Mum- okay. *gets up and gets her things and tells me to go to the car* My mother takes me to the hospital. (I know, betrayal!!) When we get to the hospital the doctors do multiple eye sight tests and I get a CAT (I think) scan (brain tumours/ cancer run in the family and tumours can take away your vision). And turns out my glasses prescription was DOUBLE what it was meant to be, the doctor told me she was surprised I wasn't hit by a bus. (I know looking back now I should have said but I had that doubled prescription since I was 3 so I grew up basically blind so I thought it was normal). Everything is fixed now. I can see, so if I get hit by a car it's my stupidity. Thank you reading this far, hope you have a nice day :-)
Welp that's another thing that I have to bring up to my mom so she can ask the doctor next time. But... I don't know how I suppose to tell her that when I have other problems with my body since she ain't good with stress. And my family does have cancer and other things run through my family but the last time I went to my doctor with my mom they said I had a problem with my knee after just months or years ago saying I was just lazy.
@@Urolling please talk to your mom about this kind of stuff. Maybe she’ll be a little stressed out now, but imagine how stressed out she would be if you died or turned out to have a lifelong problem that could’ve been fixed if you went earlier. Please look out for yourself.
DOUBLE?! I can't even bear to have my gf's glasses for a minute without feeling super dizzy, and she haves roughly double than I have (we both have myopia and astigmatism, tho now I have A LOT more of astigmatism in my right eye than her because I recently had an injury and an infection that literally deformed my cornea, now I have a little round dent of about a radius of 2 milimiters so it deforms the light that enters my eye even more, but well, that's another story). How the hell did you endure 10-11 YEARS?!?!?
When I was younger, I was in late stages of kawasaki disease. We went to several doctors and they said I was either faking or just the cold/flu. The only way we found out was my mother refused to leave the doctors until they figured out what was wrong. When they found out it was kawasaki, they were horrified because I should have died weeks ago. They took me to the hospital and I was there for months. My heart is half the size it should be because doctors don't take females seriously and if it wasn't for my mother pulling a Karen, I would have died. I also have a condition where my spine is slowly disintegrating. Mine is worse than it should be because doctors didn't believe I was in that much pain and therefore didn't take the precautions to prevent it from escalating. Not all doctors are bad, but if your doctor isn't taking you seriously, then find a new doctor. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
I feel like that’s a growing problem. Medical people who don’t care or think you’re lying. School nurses are the WORST about that! One time my friend wasn’t eating at all, was very hot to the touch, and shaking even though it was 90 degrees (Fahrenheit) out so I brought her the the nurse and you know what she did? She toke her temp, said it was “normal” and kicked her out of her office. OH. MY. HECKIN GOSH I WAS MAD. AND I AM NEVER MAD. I had to fight with myself with every single muscle to keep myself from punching this women in the face so hard she would fly to Alabama. DUDE. IF A FREAKING THIRD GRADER IS CERTIN SOMEONE THEY KNOW VERY WELL IS SICK, WHY CANT A HECKIN MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL TELL?! I hate her so much... You know usually I never get mad at anyone. But her? She just makes my blood BOIL. Thank you for listening to my rant 😤
@@abbyg1466 the sad thing is, some doctors are like this to grown patients. It does happen a lot with children, because sometimes kids lie, but this happens to adults at an alarming rate. My mother has the same spinal condition I have and she got it when she was an adult. They didn't believe her until it was too late. It has normally happened to minorities (poc, women, people in the LGBTQ+ community) but it can happen to white straight men too. Sometimes it's the system, and sometimes it's the doctor. Make sure you know what's good for you. By no means act like an antivaxx mom, but know what may be going on with you. Get more than one doctor's advice before going along with something, especially if it's big, could be life threatening, not working etc.
I can dislocate my jaw if I open it far enough. It doesn't hurt, and it just sorta clicks back into place when I close my mouth, but totally thought this was normal until I was about 17. I guess I'm part snake or something
hey now you can eat eggs and turkey whole(BONELESS! I mean unless you have the regurgitate factor too..) This also made me think of FNAF.....This means you can eat kids XD
uh... i think i have that too. at least, when i open my mouth pretty far enough, i have a clicking sound and feeling coming from it, and it "flipps" back when i close it... how can i make sure, that it is dislocating? i also don't feel any pain from it.
mahe4 that’s called tmj, if it’s not bothering you it’s not worth worrying too much. You would talk to an orthodontist if you’re concerned. (I would describe my jaw as having the same condition, I was told it’s usually caused by braces, rough wisdom tooth extraction or trauma)
I grew up with parents who were the typical “walk it off” type. I got in trouble a lot for saying “I can’t”, “my back hurts too bad”, and countless other things. It turns out I have multiple injuries as well as an autoimmune disease that causes chronic pain. My lowest spinal disc is fused crooked to my sacrum at an angle, causing my spine to be misaligned from approximately the age of 11. I have no heat tolerance due to a thyroid disease, and thus I have had quite a few heat strokes. No one believed me that it was too hot, because I was fat. So, being denied medical issues has also caused me a lot of mental health problems. Listen to your children, if they’re hot or cold at normal temperatures take them to the Dr. if they complain of pain constantly, take them to the Dr. Please do not dismiss them with “you’re fine” we’re not. I see a chiropractor every two weeks or more frequently, and take daily medications now. I still have many complications. I am not fine. I have never been fine.
What kind of thyroid issue do you have? Last year I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. I’ve been suffering with it for years unknowingly. I’ve always had issues with temperature. I get really sick in the heat and I get cold really easily. And circulation in my body is awful. My fingers and toes are currently freezing right now. Also, I’m still unmedicated despite needing some.
My dad ate a bowl of cereal and milk. A few hours later, he had abdominal pain so bad he fainted (he's lactose intolerant) and broke his nose. We had an ambulance come and they did a CT scan to make sure nothing was wrong. I was in 4th grade and I will never forget how I was lying on the floor when the doctor came in and said that they found a mass on his kidney. When I saw the scan, it was half the size of his kidney and he had his entire kidney removed. A year later, we discovered that it metastasized into his lung. Luckily he survived and is now 7 years cancer free
Due to my chronic pain and me being a minor, I can only take so much of certain medications. I've been consistently taking (max dosages) of Ibuprofen, Tylenol and off and on again Aleve. It was several times a day I was taking at least two pain medications. I've been wondering why my stomach has been bothering me so much.. now I do think I have ulcers. Time to call the doc 😅
its the sad reality of living in america, many people would rather live with stuff like that than have to fork out their entire life savings to get it fixed.
_gets curious and also looks up fungating breast cancer_ .... *I'm gonna make sure if something seems off, I'll just go to the doctor...... **_just incase_*
When I was 3 my mom took me to the doctor because I was having what we believed to be just some small sickness, little did we know that I actually had stage 4 kidney cancer. Also if your wondering I am doing better now and am now 16 years cancer free.
when i was 11 randomly one day meh stomach hurt. i thought it was appendicitis. turns out it was constipation bc of meh shitty diet (i didnt even eat until i was 3 yesh im dat picky)
"My kid hates/doesn't wanna do [required thing], I'm not gonna make them!" You are their parent, yes you choose your battles, but when a doctor says "hey make your kid wear shoes or he'll have constant stress fractures" that is the battle you choose! Your kid also would like (and for a while tolerate) ice cream for every meal but you don't give into that 🙄
Oh also tell your doctor if your antibiotics are making you sick, they'll try and prescribe different ones! (It majorly slows your recovery time, at least make them aware so they don't give you MORE thinking you're still sick from an infection)
Agreed my 3 year old didn't want to eat vegetables because I can't from allergies. I still chewed on them in front of her, then vomitted for like 30 mins and felt drained for 12 hours in order for her to eat them. Love personal sacrifice for another's wellbeing.
@@Kizuna31 My brother had strep throat for like a month. Gave him antibiotics, didn't clear up so they doubled the dosage. He was throwing up one night so my dad had to take me and my brother into urgent care. His tonsils were so swollen they were triggering his gag reflex. That doctor prescribed a different drug and cleared it right up.

this obviously isn’t a comparable situation, but this reminded me of my food allergies lmao. “hmm. broccoli? yes, okay. meat? uh huh, seems about right. pean.. wait a minute. PEANUT? THIS IS AN INVASION GUYS!! ABORT MISSION!! EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN CLOSE THE THROAT GO GO GO”
I thought I was experiencing intense menstral cramps. It was actually a burst appendix. For three years, two days before my period, I would be slammed with intense stomach cramps. I told the surgeon this. He was shocked. Those cramps were appendicitis attacks, not period cramps.
Sadly that's not even uncommon. People have missed everything from gallstones to THE START OF FULL-BLOWN LABOR because the pain was less than what they were accustomed to from cramps. I think we tend to really underestimate how bad those can be.
When I was about 17 I felt a lump in my breast (breast cancer runs in my family) and had gone in to get it checked out and everything was fine, I didn’t have a tumor, but I was shamed by the doctor for coming in. She literally sat me down and told me I shouldn’t be making appointments for no reason. And I didn’t say anything about it because I was young and felt like obviously people who go to school for so long would be right over some high school girl. 🙃
I had something similar as a student. 19yo, away from home, felt a lump, went to uni health service and was completely dismissed no check up or anything. Was just told "I'm not giving you a note, you need to go to lectures" no matter how much I protested I loved my course and had 100% attendance. Took 3 more appointments over a couple of months before a doctor actually thought to check my breast - yep, emergency lump removal and cancer checks.
Had something similar happen to me when I asked to get screened for cervical cancer. I was 19 and my mom got it when she was 22. The reason they were able to treat it and she kept her fertility (thus allowing me to happen) was because they caught it so early. They looked at me like I was just an attention whore. It came back clear, but I'm glad I did it anyways because the peace of mind really mattered to me.
I went to an all-girls school, and PE teachers always gave me a hard time about not trying harder. I would get so embarrassed about how hard I found PE, and did anything to get out of it. But most girls hate exercise, right? My epilepsy doctor couldn't understand why my seizures were often triggered by exercise, but didn't look into it. As I got older, I started getting intense chest pain episodes and this was diagnosed as panic attacks. Try telling doctors you've been having a panic attack for three days and you're not panicking about anything - they didn't believe me. I eventually got given beta blockers but these made me exhausted and didn't help. In pregnancy I was so exhausted and had such bad episodes I thought I was dying. I was misdiagnosed with a heart condition, and the cardiologist was so annoyed with me for wasting his time over panic attacks that I learnt to live with the daily pain. This year, five years after the pains started, aged 33, I was talking to my now two-year-old son's doctor about his asthma over the phone when he said "you sound breathless yourself, are you sure you don't have it?" I'm on the highest dose of asthma medication now, and it turns out my asthma has caused a lot of my epileptic seizures in the past. I had awful asthma attacks in pregnancy and really could have died: thousands of people die of asthma every year. I think I was overlooked and dismissed at least in part because I'm a woman, and partly because I'm a woman I let that happen.
Sam Dunaway no apparently it’s not, about 1 in 100 people have something called migraine syndrome or something I forgot, but it’s where you get more than 15 headaches every month. I always assumed that everyone got headaches at least once a day
It’s absolute hell and not normal. It’s debilitating and you should see a neurologist stat about it bc there’s tons can be done to get you help and a better life. I’ve been suffering 20 or more per month for 18 years. I go nowhere lost my job and am homebound.
I had a breast exam done and realized my doctor was having to much fun so I asked him to please put gloves on .... told him his hand were uncomfortably cold 😖🤒
Wait until you turn 60 and break your arm in September and get told that you have to wait until it heals and then have it broken with hammers because having it set “wasn’t in the budget.”

not a doctor, but a few years ago, my knees used to move and dislocate themselves when I put too much pressure on them, instead of going to the doctor or something, I just relocated my kneecaps with my bare hands, you could practically hear a 'crack' when put into place, and then I would spend almost a month without being able to bend the knee due to the pain, when I talked to a doctor about it, his face alone told me that it's not very common for a person to just go a relocate dislocated bones themselves and continue with live as if nothing happened. Oops.
I didn't have it quite as bad, but about once a year/every other year as a teen I'd dislocate a kneecap and just be stuck with my leg awkward bent til it wriggled its way back into place, since the notion of touching it/sliding it back with my hand would probably make me faint. We asked a doctor friend for advice and he just said to do hip exercises which would protect my knees better and I haven't had a problem with it in like five years. Can't sit on my feet with my knees fully bent anymore though, since that's always what made them slide out of place
I have similar! I have what’s called trochlear dysplasia. My knee caps dislocate insanely easily and I’d always relocate them on my own via just straightening my leg& id immediately put pressure on it. This led to me fracturing my kneecap and not even know (supposedly really painful)
As someone studying radiology and diagnostic screening every comment concerning people’s weird joints and bone quirks makes my brain happy and I wanna see all of your x-ray and ct scans but I can’t
Waitwaitwait. Your telling me thats not normal? Sometimes my elbows and knees just seem to pop out of place so i put them back in with minimal pain and keep going
For about three to four weeks straight, I had on and off dull abdominal pain in my lower right side. Wasn't too bad, my mom thought it was just because I was ovulating and my ovaries hurt or something. It wasn't in constant pain, wasn't even sharp, probably about a two on the pain scale. At week two of the pain, I started to have no appetite and a bit of nausea. Finally went to the doctor, doctor told me to go to the hospital. She's worried about appendicitis. I get to the ER and they take blood and give me an ultrasound. They see a little something with my appendix, and think that might be causing the slight pain. They give me a CT scan to see everything better. Results come back and they tell me it's acute appendicitis. Surgeon comes in though and says he doesn't think it's appendicitis, because people that have appendicitis don't have a dull pain for weeks, they have an extreme pain that happens suddenly. He thinks it's something else and doenst want to preform surgery. Gives me an antibiotic and keeps me for the night, says if the pain goes away because of the antibiotics then it's appendicitis and they'll remove it. Next day, pain is gone, and surgery is scheduled. Turns out I had an appendix stone half the size of the actual appendix itself and did indeed have acute appendicitis. Not only that, but my appendix was tucked underneath my colon. They couldn't get it out in one piece and had to rupture my appendix in order to remove it in pieces. The surgeon does not understand how I wasn't in extreme pain, and how I managed to go almost a month with appendicitis and a stone that big inside me without anything rupturing. I'm currently at home and recovering from said surgery. So far everything is going nicely with just a bit of pain and tenderness in my abdomen from the surgery Update: turns out I have Crohn's disease and that caused the "poop ball" in my appendix
I, too, have Crohn's. Mine started off as "possibly ulcers", then, "possibly diverticulitis"... the usual cycle. Didn't get a full, true diagnosis until I told them it felt like I literally had a tube of golf balls shoved up my butt and they went in with a camera to find my colon swollen almost shut. After several different meds I've landed on Humira and it's working the best, so far. I haven't needed prednisone in over 5 years. (I usually needed prednisone every 6 months for 6 years before that from flare ups)

Idk appreciation isn’t as helpful as advocating for and believing women when they have problems. So many professionals write women off, it’s infuriating.
My mom once was literally bleeding out from ovarian cancer and still tried to schedule to go into work that night. I said fuck that, called her best friend (my dad was at the store so he wasn’t home), and had her take my mom to the ER. Then called dad so he could go to the ER. Didn’t even know she had cancer till they did tests. She was bleeding so much that they could barely even run tests. She was ghost white and her body had gone into shock from it. And yet she still was gonna try and buck through it. She’s done shit like this multiple times before. Like once she permanently fucked up her foot when she slipped on the stairs, and still went to work that night. Women are just, something else man. They’re incredible.
This video made me look up what a "husband stich was". I've just gained another thing to add to my long list of reasons I'm never having kids. Also, this video legit just makes me think that schools should teach you *way* more about health. Like, general health. I already knew sex ed was bad, but there should probably be more like... Designated health classes. And not for a temporary event-type thing, *permantently.* A legit part of the curriculum. People need to know more about mental, physical and sexual health. I've learnt way more literal *basic* health info from random TH-cam videos than I ever have in school.
Apparently some doctors (like my first one did) will refuse to tie your tube's, unless your married, have a certain amount of kids, or if your husband says its ok. I have to wonderful kids but I chewed that doctors ass out
Health and anatomy classes should specifically have women’s anatomy taught too. We don’t have the same bodies as men and more people need to understand the complexities, then maybe people will stop ignoring pain.
The "husband stitch"... lights a fire of hatred in me that knows no bounds. If I ever see the doctor who did that to me... I plan to make him feel the pain he made me feel.
@@MainelyLove I was fortunate. I didn't realize I had a husband stitch until it popped when we tried to be intimate. So it didn't take, but the pain of the stich popping was more painful than childbirth for me. But the real problem is my bodily autonomy was violated and I have had medical trauma responses since then, along with the other things he said and did. I recently have decided I will not be treated by male doctors outside of emergency situations. On top of that, I gave birth at a hospital that cannot be sued for malpractice and there is no recourse for patients.
@@bellajaid Yes it is indeed a violation, and outrageous that a medical person would "do this" for the husband by tampering with the wife's body without her consent. Glad the procedure "failed" and sorry you had to endure pain from it. On another comment section from a medical topic Reddit video here on Utube, a woman described overhearing her husband ask whoever was in charge if that procedure could be done; she immediately made plans to divorce him, and followed through.
TL/dr: Started getting unexplained bad stomachaches on occasion in mid-20s. Parents passed it off as "getting older." Turned out to be a gall stone in my gall bladder, and three more in my bile duct, which was probably what caused the others. Had two surgeries and walked around with a tube in my stomach for a week. I had a stomachache that was indicative of weird cramps I started getting occasionally in my mid-20s. My parents laughed and said it was just due to "getting older". This one really hurt a lot and kept me up for hours until I called my sister, who is a nurse, and she came over at 3 AM and made me a hot water bottle. That only worked for a half hour before I woke up in pain again. So she took me to the hospital. They did an ultrasound and discovered a gall stone. During the ensuing laparoscopic surgery to remove my gall bladder, the doctors found three additional stones in my bile duct. They couldn't remove them without doing the incision surgery, which I was unable to consent to either way at that particular moment. When I was awake again they informed me they'd need to do an additional separate surgery to remove those. I asked why they didn't check for that to begin with. My doctor said, "Usually when people have even one of those in their bile duct they show up here curled up on the floor in agonizing pain. Also, it's usually broken into little pieces. You had three perfectly round stones, like marbles going down a factory chute." Turns out it was hereditary. He told me I was the second youngest person he'd done this surgery on. They also had to have a specialist do the second surgery, which I had to wait three days to get. Meanwhile I was stuck at the hospital with a morphine drip that did literally nothing until the head nurse had to call my doctor on his day off to approve a non-opiod based painkiller. Turned out that was hereditary too. After the second surgery I had to return to work with a tube in my stomach for a week.
@@allisond.46 Something about extra fluid filtering out of the bile duct that was bad to allow to flow into the body, especially given I no longer had a gall bladder to filter the bile into. It wasn't much, not even enough to require any container to "catch" the fluid, it just trickled into the tube, which protruded a few inches from my stomach like an outie belly button, except it was off to the side, between some stitches. I returned to my doctor a week later, and he removed the tube and stitches, bandaged the hole and removed that a week later. It was sad because it was the last time I saw that doctor, and he was gorgeous.
@@gracegruen7847 Thanks, I'm much better now as it was a few years ago. My doctor and the other two surgeons were shocked too. From what I gathered, they had done this surgery hundreds of times, but they were so surprised at what they were having an "omigosh, what should we do?" conversation and it was kind of embarrassing because there were (preapproved) students observing the "routine" surgery. There was some hindsight regret that they hadn't checked for it since they could have removed them then with prior knowledge or provision for an approval to do incision surgery, but since they hadn't, they decided to just finish and tell me about the additional stones, which would definitely still need to be removed, when I woke up. I still couldn't comprehend how unusual it was and was like, "I don't understand why you don't test for that when you look for gall stones. I mean, they *do* happen, right?" He goes, "Di Di, you gotta understand...there's no precedent for 'casually' checking for that," shaking his head like he still was in disbelief. "People are usually in pretty severe pain when they get a gall stone. That's why we remove the whole gall bladder - so more stones don't form. Not a lot of people could take that kind of pain long enough for the stone to make it all the way to the bile duct. But occasionally you'll come across one of those rough, tough guys who don't 'complain' about pain, who finally comes in when it's gotten in the bile duct. And Di Di, let me tell you...I've seen big grown men, rolling on the floor, curled up, groaning and reduced to tears. So no one expected a petite young lady coming in for a 'bad stomachache' to have three extra stones in their bile duct. I mean, people don't walk in on their own with those."
It's really sad how most parents teach you that it's "probably nothing" if you're in pain. I found out a while ago that my mom is afraid of doctors. And I just recently went to the doctor because of a swollen foot (because it was swollen and hurt while walking for about a month), but the last time I went there before that was about 5 years ago I think, if not longer. And I'm not even gonna mention the dentist. I also never got my blood taken until that time about a week ago when they needed to take it anyway to check on my foot. They were shocked when I told them that I never had my blood taken. And I admit, I go to my mom a lot just to ask if something could be wrong, Like, I had an a little bit swollen wound from where my cat scratched me, and I went and asked her because I thought that it might be an infection. In the end, that wasn't serious, like most injuries I ask her about. (It just didn't get enough air and got wet) But I don't think that's something that she should look down on. I just want to make sure that I'm fine, and I don't think the internet is the best place to ask for stuff like that, because according to Google, every wound you have could probably be cancer or something. I don't know, but I think that also just shows that I never learned what a "serious wound" looks like And what you should just wait out. Most people probably didn't.
Idk. Maybe but I get the sense that it's more like it's such a weird thing that you can't even fathom and becuase the child always was on their feet and even ignored their own pain, she couldn't help but ignore it. Surely if she even had an inkling of what was happening, she would've went to the doctor sooner for her child seeing as tho she went to the doctor when she was aware of something going on with her son
That's the weird thing about both sports and athletes. It's a damn dubious thing to figure out the differences between "being hurt" and "actually being injured"... Everyone in sports (no matter the sport) gets dinged up once in a while. You walk it off. You rub dirt in it and get back in the game. You take a drink of water and a few breaths of air, and then decide (usually not) to mention it to the coach. Kids learn easily and early to "play through the pain", because 90% of the time, it's JUST sore feet. It's ONLY a cramp. It's a bit of a bruise, so what? If you complain enough to seek medical attention, you DO NOT GET TO PLAY anymore... at least for a while. Kids LOVE to play. I didn't shirk the intramural swimming competition in my high school, even though I knew I had a couple broken ribs. (Car accident)... I was DAMNED if I was sitting it out. Besides, swimming was one of the very few things I truly excelled at doing. We still won our pizza party. AND hell... Anyways, there wasn't a lot they could do about broken ribs... give you pain killers and tell you to take it easy. Pah! I'll take it easy when it kills me... AND you can bury me in it. Kids are like that... Maybe not ALL kids, but enough of them. It's understandable she wasn't aware that her son's flat feet required special insoles and shoes ALL the time. The truth is, he probably hated shoes because they were the wrong kind and didn't offer support properly for his feet, making them uncomfortable. BUT how many of us have known someone who just plain and simply hated shoes... Nothing wrong with them. They just hated shoes. I even knew a girl who went barefoot EVERYWHERE even in the friggin ice and snow of WINTER... IN KENTUCKY... I've seen her walk barefoot through the stuff up to her friggin' KNEES! The point is, your knee-jerk reaction shouldn't just be, "Oh, the mom is neglecting her kid." Flat feet isn't exactly rare, but it's not commonly such an issue as to cripple the sufferer. I should know, with "fallen arches". I get better comfort with the insoles, but nothing to brag or go after the $50 ones from Dr. Scholls... not without an outstanding reason. ;o)
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 So true about athletes and just working through the pain! I grew up doing some pretty serious ballet, which is about as hard on the body as any sport, and we knew that we were going to get hurt, and we just had to dance through all the minor stuff. It wasn't uncommon for someone to land a jump wrong in class, twist an ankle, sit out and ice it for 15 mins, have our instructor give it a good looking over and whatever necessary first aid, then get up, put the pointe shoes back on, and get back on her toes. So I thought that pain in my hip was just something I'd pulled on a bad landing, nothing serious, and I had a big exam the next day. And I just took a couple of Tylenol, danced that exam, passed it, and... couldn't walk afterward. Yeah, that hip was fractured. But I was 16, determined, and full of stupid adrenaline and endorphins. Oh, and my mum is that person who never wears shoes. She put on socks a couple of times this winter, during a week-long Ontario blizzard, when the temperatures hit -35 C, without windchill. She's a tough little lady.
@@neuralmute Yup... Knew a nearby Coach who put his football players through ballet. A lot of folks took exception about it... (lolz) BUT "Welcome to the Southern Fried Manhood state"... I guess. At least until they started "whining" according to the ballet instructors... I was (for better or worse) never coordinated enough to be attracted to dancing... and it was murder on my knees (legit' no cartilage...)... so nothing against the sport, just not me. BUT I'm imminently familiar with athletes and their various philosophies. I've been an herbalist for a long time, and a LOT of my regular business is in doling out Comfrey (aka "knitbone") to help speed up healing... and often to athletes who'd prefer any shortcut to get "back in the game"... Thanks for the read and consideration. ;o)
For me it was feeling like my lungs were collapsing every time I worked out, I thought this was the reason people hated working out but turns out I had a heart disease and needed surgery lol.
@@masterjunko Oh wow people have been using lol as a punctuation for so long now my mind just completely filtered it out. It actually took me several seconds to realise what you were referring to.
My "Oh I thought this was normal" story (I can post it on the reddit if anyone has the link) : When I first got my period, they had said it would start off irregular, so I thought it was normal to go months or even a year without it for a while. At some point I realized it wasn't normal i guess, but I was in middle/high school by then so I didn't know what to do about it. During sophomore year spring finals, waiting finally took its toll. I ended up having a period where I would have to change my pad every hour if not more. But I still thought "Oh, it'll stop, this is probably normal." then once finals were over, I was lying in my computer chair, barely able to move (same one I'm in right now xP), I sluggishly pull myself up to go to the bathroom and after, I wash my hands, and as I was about to go dry them off, I suddenly collapsed, which my mom heard from the other room. I had the door locked and I was like half conscious, but I managed to reach the handle and she dragged me to the couch and I think my dad was also home too? Anyway, I was driven to the ER and it turned out I was extremely anemic. (I'm also a very small person, 5'1 right now so I was 5'0 or 5'1 by then probably?) and they ended up giving me 2 blood transfusions (so, 2 pints) as I stayed overnight and they almost gave a third, but they decided to just have me take iron pills to build up blood again. They never did find out why that happened... all my blood tests came out negative when all was said and done and the ultrasound I got in the ER found nothing. and my periods were regular-ish for a while because I was on birth control, but I went off it because it gave me depression during junior year. I should really go back to my OBGYN and maybe end up trying them again now that I'm an adult (turning 22 this year), because I still either am on and off with just a tiny bit of blood for weeks or I don't have it for a month.
I have a story of similar nature about periods except it’s the opposite of yours. I remember thinking my friend who barely got her period was lucky or my other friend who got her period every month but didn’t bleed very much was also lucky. At the time I didn’t realize how much or how little they got their periods or how much they bleed. I had my first period at 11. That same month I had another period. From then on I had more periods, 2 or 3 times or 3 to 4 times a month and I would bleed a lot. It was very common almost always would I go through these huge maxi pads I had (they were thick) in less than an hour. I would constantly bleed through underwear and clothes sometimes. It got everywhere sometimes. I’d be in horrible pain where it really hurt to move or go to school but I’d have to because my mom wouldn’t let me stay home. I use to collapse or blackout because of the crazy period symptoms and the blood loss. Last summer in June thankfully the implant of birth control finally worked! The birth control pills I had tried previously were making it worse because unbeknownst to me they had milk in them and my body doesn’t handle dairy. Thankfully now I don’t get my period on my birth control!
The beginning of this may seem a little bit misleading, while in your case it was because of a condition you had, in others it is normal. When you first get your period, it is actually normal for it to be irregular for about 1 or 2 years after, then it will usually work itself out and become regular. If it doesn't, it may be that something is wrong, especially if you bleed through a pad in an hour or less.
Woah thats scary. I started my periods very nice and normal. Slightly heavy, mostly every month and no cramps at all, but i was still anemic for some reason lol. Even passed out once for idk how long because nobody noticed, and i never told anyone. periods can be really weird lmao
Everyone else here talking about their periods they got at a normal ago and/or the problems they've had with periods. Meanwhile, here I am last year thinking it's perfectly normal not to have a period yet.... I still haven't had one. I'm going to be a senior in highschool. I was supposed to be going back to check on that in April or May, but COVID happened.
Chuchupikachu TheGamer yikes, it sounds like you have primary amenorrhea. You’re supposed to start having periods around 9-12 years old. Certain birth control pills should help induce your period. hopefully you get that checked out soon!
I was the one who said: “oh I thought that wad normal” I went to a psychiatrist when I was 14 and was baffled by how concerned she looked, my mother had been assuring me for 3 years that the way I behaved was totally normal, all teen girls are like that. Psychiatrist said it was absolutely not normal.
Looks like they accidentally messed up when editing and added that reply into the wrong reply chain. I read this thread a couple days ago, basically the story was that this dude who worked as a barber came into the ER because he had hair coming through the skin on the back of his hand. When the doctors asked why the hell he had hairs pushing out of the back of his hand he was like "Oh, it's probably because of this" and flipped his hand over to reveal a gaping wound in his palm. Turns out the guy had diabetes (I think?) and it just never healed/closed up and for two years he just continued to cut hair and it kept getting in there to the point that his body was trying to push it out of the opposite side of his hand. The doctors had to keep pulling hairs out and couldn't get them all, said he would have to come in a few more times to clean it all out.
@@Shrimp_Insurance I am not a doctor, and know next to nothing about diabetes, so I honestly have no idea what the connections are between diabetes, palm wound, and hairs on the back of the hand, and why pulling those hairs out would help in any way, or how this man could just deal with an unhealing wound on his palm, while working in a business that requires the finesse of his hands. I am more confused now, than when I first heard the robot talking about it, when it had nothing to do with what was being talked about before it.
@@leirawhitehart1236 Basically his disease (which I'm pretty sure was diabetes) prevented his wound that he got from healing, so when he went about his job cutting hair the hair of his clients inadvertently went into the open wound. When his body realized that there was a foreign body in his flesh it tried to push it out the opposite side. It's the same thing that your body does if you get shot, eventually it pushes the bullet out. Or a more common example would be a splinter, if left in your body will isolate it and eventually push it out. Same thing was happening with the foreign hairs that got into this guys wound when he was cutting other peoples hair, so they had to be removed, the doctors weren't plucking his own hairs they were loose hairs that got into his open wound
@@leirawhitehart1236 If it was diabetes, it's possible he also had neuropathy, which means he wouldn't have felt any pain at all from the sore. And even if he had some sort of bandaid over it, haris would probably go under it. What surprises me is that he somehow didn't get infected. People with diabetes are more likely to get an infection, and infections are less likely to heal, which leads to amputation. I feel like he was pretty lucky with the outcome! My husband has diabetes, and on our honeymoon in 2013 he scratched his legs on the beach. He still has sores on his legs, in 2020. Sometimes they get smaller and go away, but then they reappear for no clear reason. This could have been the same kind of thing, he may have scratched or cut his hand and as a result have a sore for years.
I have a fun one to add as a patient! I had severe chronic pain and fatigue since I was 6 (I'm now 19), to the point of being in tears and missing a ton of school. I was told by doctors, family, teacher, and anyone that would listen, that it was growing pains. By 18 I got a new doctor that actually listened and as it turns out I have autoimmune thyroid disease, lupus, ibd, fibro/arthralgia, degeneration in a few of my vertebral discs as well as anterolisthesis (slipping of the disc caused by misalignment of the vertebrae), degeneration of the vertebral bones (spine), postural orthostatic tachycardia, Idiopathic dystonia, an alarmingly high resting heart rate (around 130-140, I'm getting that checked out currently), and am in the process of getting genetic testing for Ehlers Danlos syndrome! I've had to use a cane, a walker, and eventually a wheelchair before finding medication that helped, though I still use my cane and my walker when it's really bad. So much for it being "just growing pains" 😂
Growing pains! That’s what they told me too. 🙄 But since it seemed fairly mild I believed them, and no one thought much of it. That is, until my dad came to pick me up from school one day and found me sitting inside, alone, crying, because moving my neck hurt so much I didn’t dare move. My parents really started looking for answers after that. Rheumatoid Arthritis. I think I was about 11. 18 years later and I don’t even _know_ what normal is supposed to feel like anymore. XP That almost seems like nothing compared to yours, though! I hope you keep doing alright!
I have never a day in my life Looked at my own breast and said “thanks for being normal and healthy” I have never appreciated something more a day in my life
Re: The periods thing. I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and before I got treatment for it, I had the exact same symptoms! On top of that, I was also constantly stomach achingly hungry. I'd pig out at dinner the night before and then wake up at 6am feeling like I was going to die from starvation. Turns out my biochemistry was all out of wack- I'm now on Metformin and the oral contraceptive pill to manage my symptoms and am making lifestyle changes to lost the excess fat so I don't develop diabetes. Other symptoms I had included depression, excessive body hair (no joke, I had sideburns), weight that I couldn't quite seem to lose (Although this I think was moreso I hated exercise and ate a lot) and I didn't have a feminine fat placement like my curvy peers did- my trunk was thicker compared to my limbs, and this is apparently more masculine. Wasting of the limbs and a super thick trunk and neck can be a sign of Cushings disease too, so whatever the symptoms, get them checked!
This is me because I grew up drinking milk with breakfast every day, and milk at lunch and snack time as a kid. I used to always not feel too great after them and would always feel a little bit sick. It took me until I was in high school where a friend went "yeah that's not as normal as your parents told you it was" and I have actually been lactose intolerant. The other one I got is that apparently for 22 years, I've had a couple issues in my knee where I could just be randomly walking and one of my kneecaps will dislocate and I'd fall. I've had both knees badly located to a point where I ended up in the hospital. It took me moving to a whole other city for a doctor to take me seriously and explain that I have a couple of birth defects in both my knees, only to be made worse by doctors repeatedly not taking me seriously.. and I will suffer permanent damage for the rest of my life because of it.
i thought being exhausted all the time, losing my sense of taste, and having trouble breathing were just symptoms of working hard and having a cold. turns out high blood pressure shredded my kidneys and i was in complete renal failure. my symptoms were being cause by severe anemia and my kidneys not being able to remove fluid causing my lungs to fill. also when using lidocaine cream to help with the dialysis needles i learned that local anesthetic actually works for most people and i'm just extremely resistant to it to the point that i need about 3x as much as normal. i've had a few surgeries under local that i could almost entirely feel and i thought that's just how it was.
My sister vomited blood when she was 2 months old or something like that. They eventually found out that she was sucking too hard during breastfeeding so that blood would come out instead of milk. I have a vampire sibling 🙃
Not a physical condition, but I remember my Mom, who worked in the cath lab, had to be sat down by her coworker and explained to her that it wasn't normal for husbands to beat their wives, and if her boyfriend is getting physical with her she should break up with him. That was the very first time someone explained that concept to her, and she had such a hard time comprehending it. "Come on, you can't tell me your fiance doesn't hit you?" "No!" "Seriously? He's never? Not even when he's drunk?" "NO!"
My mom once had a full body scan done for something and the doctor asked "hey why are both bottom halves of your lungs collapsed?" My mom had no idea this was the case and was thoroughly confused. A week later she was talking to her mom who told her "oh when you were a baby you got a really bad lung infection that made them collapse, you almost died." Basically my mom's whole life she had difficulty breathing that as a kid she just thought was normal and as an adult she thought it was because she smoked. Apparently she only had about one collective lung though.
I started seeing double a month ago. When it started, I figured I was just straining my eyes and waited a week before to go to the hospital. At my first hospitalization, they found nothing. A week after going back home I came back with trouble chewing, running/jumping, moving my fingers, lifting my arms. Turns out I have myasthenia, a rare autoimmune neurological disorder, and if I waited longer I could've had trouble swallowing or, in worst case, breathing, and could've been misdiagnosed with COVID and been given medication that makes myasthenia worse.
Regarding the first story, when I was little I broke my leg and one night (I was like 5 btw) I put a Barbie shoe down my cast. I can confirm that your skin will grow over things if kept there long enough. I have a scar now😂😂
A ways back, when my sister was about 16, she was having issues with her periods, as it was irregular and very painful. Our mom had the same kind of issues when she was younger, and recommended going to the doctor to see about birth control to help with the hormones. The doctor said that it was good idea and prescribed her what they said was the lowest dose. Now the thing about my sister is that she loved going to school. She had great grades, and though she wasn't necessarily popular, she had friends and enjoyed herself. It's also important to note that she had quite a few extracurriculars, but she never missed them and worked really hard. After she was prescribed the birth control by her doctor, she started experiencing depression and severe anxiety, to the point where she would just want to stay home or where she would break down crying in class. It got much worse than that, but I'm not going to expand farther than that. My mom took her to a psychiatrist and therapist to help her with what she was going through. I believe it was the psychiatrist who recommended going to an Obgyn. She went, and the Obgyn was extremely confused. It turns out that her regular doctor prescribed the *highest* dose instead of the lowest. It cause a chemical imbalances which really instigated the depression and anxiety. She's still having some difficulties with it today.
I have had two instances of “I thought that was normal” as a patient. 1. When I lay on my back completely horizontal to the ground, my tongue blocks my throat and I can’t breathe. Turns out my mouth is abnormally small while my tongue is abnormally large and when my head is horizontal with the ground gravity takes hold cause my tongue can’t suction to the top of my mouth like it’s supposed to given that the surface area of the top of my mouth is so much smaller than the surface area of my tongue. 2. When I walk, my calves rotate rotate away from my body rather than just swinging forward like they’re supposed to. Turns out I have a genetic tilted pelvis that causes my weird gait. Neither thing is dangerous, but they are definitely weird. Also because of my small mouth I have had to have four adult teeth and my wisdom teeth pulled to make room and there isn’t even a noticeable gap where the adult teeth were because my mouth is just that small.
A "husband stitch" is something done, usually after a woman has given birth and they are stitching up any tearing... It's an extra, unnecessary stitch done by old men so that the woman will have a nice tight vag... So tight that now sex hurts and even examination by a Dr will hurt really bad... And most women wont know it was done to them... So basically, if you're female, and want babies, make sure the person who stitches you up after doesn't throw in anything extra...
@@blubaylon In context, I think it's directed at these doctors who would do this. I think most men now would care more about the pain and how it would make sex less appealing and therefore less frequent. No one wants their sex life to end. Any doctor who takes it upon himself to "improve" a couple's sex life is probably ruining it. Any husband who would actually want this done is ruining his own sex life, and I feel most would be pissed to find out a doctor ruined it for them, if not pissed simply on the woman's behalf. It's just a stupid thing to do, like so many things people used to do.
Thank goodness that didn't happen to me. Well, the doc who stitched me up was a woman so very unlikely any way, but the stretching of giving birth was exactly what I needed to actually physically enjoy sex. Before that, I got horrible painful cramps when I neared climax, even if sex itself didn't hurt. Just as a note though, I did enjoy it before as well, just more on the emotional level.
I used to go days on about 2 hrs of sleep. Couldn't sleep with my husband, couldn't eat much without gagging, couldn't get over 100 pounds, constantly had the urge to just curl up on the floor and zone out. I thought I had anxiety or something. Turns out I just have chronic acid reflux. Funny because my husband gets acid reflux every once in a while and I'd just look at him like, "dang you have stomach problems a lot. You okay?"
I use those videos to learn English so I had to use a dictionnary and wasn't expecting this meaning for "cast" 😭 How is it possible to not remove it for years ?? Edit : OMG AND "MAGGOTS" !!!

22:00 same, my periods were 2-3 months apart and lasted anywhere from 24 hours to 28 days, it was super weird, and stressful. Being on BC for a few years made them regular
For a good portion of my life I've had troubles doing activities that require small persice movements of the hands, for example handwriting has always been really hard for me. I finally went in to the doctor about it when I was in high school and doing work on motherboards and struggled much more than my classmates. She said I was "just not eating enough" so my body was shaky (I was a skinny kid, but not terribly underweight). When I got a new doctor later on he found out I've got a benign tremor that most people develop in their 60s or so, but it started when I was only a child. Now I've got pills I can take to calm it down if I need to do something that requires a lot of dexterity.
My sister has a not really bad case of ‘oh, I thought that was normal’ When we were teenagers we did a sport/dance that required costuming. Principal coach and my mum got on pretty well so she had gotten a costume for my sister so she could check for spacing in decorations. Sister shoulders were tilted (left lower) so mum said ‘stand straight, your shoulders are tilted’, sis said ‘I am’. Turns out my sister has mild scoliosis, now she wears a brace sometimes and does physio. She(Sister) complains about her left shoulder hurting do mum asks if she’s been wearing her brace, if my sis says no, she’ll wear it tomorrow(the answer is always no)
I had allergy caused asthma as a kid, from black mould/leaf mould. Didn't realise until I woke up and walked to mum in the early stages if an asthma attack - we just thought I had a chronic cold so moved me out of my sister's room. Finally found the source of the mould when we moved out and found the entire wall behind the tv cabinet was black with mould.
Soooooo, I thought it was normal for allergies to make it hard to breathe. Went through so much in middle and high school bc I was always so tired. I am like the op in the video and allergic to everything outside (literally, everything). It wasn't until I was 24 that I was actually diagnosed with asthma. Turns out I'm not out of shape either, just asthmatic. I am surprised I'm still alive tbh.
I stopped going to male gyns after one told me "Oh, that doesn't hurt you" when he examined me after my hysterectomy. I was younger then, so I didn't tell him, " wow, thanks for telling me. I thought it hurt me, but I MUST BE MISTAKEN ."
For as long as I could remember, I had floaters. I went to my parents and asked them about "What are those faded shadows I see moving around?" My mom said they were just shadows of things that were moving and that light made them look faded. My dad ignored me completely. I thought nothing of it and actually used my floaters as entertainment when I was being punished (I know now I was a good kid, my parents even agreed with that statement but I was punished a lot. They deny it happening that often but I have vivid memories where I would've been scared for my life by my brother crying in the bathroom with the door abracadabra and locked with him banging on the door and then getting punished for locking myself in the bathroom simply because my brother told them a lie and believed him because he was older and because I "must've made it up to get out of work" which was never the case but they claim to motivate remember it) I was punished a lot and had no entertainment. All I could so otherwise was clean (I didn't do that because I never deserved to be there) or lay on my bed (which was a couple of rags, a pink blanket I got for Christmas when I was 7 and a pillow or two at the foot of my parent's bed. Before that they would lock me in my crib that I was forced to stay in despite it being a hand-me-down and me being 5) I had stuffed animals (the closest things I had to friends even within my own family, I still have them today and don't know what I would do without them). My parents never believed that I had floaters until just a month ago, where I described them again while baking with my mom because one had gotten in the way of me reading for a minute. My mom started freaking out saying "You shouldn't have floaters you're way too young!!!" I was just looking at her with a non caring expression and replied "I could vividly explain what they looked like when I was 4 and I actually did multiple times and yet NOW you just realize and decide to tell me something is wrong after at least a decade?!" I can tell you she did not like that reply. This wasn't as significant but it was a "I thought that was normal" story. Worst part was is that I wanted to ask a doctor about it but my parents would become furious with me for talking when the adults were talking about important matters... so I never was actually able to tell a doctor what was completely wrong singe I was dismissed so much and I was afraid. No matter your age... you know your body better than anyone else, if you're worried about something never let it get dismissed without a proper explanation and reason.
The comment about knowing family medical history is so important. It can help as a starting point for figuring out if something is wrong as some symptoms can actually be caused by many different things. Example depression can be mental illness or a symptom of thyroid imbalances or b12 or vitamin d deficiencies. Granted anything with similar symptoms should be checked out anyways because family medical history isn’t the end all be all but it is a good starting point.
I have some stories. My knees have hurt since I was 9 when I got hit really badly in hockey, I’m talking sprained and twisted bones and joints, plus a major concussion and being out for weeks after I was cleared of it. 3 years a later my knees still hurt, so my parents took me to get them checked. Turns out I fractured one knee and caused bad nerve damage to the other. Don’t worry though, I’m fine now with occasional pain every now and again. Another story for you, I had a small, not so small pool accident. Some kid was sitting on a flutter board and I was behind him when it popped up and hit me square in the jaw. Now my jaw does some weird stuff that my friends are worried about but it only hurts if I chew a certain way or in the mornings when I sleep funny. Just thought they went well with the video theme so thought I would share them.
Jesus. Some of these are intense. I went to see a therapist in November 2019 at the recommendation of friends and family to help me process exploring gender and orientation. I'm the type to deal with an issue if I notice one, but I didn't think I had any problematic symptoms of anything that needed extra care. 3 weeks and 4 sessions later we were exploring dissociative disorders because my lack of focus was apparently more indicative of severe dissociation than the ADD that I'd been on medication for since the age of 7. Not even 3 days after that and I found out rather dramatically that I definitely have a severe dissociative disorder. Still undiagnosed as of Feb 2021, but very likely OSDD-1b. That initial incident was having 4 other alters make themselves known to me in the shower, which was a bit of a shock. As of right now, we're still very slowly working through therapy and dealing with at least 10 other major mental illnesses and disorders that I literally wasn't even aware of 14 months ago, and at last count our system of alters has at least 15 members, and still growing. Therapists are amazing. Even if you don't think there's anything wrong with you, if someone else thinks it might be worth talking to a professional about, DO IT! You never know what they might pick up on. - Ian
I went through my whole life thinking it was normal to poop once every 5 says or so. I was 19 when I was told that no, it is extremely not normal. I am 28 now and still struggle to go everyday. Turns out I have really sluggish intestines and the 19 years of constipation has dulled my ability to sense that I need to poop. 🤷🏼♂️
As a child from a doctor and a chronic patient with very unusual diseases, let me make something straight: ALWAYS SEARCH FOR A SECOND AND THIRD OPINION if you feel the problem wasn’t solved or the treatment is too huge. Many doctors won’t be able to treat you right and instead of sending you to another doctor will tell you there’s nothing wrong or try to do something that won’t work out. Also, many doctors will go for the bigger treatment when it isn’t necessary or it isn’t time for you for other reasons. There are many treatments that can take longer but be better for certain patients. Also, beware of weird out of the blue surgeries. This happened to a family member, he went to the doctor and they toldeis he needed a huge surgery (like put a metal inside of him big). He went to another doctor and there wasn’t anything wrong. Sadly, there are many doctors that make useless surgeries in order together your or your insurance money.
This reminds me of how my mom diagnosed my chronic disease. My mom is a pediatrician, which means she knows just the basics of every child disease. When I was four my knee started getting bigger and I was losing movement. All the doctors she brought me to, even the ones who were her professional friends, said I probably bumped it somewhere. My mom knew it wasn’t it because it was just getting bigger, it wasn’t red, purple or scratched. She took me to another doctor in another city, a rheumatologist specialized in children. Turns out I had (and still have) arthritis, the genetic type. My mom knew from the start but no doctor believed her.
uhhh so ive been experiencing these random heart pains that feels like it’s being jabbed by sharp sticks or times when my heart feels like it’s fluttering/heavy and i have to stop to catch my breath... i thought this was normal because it’s been happening for a long time now until i told my friend and she was concerned ✨✨👁👄👁
I think I have the same but it's hard to tell what severity and frequency is normal and all that. Sometimes my heart feels like it literally just stops, it's probably just fluttering but I immediately lose my breath and have to pound my chest to "jumpstart" it, it only ever lasts a few seconds. That happens maybe once every couple months. Then sometimes I'll just have shooting chest pains that last from a few seconds to a few minutes, those happen about equally as often. I've never been to a doctor either because my insurance situation is such a mess it's not even worth it
@@DoodleDumble I feel you. I think sometimes palpations can be normal like when stressed or after eating or it could actually be your chest muscles aching but idk I think if there's no other symptoms sometimes we just gotta go with the flow lol
I have Crohn's so, I'm under constant doctors (plural) watch and care. I, too, have the random heavy chest, hard breathing and pain. I mention it to my doctors and they check my blood labs and run tests. Everything always checks out. I started walking more. Got one of those watched with the step counters and heart rate monitors. I don't know. It seems to be helping. You can pick up a watch pretty cheap on the Amazon. It's a great motivator. I have a 'Very Fit Pro'. It's like $30 and connects with your phone. You can also read incoming texts through it but, can't text out. I am not a smart watch salesman... I can assure you. 😂
My grandfather has unfortunately passed away due to lung cancer. He didn’t think too much when he started to cough 6 months ago. Then he started coughing blood, didn’t think much of it either. On 18th of February, 2020 (my other grandfather’s death anniversary) we found out that he had cancer. He passed away on March 12th just because he didn’t get it checked out and thought it was normal to cough blood
It was the 6th week since giving birth, just a few days until I'd be cleared for normal activity. I felt a ton of what seemed like period cramp pain, but then it got worse, it hurt to move in certain positions, I had a ton of nausea, didn't feel like eating hardly anything, etc. I thought maybe it was the first period but after awhile I was like "This pain level is too high, something's not right" so the next day we went in and it turns out it was the first period AND appendicitis. Luckily it didn't burst yet and we got it removed but that meant ANOTHER 8 weeks of not lifting anything big, even limiting how much I held the baby bc he was hitting 10 lbs at thatpoint. I ended recovery right before Thanksgiving.
I once had a friend who was not aware that a person could see individual blades of grass from a standing position. That kind of rocked my understanding a little at the time.
After 5 trips to the ER and constantly being sent home with stomach flu meds, one surgeon on call took my case and sent me for tests. Turns out I was having an appendicitis attack seen thru my bloodwork but they couldn't even locate my appendix on CT scans. One exploratory surgery later and she found it attached on the left side(normally on the right) attached to an ovary, a kidney, and my back muscles on the lower left side. This had put me in pain all my life and no one caught it till my appendix almost exploded lol
I'm reminded of the time I tripped on a curb and fell with my whole weight on the side of my hand, mere hours before I was about to go meet a dear online friend for the first time at a convention. Hurt so bad I almost went blind and deaf for a moment, but then leveled off and felt mostly okay. Just a bit bruised. Went to the convention, had a wonderful time with my friend, came home and had the con cruds. Didn't feel better after a week so I went to the doctor. "Oh, by the way, could you x-ray my hand? Just to be sure?" I had shattered my pinky-side metacarpal. Fragments of bone were floating around int he flesh like carrots in soup. Body, you are supposed to fucking tell me when shit like this happens.
When my mom went to the mental hospital for the first time for psychosis I was surprised bc she always acted that way and I didn’t know it wasn’t normal.
my P.E teacher once told me that while she was exercising really frequently and having a great and healthy diet her periods simply "disappeared" for months or/and when happened they were really fast and not painful. Maybe that's it that is happening to you, but if not please go to the hospital because it can happen too when you are very overweight or very underweight and it's not normal (Sorry for my broken english. I'm Brazilian and still learning)
Most of your videos have so few views, but I love that you seem to skip over the “not a doctor” posts & you actually include interesting reply chains. Best reddit reading channel so far!
A guy came into class with a piece of glass sticking out of his arm. It was small, but that must have hurt. He said he didn't feel it. We just sent him to a clinic and the day kept moving. (We didn't remove it because, rule one of an injury, don't remove any foreign objects, it could make bleeding worse or cause an infection. My lifeguard training is paying off UwU)
When I was a kid I was playing in an outdoor playground at a restaurant, finished my meal with my family, drove home 30 minutes and then sat down in the kitchen and glanced down at my legs- I had a 2 inch piece of slate sticking out of the side of my knee, and blood crusted all around it. I didn't feel anything, I guess there's just not many nerve endings in your knee skin?
Not a doctor but a patient. I have two story's which both have the moral of the story that apparently I was raised to be ok with being in pain and thinking I should just deal with it by ignoring it. The first story was when I was a teenager and got braces and the dentist put a wire against the innerside of my lower teeth and one wire against my palate. Having braces, especially in the beginning is painful so I was ok with mostly eating soup and soft things for a while. When I went to the dentist after some weeks for a check up I clearly remember the baffled look on her face when she looked into my mouth. She said half of the upper wire that was pushing against my palate was ingrown and had to be taken out. When she asked if it hurt I said, yes but I taught it was supposed to. I TAUGHT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO DO THAT. She said it definitely shouldn't and laughed nervously. The second story is just some months ago when I had mononucleosis. I was feeling ill for many days and my throat hurt like hell to the point I sometimes had tears streaming down my face because of the pain. My mom being a pharmacy technician brushed it off by saying I probably got a cold or something and didn't take me seriously. So I brushed it off as well until I couldn't take it anymore cause a part of me was scared that if my throat would swell more than it already had I might get problems breathing since swallowing gave me excruciating pain and I went to the doctor. This older grown ass woman who is a doctor had seen many things in her life looked at me like my throat she had just seen was a portal to another univers. The disbelief and fear (probably for my health) in her face is tattooed in my memories. When I saw her face I just said, it kind of hurts (while even barley being able to speak) and without a change of her expression she just said I sure as hell bet it does. And these are just my experiences of me ignoring physical pain and brushing it off as normal. Don't let me start on the psychological pain and trauma I lived with for years telling my self I don't need a therapist I just need to get my shit together, grow up and be stronger. A quote to close of with: If you ever ask yourself. Hmm this hurts, or that feels not ok, but maybe it's a normal amount of pain, I tell you this. NO pain is the normal amount of pain!
I went to a new doctor. He wanted to do a complete physical workup, including x-rays of my spine. When the images came back, the doctor called me into his office and put them up on the viewer so he could go over them with me. I knew my back wasn't "normal." As we went over my x-rays, he was feeling my muscles and bones, using the images as guides. He couldn't believe that I was able to walk, much less work a physically stressful job. I had a bad case of scoliosis combined with a severe kyphosis. Three of my ribs had been broken a few years earlier and were not treated, so healed in a deformed manner. Yet, I worked a strenuous job that demanded I lift and bend constantly. My back muscles were extraordinarily over-developed to compensate for the lack of flexibility in the spine. The doctor's eyes were so wide, I don't think he had ever seen anything like me. That was over 30 years ago. I am in pain a lot now, but I can still work. The weird thing is that it isn't my back that hurts.

Fun fact: I have a blue dot on my ankle where I got fur from my plushie unicorn caught in a small cut when I was about 6. I am part unicorn.
That’s why I replaced mine with metal, you don’t have that annoying problem. The only problem is the constant pain.
@@Im_a_Chill_Panda I’m part metal.
So the first one is already making me sick. We're off to a good start.
haha i was eating while listening. we b used to too many disgusting things by now
its weird to think about how gross it is. when my sister broke her ankle the doctor accidentally cut her a little when trying to take the first cast off. they cleaned it up and put the second on, when they took the second off the cut was infected. and there were only a few weeks to a month between casts. to think that the lady's was on for years is just.... wow.
I’m gonna throw up.
Did you know that doctors sometimes use maggots to eat out badly wounded or infected areas of skin and tissue before putting implants or grafts its gross but true
I was feeling nauseous before even clicking this video. Watched it next to the toilet. Still didn’t throw up :/
I hear colors and thought every one else did too until I was 17 when I told a kid with a very annoying voice to stop talking to me because his color is killing me. Everyone looked at me like a racist (he was Hispanic) til I said "can't you hear it?" Now they were just staring in confusion. I'm a reasonable intelligent person and even being a teenager I still had some brain in my cranium. It dawned on me that literally no one before in my life had described sound as color. So I asked "don't you all hear in color?" Luckily my teacher went to Google and found it was a real thing though it is pretty rare. For the rest of my highschool years everyone came and asked me what color their voice was at least once.
god i wish i had a like. useful form of synthaesia, as an artist. i just have ordinal linguistic personification. like man. thanks body. ur gonna give my synthaesia but the most lame type
Now I wanna know what color my voice is...
Synthaesia is so cool!
I wish my synesthesia was cool like that. Instead, mine just causes me pain. Certain smells or sounds cause me pain. Like, the smell of many dog treats makes my teeth hurt. Some sounds hurt my legs.
I’m told that it’s probably related to my chronic migraines even though it doesn’t only happen when I’m having a migraine and it doesn’t only cause pain in my head.
Every once in a while I’ll tell my kid or nieces “ahg! Stop making that sound, it’s hurting my neck!” and every one in the room looks at me like I’ve lost my damn mind.
And when I’m having a migraine, loud or high-pitched sounds can make me see bright bursts of color. But not consistently enough that I can associate certain sounds with specific colors. It’s mostly just annoying because it blocks my vision.
Annie I’m so sorry :(
When I was roughly 13-14 I would randomly lose my eye sight and I never knew why. When it happened I would take my glasses off and after roughly 30 seconds it would come back. Rinse and repeat for a couple of months. (I don't like bringing up problems unless I'm unable to fix the problem and I was dealing with it at this point) Everything was under control until my birthday and I lost my vision so, I took the glasses off and waited... no vision... Okay this sometimes happened. Waited longer.. still no. Counted to 4 minutes... nothing.. sh*t, I think I should tell my mother. I carefully made my way down the stairs and told my mother plain and simple,
Me- Mum I can't see,
Mum- what?
Me- I can't see. I can see a little but it's mostly dark,
Mum- oh okay. Do you still want to go bowling?
Me- yeah of course!
Mum- okay. *gets up and gets her things and tells me to go to the car*
My mother takes me to the hospital. (I know, betrayal!!)
When we get to the hospital the doctors do multiple eye sight tests and I get a CAT (I think) scan (brain tumours/ cancer run in the family and tumours can take away your vision). And turns out my glasses prescription was DOUBLE what it was meant to be, the doctor told me she was surprised I wasn't hit by a bus. (I know looking back now I should have said but I had that doubled prescription since I was 3 so I grew up basically blind so I thought it was normal).
Everything is fixed now. I can see, so if I get hit by a car it's my stupidity.
Thank you reading this far, hope you have a nice day :-)
Kudos to your mom. Ifk why but I feel like she handled it like a pro
@@53lisam2 yep
Welp that's another thing that I have to bring up to my mom so she can ask the doctor next time. But... I don't know how I suppose to tell her that when I have other problems with my body since she ain't good with stress. And my family does have cancer and other things run through my family but the last time I went to my doctor with my mom they said I had a problem with my knee after just months or years ago saying I was just lazy.
@@Urolling please talk to your mom about this kind of stuff. Maybe she’ll be a little stressed out now, but imagine how stressed out she would be if you died or turned out to have a lifelong problem that could’ve been fixed if you went earlier. Please look out for yourself.
DOUBLE?! I can't even bear to have my gf's glasses for a minute without feeling super dizzy, and she haves roughly double than I have (we both have myopia and astigmatism, tho now I have A LOT more of astigmatism in my right eye than her because I recently had an injury and an infection that literally deformed my cornea, now I have a little round dent of about a radius of 2 milimiters so it deforms the light that enters my eye even more, but well, that's another story). How the hell did you endure 10-11 YEARS?!?!?
When I was younger, I was in late stages of kawasaki disease. We went to several doctors and they said I was either faking or just the cold/flu. The only way we found out was my mother refused to leave the doctors until they figured out what was wrong. When they found out it was kawasaki, they were horrified because I should have died weeks ago. They took me to the hospital and I was there for months. My heart is half the size it should be because doctors don't take females seriously and if it wasn't for my mother pulling a Karen, I would have died. I also have a condition where my spine is slowly disintegrating. Mine is worse than it should be because doctors didn't believe I was in that much pain and therefore didn't take the precautions to prevent it from escalating. Not all doctors are bad, but if your doctor isn't taking you seriously, then find a new doctor. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
not all doctors are bad but stories like this are WAY too common to not hint at a systemic problem.
When it comes to medical advocation, having a Karen at your side is a good thing!
Wtf that’s so bad tho. Like that’s so not okay, you should’ve sued the doctors
I feel like that’s a growing problem. Medical people who don’t care or think you’re lying. School nurses are the WORST about that! One time my friend wasn’t eating at all, was very hot to the touch, and shaking even though it was 90 degrees (Fahrenheit) out so I brought her the the nurse and you know what she did? She toke her temp, said it was “normal” and kicked her out of her office. OH. MY. HECKIN GOSH I WAS MAD. AND I AM NEVER MAD. I had to fight with myself with every single muscle to keep myself from punching this women in the face so hard she would fly to Alabama. DUDE. IF A FREAKING THIRD GRADER IS CERTIN SOMEONE THEY KNOW VERY WELL IS SICK, WHY CANT A HECKIN MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL TELL?! I hate her so much... You know usually I never get mad at anyone. But her? She just makes my blood BOIL.
Thank you for listening to my rant 😤
@@abbyg1466 the sad thing is, some doctors are like this to grown patients. It does happen a lot with children, because sometimes kids lie, but this happens to adults at an alarming rate. My mother has the same spinal condition I have and she got it when she was an adult. They didn't believe her until it was too late. It has normally happened to minorities (poc, women, people in the LGBTQ+ community) but it can happen to white straight men too. Sometimes it's the system, and sometimes it's the doctor. Make sure you know what's good for you. By no means act like an antivaxx mom, but know what may be going on with you. Get more than one doctor's advice before going along with something, especially if it's big, could be life threatening, not working etc.

mahe4 that’s called tmj, if it’s not bothering you it’s not worth worrying too much. You would talk to an orthodontist if you’re concerned. (I would describe my jaw as having the same condition, I was told it’s usually caused by braces, rough wisdom tooth extraction or trauma)
I grew up with parents who were the typical “walk it off” type. I got in trouble a lot for saying “I can’t”, “my back hurts too bad”, and countless other things. It turns out I have multiple injuries as well as an autoimmune disease that causes chronic pain. My lowest spinal disc is fused crooked to my sacrum at an angle, causing my spine to be misaligned from approximately the age of 11. I have no heat tolerance due to a thyroid disease, and thus I have had quite a few heat strokes. No one believed me that it was too hot, because I was fat. So, being denied medical issues has also caused me a lot of mental health problems. Listen to your children, if they’re hot or cold at normal temperatures take them to the Dr. if they complain of pain constantly, take them to the Dr. Please do not dismiss them with “you’re fine” we’re not. I see a chiropractor every two weeks or more frequently, and take daily medications now. I still have many complications. I am not fine. I have never been fine.
I feel bad for you! Hope you will be %100 soon! ❤️

My dad ate a bowl of cereal and milk. A few hours later, he had abdominal pain so bad he fainted (he's lactose intolerant) and broke his nose. We had an ambulance come and they did a CT scan to make sure nothing was wrong. I was in 4th grade and I will never forget how I was lying on the floor when the doctor came in and said that they found a mass on his kidney. When I saw the scan, it was half the size of his kidney and he had his entire kidney removed. A year later, we discovered that it metastasized into his lung. Luckily he survived and is now 7 years cancer free

I thought I was experiencing intense menstral cramps. It was actually a burst appendix.
For three years, two days before my period, I would be slammed with intense stomach cramps. I told the surgeon this. He was shocked. Those cramps were appendicitis attacks, not period cramps.
Sadly that's not even uncommon. People have missed everything from gallstones to THE START OF FULL-BLOWN LABOR because the pain was less than what they were accustomed to from cramps. I think we tend to really underestimate how bad those can be.
That just shows how awesome females actually are. Woman go through so much physical pain and all we can do is grit our teeth and bear it. Ugh.
I thought that was.. normal? Like, cramps before your period? Is that not normal?
@@jikra Depends on how bad it is
JinJam 704 Period cramps are mot the same a appendicitis pain.
When I was about 17 I felt a lump in my breast (breast cancer runs in my family) and had gone in to get it checked out and everything was fine, I didn’t have a tumor, but I was shamed by the doctor for coming in. She literally sat me down and told me I shouldn’t be making appointments for no reason. And I didn’t say anything about it because I was young and felt like obviously people who go to school for so long would be right over some high school girl. 🙃
holy fuck
That is disgusting obviously if you find anything wrong with your body you check it out. You did the right thing.
This is one of reasons why I don't go to hospital
I had something similar as a student. 19yo, away from home, felt a lump, went to uni health service and was completely dismissed no check up or anything. Was just told "I'm not giving you a note, you need to go to lectures" no matter how much I protested I loved my course and had 100% attendance. Took 3 more appointments over a couple of months before a doctor actually thought to check my breast - yep, emergency lump removal and cancer checks.
Had something similar happen to me when I asked to get screened for cervical cancer. I was 19 and my mom got it when she was 22. The reason they were able to treat it and she kept her fertility (thus allowing me to happen) was because they caught it so early. They looked at me like I was just an attention whore. It came back clear, but I'm glad I did it anyways because the peace of mind really mattered to me.
I went to an all-girls school, and PE teachers always gave me a hard time about not trying harder. I would get so embarrassed about how hard I found PE, and did anything to get out of it. But most girls hate exercise, right? My epilepsy doctor couldn't understand why my seizures were often triggered by exercise, but didn't look into it. As I got older, I started getting intense chest pain episodes and this was diagnosed as panic attacks. Try telling doctors you've been having a panic attack for three days and you're not panicking about anything - they didn't believe me. I eventually got given beta blockers but these made me exhausted and didn't help. In pregnancy I was so exhausted and had such bad episodes I thought I was dying. I was misdiagnosed with a heart condition, and the cardiologist was so annoyed with me for wasting his time over panic attacks that I learnt to live with the daily pain. This year, five years after the pains started, aged 33, I was talking to my now two-year-old son's doctor about his asthma over the phone when he said "you sound breathless yourself, are you sure you don't have it?" I'm on the highest dose of asthma medication now, and it turns out my asthma has caused a lot of my epileptic seizures in the past. I had awful asthma attacks in pregnancy and really could have died: thousands of people die of asthma every year. I think I was overlooked and dismissed at least in part because I'm a woman, and partly because I'm a woman I let that happen.
Don't think men would be treated better, they aren't.

try being a 60 year old cancer patient in the U.S. i've got quite literally millions of dollars in bills to pay at 63. but luckily i'm a stage 4 and as much as i can pay in my limited lifetime is all they're going to get.
not a doctor, but a few years ago, my knees used to move and dislocate themselves when I put too much pressure on them, instead of going to the doctor or something, I just relocated my kneecaps with my bare hands, you could practically hear a 'crack' when put into place, and then I would spend almost a month without being able to bend the knee due to the pain, when I talked to a doctor about it, his face alone told me that it's not very common for a person to just go a relocate dislocated bones themselves and continue with live as if nothing happened. Oops.
I didn't have it quite as bad, but about once a year/every other year as a teen I'd dislocate a kneecap and just be stuck with my leg awkward bent til it wriggled its way back into place, since the notion of touching it/sliding it back with my hand would probably make me faint. We asked a doctor friend for advice and he just said to do hip exercises which would protect my knees better and I haven't had a problem with it in like five years. Can't sit on my feet with my knees fully bent anymore though, since that's always what made them slide out of place
I have similar! I have what’s called trochlear dysplasia.
My knee caps dislocate insanely easily and I’d always relocate them on my own via just straightening my leg& id immediately put pressure on it.
This led to me fracturing my kneecap and not even know (supposedly really painful)

As someone studying radiology and diagnostic screening every comment concerning people’s weird joints and bone quirks makes my brain happy and I wanna see all of your x-ray and ct scans but I can’t
Waitwaitwait. Your telling me thats not normal? Sometimes my elbows and knees just seem to pop out of place so i put them back in with minimal pain and keep going
For about three to four weeks straight, I had on and off dull abdominal pain in my lower right side. Wasn't too bad, my mom thought it was just because I was ovulating and my ovaries hurt or something. It wasn't in constant pain, wasn't even sharp, probably about a two on the pain scale. At week two of the pain, I started to have no appetite and a bit of nausea. Finally went to the doctor, doctor told me to go to the hospital. She's worried about appendicitis.
I get to the ER and they take blood and give me an ultrasound. They see a little something with my appendix, and think that might be causing the slight pain. They give me a CT scan to see everything better. Results come back and they tell me it's acute appendicitis. Surgeon comes in though and says he doesn't think it's appendicitis, because people that have appendicitis don't have a dull pain for weeks, they have an extreme pain that happens suddenly. He thinks it's something else and doenst want to preform surgery. Gives me an antibiotic and keeps me for the night, says if the pain goes away because of the antibiotics then it's appendicitis and they'll remove it.
Next day, pain is gone, and surgery is scheduled. Turns out I had an appendix stone half the size of the actual appendix itself and did indeed have acute appendicitis. Not only that, but my appendix was tucked underneath my colon. They couldn't get it out in one piece and had to rupture my appendix in order to remove it in pieces. The surgeon does not understand how I wasn't in extreme pain, and how I managed to go almost a month with appendicitis and a stone that big inside me without anything rupturing.
I'm currently at home and recovering from said surgery. So far everything is going nicely with just a bit of pain and tenderness in my abdomen from the surgery
Update: turns out I have Crohn's disease and that caused the "poop ball" in my appendix
I, too, have Crohn's.
Mine started off as "possibly ulcers", then, "possibly diverticulitis"... the usual cycle.
Didn't get a full, true diagnosis until I told them it felt like I literally had a tube of golf balls shoved up my butt and they went in with a camera to find my colon swollen almost shut.
After several different meds I've landed on Humira and it's working the best, so far.
I haven't needed prednisone in over 5 years.
(I usually needed prednisone every 6 months for 6 years before that from flare ups)

two occasions first : went to hospital extreme lower pain felt like i had been shot ruptured ovarian cyst i walked to the hospital because boyfriend at the time was an ass thought i was faking it. second time went to hospital had been peeing blood for three days had passed kidney stone and i also had a mini stroke. so yea fun times
Idk appreciation isn’t as helpful as advocating for and believing women when they have problems.
So many professionals write women off, it’s infuriating.
My mom once was literally bleeding out from ovarian cancer and still tried to schedule to go into work that night. I said fuck that, called her best friend (my dad was at the store so he wasn’t home), and had her take my mom to the ER. Then called dad so he could go to the ER. Didn’t even know she had cancer till they did tests. She was bleeding so much that they could barely even run tests. She was ghost white and her body had gone into shock from it. And yet she still was gonna try and buck through it. She’s done shit like this multiple times before. Like once she permanently fucked up her foot when she slipped on the stairs, and still went to work that night. Women are just, something else man. They’re incredible.

This video made me look up what a "husband stich was".
I've just gained another thing to add to my long list of reasons I'm never having kids.
Also, this video legit just makes me think that schools should teach you *way* more about health. Like, general health. I already knew sex ed was bad, but there should probably be more like... Designated health classes. And not for a temporary event-type thing, *permantently.* A legit part of the curriculum. People need to know more about mental, physical and sexual health. I've learnt way more literal *basic* health info from random TH-cam videos than I ever have in school.
Apparently some doctors (like my first one did) will refuse to tie your tube's, unless your married, have a certain amount of kids, or if your husband says its ok. I have to wonderful kids but I chewed that doctors ass out
husband stitch is illegal and that's why docs don't ask or tell anyone they've done it
Health and anatomy classes should specifically have women’s anatomy taught too. We don’t have the same bodies as men and more people need to understand the complexities, then maybe people will stop ignoring pain.
The "husband stitch"... lights a fire of hatred in me that knows no bounds. If I ever see the doctor who did that to me... I plan to make him feel the pain he made me feel.
Can't you go to another doctor, tell him/her who did it, then get it undone?
@@MainelyLove I was fortunate. I didn't realize I had a husband stitch until it popped when we tried to be intimate. So it didn't take, but the pain of the stich popping was more painful than childbirth for me. But the real problem is my bodily autonomy was violated and I have had medical trauma responses since then, along with the other things he said and did. I recently have decided I will not be treated by male doctors outside of emergency situations.
On top of that, I gave birth at a hospital that cannot be sued for malpractice and there is no recourse for patients.
@@bellajaid Yes it is indeed a violation, and outrageous that a medical person would "do this" for the husband by tampering with the wife's body without her consent. Glad the procedure "failed" and sorry you had to endure pain from it. On another comment section from a medical topic Reddit video here on Utube, a woman described overhearing her husband ask whoever was in charge if that procedure could be done; she immediately made plans to divorce him, and followed through.
TL/dr: Started getting unexplained bad stomachaches on occasion in mid-20s. Parents passed it off as "getting older." Turned out to be a gall stone in my gall bladder, and three more in my bile duct, which was probably what caused the others. Had two surgeries and walked around with a tube in my stomach for a week.
I had a stomachache that was indicative of weird cramps I started getting occasionally in my mid-20s. My parents laughed and said it was just due to "getting older". This one really hurt a lot and kept me up for hours until I called my sister, who is a nurse, and she came over at 3 AM and made me a hot water bottle. That only worked for a half hour before I woke up in pain again. So she took me to the hospital. They did an ultrasound and discovered a gall stone. During the ensuing laparoscopic surgery to remove my gall bladder, the doctors found three additional stones in my bile duct. They couldn't remove them without doing the incision surgery, which I was unable to consent to either way at that particular moment. When I was awake again they informed me they'd need to do an additional separate surgery to remove those. I asked why they didn't check for that to begin with. My doctor said, "Usually when people have even one of those in their bile duct they show up here curled up on the floor in agonizing pain. Also, it's usually broken into little pieces. You had three perfectly round stones, like marbles going down a factory chute." Turns out it was hereditary. He told me I was the second youngest person he'd done this surgery on. They also had to have a specialist do the second surgery, which I had to wait three days to get. Meanwhile I was stuck at the hospital with a morphine drip that did literally nothing until the head nurse had to call my doctor on his day off to approve a non-opiod based painkiller. Turned out that was hereditary too. After the second surgery I had to return to work with a tube in my stomach for a week.
Why’d you have a tube in your stomach?
@@allisond.46 Something about extra fluid filtering out of the bile duct that was bad to allow to flow into the body, especially given I no longer had a gall bladder to filter the bile into. It wasn't much, not even enough to require any container to "catch" the fluid, it just trickled into the tube, which protruded a few inches from my stomach like an outie belly button, except it was off to the side, between some stitches. I returned to my doctor a week later, and he removed the tube and stitches, bandaged the hole and removed that a week later. It was sad because it was the last time I saw that doctor, and he was gorgeous.
@@gracegruen7847 Thanks, I'm much better now as it was a few years ago.
My doctor and the other two surgeons were shocked too. From what I gathered, they had done this surgery hundreds of times, but they were so surprised at what they were having an "omigosh, what should we do?" conversation and it was kind of embarrassing because there were (preapproved) students observing the "routine" surgery. There was some hindsight regret that they hadn't checked for it since they could have removed them then with prior knowledge or provision for an approval to do incision surgery, but since they hadn't, they decided to just finish and tell me about the additional stones, which would definitely still need to be removed, when I woke up.
I still couldn't comprehend how unusual it was and was like, "I don't understand why you don't test for that when you look for gall stones. I mean, they *do* happen, right?" He goes, "Di Di, you gotta understand...there's no precedent for 'casually' checking for that," shaking his head like he still was in disbelief. "People are usually in pretty severe pain when they get a gall stone. That's why we remove the whole gall bladder - so more stones don't form. Not a lot of people could take that kind of pain long enough for the stone to make it all the way to the bile duct. But occasionally you'll come across one of those rough, tough guys who don't 'complain' about pain, who finally comes in when it's gotten in the bile duct. And Di Di, let me tell you...I've seen big grown men, rolling on the floor, curled up, groaning and reduced to tears. So no one expected a petite young lady coming in for a 'bad stomachache' to have three extra stones in their bile duct. I mean, people don't walk in on their own with those."
It's really sad how most parents teach you that it's "probably nothing" if you're in pain. I found out a while ago that my mom is afraid of doctors. And I just recently went to the doctor because of a swollen foot (because it was swollen and hurt while walking for about a month), but the last time I went there before that was about 5 years ago I think, if not longer. And I'm not even gonna mention the dentist.
I also never got my blood taken until that time about a week ago when they needed to take it anyway to check on my foot. They were shocked when I told them that I never had my blood taken.
And I admit, I go to my mom a lot just to ask if something could be wrong, Like, I had an a little bit swollen wound from where my cat scratched me, and I went and asked her because I thought that it might be an infection. In the end, that wasn't serious, like most injuries I ask her about. (It just didn't get enough air and got wet) But I don't think that's something that she should look down on. I just want to make sure that I'm fine, and I don't think the internet is the best place to ask for stuff like that, because according to Google, every wound you have could probably be cancer or something.
I don't know, but I think that also just shows that I never learned what a "serious wound" looks like And what you should just wait out. Most people probably didn't.
My grandpa had to get surgery for that twice
Tbjkbe's confession sounds more like a mother ignoring the pain of the child for a full baseball season
Yep
Idk. Maybe but I get the sense that it's more like it's such a weird thing that you can't even fathom and becuase the child always was on their feet and even ignored their own pain, she couldn't help but ignore it. Surely if she even had an inkling of what was happening, she would've went to the doctor sooner for her child seeing as tho she went to the doctor when she was aware of something going on with her son
That's the weird thing about both sports and athletes. It's a damn dubious thing to figure out the differences between "being hurt" and "actually being injured"... Everyone in sports (no matter the sport) gets dinged up once in a while. You walk it off. You rub dirt in it and get back in the game. You take a drink of water and a few breaths of air, and then decide (usually not) to mention it to the coach.
Kids learn easily and early to "play through the pain", because 90% of the time, it's JUST sore feet. It's ONLY a cramp. It's a bit of a bruise, so what? If you complain enough to seek medical attention, you DO NOT GET TO PLAY anymore... at least for a while. Kids LOVE to play.
I didn't shirk the intramural swimming competition in my high school, even though I knew I had a couple broken ribs. (Car accident)... I was DAMNED if I was sitting it out. Besides, swimming was one of the very few things I truly excelled at doing. We still won our pizza party. AND hell... Anyways, there wasn't a lot they could do about broken ribs... give you pain killers and tell you to take it easy. Pah! I'll take it easy when it kills me... AND you can bury me in it.
Kids are like that... Maybe not ALL kids, but enough of them. It's understandable she wasn't aware that her son's flat feet required special insoles and shoes ALL the time. The truth is, he probably hated shoes because they were the wrong kind and didn't offer support properly for his feet, making them uncomfortable. BUT how many of us have known someone who just plain and simply hated shoes... Nothing wrong with them. They just hated shoes. I even knew a girl who went barefoot EVERYWHERE even in the friggin ice and snow of WINTER... IN KENTUCKY... I've seen her walk barefoot through the stuff up to her friggin' KNEES!
The point is, your knee-jerk reaction shouldn't just be, "Oh, the mom is neglecting her kid." Flat feet isn't exactly rare, but it's not commonly such an issue as to cripple the sufferer. I should know, with "fallen arches". I get better comfort with the insoles, but nothing to brag or go after the $50 ones from Dr. Scholls... not without an outstanding reason. ;o)
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 So true about athletes and just working through the pain! I grew up doing some pretty serious ballet, which is about as hard on the body as any sport, and we knew that we were going to get hurt, and we just had to dance through all the minor stuff. It wasn't uncommon for someone to land a jump wrong in class, twist an ankle, sit out and ice it for 15 mins, have our instructor give it a good looking over and whatever necessary first aid, then get up, put the pointe shoes back on, and get back on her toes. So I thought that pain in my hip was just something I'd pulled on a bad landing, nothing serious, and I had a big exam the next day. And I just took a couple of Tylenol, danced that exam, passed it, and... couldn't walk afterward. Yeah, that hip was fractured. But I was 16, determined, and full of stupid adrenaline and endorphins.
Oh, and my mum is that person who never wears shoes. She put on socks a couple of times this winter, during a week-long Ontario blizzard, when the temperatures hit -35 C, without windchill. She's a tough little lady.
@@neuralmute Yup... Knew a nearby Coach who put his football players through ballet. A lot of folks took exception about it... (lolz) BUT "Welcome to the Southern Fried Manhood state"... I guess. At least until they started "whining" according to the ballet instructors...
I was (for better or worse) never coordinated enough to be attracted to dancing... and it was murder on my knees (legit' no cartilage...)... so nothing against the sport, just not me.
BUT I'm imminently familiar with athletes and their various philosophies. I've been an herbalist for a long time, and a LOT of my regular business is in doling out Comfrey (aka "knitbone") to help speed up healing... and often to athletes who'd prefer any shortcut to get "back in the game"...
Thanks for the read and consideration. ;o)

@@masterjunko
Oh wow people have been using lol as a punctuation for so long now my mind just completely filtered it out. It actually took me several seconds to realise what you were referring to.
My "Oh I thought this was normal" story (I can post it on the reddit if anyone has the link) :
When I first got my period, they had said it would start off irregular, so I thought it was normal to go months or even a year without it for a while. At some point I realized it wasn't normal i guess, but I was in middle/high school by then so I didn't know what to do about it. During sophomore year spring finals, waiting finally took its toll. I ended up having a period where I would have to change my pad every hour if not more. But I still thought "Oh, it'll stop, this is probably normal." then once finals were over, I was lying in my computer chair, barely able to move (same one I'm in right now xP), I sluggishly pull myself up to go to the bathroom and after, I wash my hands, and as I was about to go dry them off, I suddenly collapsed, which my mom heard from the other room. I had the door locked and I was like half conscious, but I managed to reach the handle and she dragged me to the couch and I think my dad was also home too? Anyway, I was driven to the ER and it turned out I was extremely anemic. (I'm also a very small person, 5'1 right now so I was 5'0 or 5'1 by then probably?) and they ended up giving me 2 blood transfusions (so, 2 pints) as I stayed overnight and they almost gave a third, but they decided to just have me take iron pills to build up blood again.
They never did find out why that happened... all my blood tests came out negative when all was said and done and the ultrasound I got in the ER found nothing. and my periods were regular-ish for a while because I was on birth control, but I went off it because it gave me depression during junior year. I should really go back to my OBGYN and maybe end up trying them again now that I'm an adult (turning 22 this year), because I still either am on and off with just a tiny bit of blood for weeks or I don't have it for a month.
I have a story of similar nature about periods except it’s the opposite of yours. I remember thinking my friend who barely got her period was lucky or my other friend who got her period every month but didn’t bleed very much was also lucky. At the time I didn’t realize how much or how little they got their periods or how much they bleed. I had my first period at 11. That same month I had another period. From then on I had more periods, 2 or 3 times or 3 to 4 times a month and I would bleed a lot. It was very common almost always would I go through these huge maxi pads I had (they were thick) in less than an hour. I would constantly bleed through underwear and clothes sometimes. It got everywhere sometimes. I’d be in horrible pain where it really hurt to move or go to school but I’d have to because my mom wouldn’t let me stay home. I use to collapse or blackout because of the crazy period symptoms and the blood loss. Last summer in June thankfully the implant of birth control finally worked! The birth control pills I had tried previously were making it worse because unbeknownst to me they had milk in them and my body doesn’t handle dairy. Thankfully now I don’t get my period on my birth control!
The beginning of this may seem a little bit misleading, while in your case it was because of a condition you had, in others it is normal. When you first get your period, it is actually normal for it to be irregular for about 1 or 2 years after, then it will usually work itself out and become regular. If it doesn't, it may be that something is wrong, especially if you bleed through a pad in an hour or less.
Woah thats scary. I started my periods very nice and normal. Slightly heavy, mostly every month and no cramps at all, but i was still anemic for some reason lol. Even passed out once for idk how long because nobody noticed, and i never told anyone. periods can be really weird lmao
Everyone else here talking about their periods they got at a normal ago and/or the problems they've had with periods. Meanwhile, here I am last year thinking it's perfectly normal not to have a period yet....
I still haven't had one. I'm going to be a senior in highschool. I was supposed to be going back to check on that in April or May, but COVID happened.
Chuchupikachu TheGamer yikes, it sounds like you have primary amenorrhea. You’re supposed to start having periods around 9-12 years old. Certain birth control pills should help induce your period. hopefully you get that checked out soon!
I was the one who said: “oh I thought that wad normal”
I went to a psychiatrist when I was 14 and was baffled by how concerned she looked, my mother had been assuring me for 3 years that the way I behaved was totally normal, all teen girls are like that. Psychiatrist said it was absolutely not normal.
What was it, if it's okay to ask?

Did anyone else have whatever the story was with the hairs pulled out just not....play?
Yeah, it didn't play for me either
Looks like they accidentally messed up when editing and added that reply into the wrong reply chain. I read this thread a couple days ago, basically the story was that this dude who worked as a barber came into the ER because he had hair coming through the skin on the back of his hand. When the doctors asked why the hell he had hairs pushing out of the back of his hand he was like "Oh, it's probably because of this" and flipped his hand over to reveal a gaping wound in his palm. Turns out the guy had diabetes (I think?) and it just never healed/closed up and for two years he just continued to cut hair and it kept getting in there to the point that his body was trying to push it out of the opposite side of his hand. The doctors had to keep pulling hairs out and couldn't get them all, said he would have to come in a few more times to clean it all out.
@@Shrimp_Insurance I am not a doctor, and know next to nothing about diabetes, so I honestly have no idea what the connections are between diabetes, palm wound, and hairs on the back of the hand, and why pulling those hairs out would help in any way, or how this man could just deal with an unhealing wound on his palm, while working in a business that requires the finesse of his hands.
I am more confused now, than when I first heard the robot talking about it, when it had nothing to do with what was being talked about before it.
@@leirawhitehart1236 Basically his disease (which I'm pretty sure was diabetes) prevented his wound that he got from healing, so when he went about his job cutting hair the hair of his clients inadvertently went into the open wound. When his body realized that there was a foreign body in his flesh it tried to push it out the opposite side. It's the same thing that your body does if you get shot, eventually it pushes the bullet out. Or a more common example would be a splinter, if left in your body will isolate it and eventually push it out. Same thing was happening with the foreign hairs that got into this guys wound when he was cutting other peoples hair, so they had to be removed, the doctors weren't plucking his own hairs they were loose hairs that got into his open wound
@@leirawhitehart1236 If it was diabetes, it's possible he also had neuropathy, which means he wouldn't have felt any pain at all from the sore. And even if he had some sort of bandaid over it, haris would probably go under it. What surprises me is that he somehow didn't get infected. People with diabetes are more likely to get an infection, and infections are less likely to heal, which leads to amputation. I feel like he was pretty lucky with the outcome!
My husband has diabetes, and on our honeymoon in 2013 he scratched his legs on the beach. He still has sores on his legs, in 2020. Sometimes they get smaller and go away, but then they reappear for no clear reason. This could have been the same kind of thing, he may have scratched or cut his hand and as a result have a sore for years.

I have a fun one to add as a patient! I had severe chronic pain and fatigue since I was 6 (I'm now 19), to the point of being in tears and missing a ton of school. I was told by doctors, family, teacher, and anyone that would listen, that it was growing pains. By 18 I got a new doctor that actually listened and as it turns out I have autoimmune thyroid disease, lupus, ibd, fibro/arthralgia, degeneration in a few of my vertebral discs as well as anterolisthesis (slipping of the disc caused by misalignment of the vertebrae), degeneration of the vertebral bones (spine), postural orthostatic tachycardia, Idiopathic dystonia, an alarmingly high resting heart rate (around 130-140, I'm getting that checked out currently), and am in the process of getting genetic testing for Ehlers Danlos syndrome! I've had to use a cane, a walker, and eventually a wheelchair before finding medication that helped, though I still use my cane and my walker when it's really bad. So much for it being "just growing pains" 😂
Growing pains! That’s what they told me too. 🙄 But since it seemed fairly mild I believed them, and no one thought much of it. That is, until my dad came to pick me up from school one day and found me sitting inside, alone, crying, because moving my neck hurt so much I didn’t dare move.

Re: The periods thing. I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and before I got treatment for it, I had the exact same symptoms! On top of that, I was also constantly stomach achingly hungry. I'd pig out at dinner the night before and then wake up at 6am feeling like I was going to die from starvation. Turns out my biochemistry was all out of wack- I'm now on Metformin and the oral contraceptive pill to manage my symptoms and am making lifestyle changes to lost the excess fat so I don't develop diabetes.
Other symptoms I had included depression, excessive body hair (no joke, I had sideburns), weight that I couldn't quite seem to lose (Although this I think was moreso I hated exercise and ate a lot) and I didn't have a feminine fat placement like my curvy peers did- my trunk was thicker compared to my limbs, and this is apparently more masculine. Wasting of the limbs and a super thick trunk and neck can be a sign of Cushings disease too, so whatever the symptoms, get them checked!
This is me because I grew up drinking milk with breakfast every day, and milk at lunch and snack time as a kid. I used to always not feel too great after them and would always feel a little bit sick.
It took me until I was in high school where a friend went "yeah that's not as normal as your parents told you it was" and I have actually been lactose intolerant.
The other one I got is that apparently for 22 years, I've had a couple issues in my knee where I could just be randomly walking and one of my kneecaps will dislocate and I'd fall. I've had both knees badly located to a point where I ended up in the hospital. It took me moving to a whole other city for a doctor to take me seriously and explain that I have a couple of birth defects in both my knees, only to be made worse by doctors repeatedly not taking me seriously.. and I will suffer permanent damage for the rest of my life because of it.
i thought being exhausted all the time, losing my sense of taste, and having trouble breathing were just symptoms of working hard and having a cold. turns out high blood pressure shredded my kidneys and i was in complete renal failure. my symptoms were being cause by severe anemia and my kidneys not being able to remove fluid causing my lungs to fill.
also when using lidocaine cream to help with the dialysis needles i learned that local anesthetic actually works for most people and i'm just extremely resistant to it to the point that i need about 3x as much as normal. i've had a few surgeries under local that i could almost entirely feel and i thought that's just how it was.
Damn Solidarity comrade.
My sister vomited blood when she was 2 months old or something like that. They eventually found out that she was sucking too hard during breastfeeding so that blood would come out instead of milk.

Not a physical condition, but I remember my Mom, who worked in the cath lab, had to be sat down by her coworker and explained to her that it wasn't normal for husbands to beat their wives, and if her boyfriend is getting physical with her she should break up with him.
That was the very first time someone explained that concept to her, and she had such a hard time comprehending it.
"Come on, you can't tell me your fiance doesn't hit you?"
"No!"
"Seriously? He's never? Not even when he's drunk?"
"NO!"
My mom once had a full body scan done for something and the doctor asked "hey why are both bottom halves of your lungs collapsed?" My mom had no idea this was the case and was thoroughly confused. A week later she was talking to her mom who told her "oh when you were a baby you got a really bad lung infection that made them collapse, you almost died." Basically my mom's whole life she had difficulty breathing that as a kid she just thought was normal and as an adult she thought it was because she smoked. Apparently she only had about one collective lung though.
I started seeing double a month ago. When it started, I figured I was just straining my eyes and waited a week before to go to the hospital. At my first hospitalization, they found nothing. A week after going back home I came back with trouble chewing, running/jumping, moving my fingers, lifting my arms. Turns out I have myasthenia, a rare autoimmune neurological disorder, and if I waited longer I could've had trouble swallowing or, in worst case, breathing, and could've been misdiagnosed with COVID and been given medication that makes myasthenia worse.

A ways back, when my sister was about 16, she was having issues with her periods, as it was irregular and very painful. Our mom had the same kind of issues when she was younger, and recommended going to the doctor to see about birth control to help with the hormones. The doctor said that it was good idea and prescribed her what they said was the lowest dose. Now the thing about my sister is that she loved going to school. She had great grades, and though she wasn't necessarily popular, she had friends and enjoyed herself. It's also important to note that she had quite a few extracurriculars, but she never missed them and worked really hard. After she was prescribed the birth control by her doctor, she started experiencing depression and severe anxiety, to the point where she would just want to stay home or where she would break down crying in class. It got much worse than that, but I'm not going to expand farther than that. My mom took her to a psychiatrist and therapist to help her with what she was going through. I believe it was the psychiatrist who recommended going to an Obgyn. She went, and the Obgyn was extremely confused. It turns out that her regular doctor prescribed the *highest* dose instead of the lowest. It cause a chemical imbalances which really instigated the depression and anxiety. She's still having some difficulties with it today.
I have had two instances of “I thought that was normal” as a patient.
1. When I lay on my back completely horizontal to the ground, my tongue blocks my throat and I can’t breathe. Turns out my mouth is abnormally small while my tongue is abnormally large and when my head is horizontal with the ground gravity takes hold cause my tongue can’t suction to the top of my mouth like it’s supposed to given that the surface area of the top of my mouth is so much smaller than the surface area of my tongue.
2. When I walk, my calves rotate rotate away from my body rather than just swinging forward like they’re supposed to. Turns out I have a genetic tilted pelvis that causes my weird gait.
Neither thing is dangerous, but they are definitely weird. Also because of my small mouth I have had to have four adult teeth and my wisdom teeth pulled to make room and there isn’t even a noticeable gap where the adult teeth were because my mouth is just that small.

Also what is this "husbands stitch"?
A "husband stitch" is something done, usually after a woman has given birth and they are stitching up any tearing... It's an extra, unnecessary stitch done by old men so that the woman will have a nice tight vag... So tight that now sex hurts and even examination by a Dr will hurt really bad... And most women wont know it was done to them... So basically, if you're female, and want babies, make sure the person who stitches you up after doesn't throw in anything extra...
@@lynnsavage1981 They do it because they think it makes sex nicer for there man. Sickos.
@@Maplekittycity Men aren't all like that. I agree that's sick, by saying "sickos" i feel like you're generalizing all men
@@blubaylon In context, I think it's directed at these doctors who would do this. I think most men now would care more about the pain and how it would make sex less appealing and therefore less frequent. No one wants their sex life to end. Any doctor who takes it upon himself to "improve" a couple's sex life is probably ruining it. Any husband who would actually want this done is ruining his own sex life, and I feel most would be pissed to find out a doctor ruined it for them, if not pissed simply on the woman's behalf. It's just a stupid thing to do, like so many things people used to do.
Thank goodness that didn't happen to me. Well, the doc who stitched me up was a woman so very unlikely any way, but the stretching of giving birth was exactly what I needed to actually physically enjoy sex. Before that, I got horrible painful cramps when I neared climax, even if sex itself didn't hurt. Just as a note though, I did enjoy it before as well, just more on the emotional level.

For a good portion of my life I've had troubles doing activities that require small persice movements of the hands, for example handwriting has always been really hard for me. I finally went in to the doctor about it when I was in high school and doing work on motherboards and struggled much more than my classmates. She said I was "just not eating enough" so my body was shaky (I was a skinny kid, but not terribly underweight). When I got a new doctor later on he found out I've got a benign tremor that most people develop in their 60s or so, but it started when I was only a child. Now I've got pills I can take to calm it down if I need to do something that requires a lot of dexterity.

My sister has a not really bad case of ‘oh, I thought that was normal’
When we were teenagers we did a sport/dance that required costuming. Principal coach and my mum got on pretty well so she had gotten a costume for my sister so she could check for spacing in decorations.
Sister shoulders were tilted (left lower) so mum said ‘stand straight, your shoulders are tilted’, sis said ‘I am’.
Turns out my sister has mild scoliosis, now she wears a brace sometimes and does physio.
She(Sister) complains about her left shoulder hurting do mum asks if she’s been wearing her brace, if my sis says no, she’ll wear it tomorrow(the answer is always no)
Mom took me in for a cough in kindergarten. Turns out I had aggressive allergy and exercise induced athsma and also Bronchiole Pneumonia.
I had allergy caused asthma as a kid, from black mould/leaf mould. Didn't realise until I woke up and walked to mum in the early stages if an asthma attack - we just thought I had a chronic cold so moved me out of my sister's room. Finally found the source of the mould when we moved out and found the entire wall behind the tv cabinet was black with mould.
Soooooo, I thought it was normal for allergies to make it hard to breathe. Went through so much in middle and high school bc I was always so tired. I am like the op in the video and allergic to everything outside (literally, everything). It wasn't until I was 24 that I was actually diagnosed with asthma. Turns out I'm not out of shape either, just asthmatic. I am surprised I'm still alive tbh.
I stopped going to male gyns after one told me "Oh, that doesn't hurt you" when he examined me after my hysterectomy. I was younger then, so I didn't tell him, " wow, thanks for telling me. I thought it hurt me, but I MUST BE MISTAKEN ."
For as long as I could remember, I had floaters. I went to my parents and asked them about "What are those faded shadows I see moving around?" My mom said they were just shadows of things that were moving and that light made them look faded. My dad ignored me completely. I thought nothing of it and actually used my floaters as entertainment when I was being punished (I know now I was a good kid, my parents even agreed with that statement but I was punished a lot. They deny it happening that often but I have vivid memories where I would've been scared for my life by my brother crying in the bathroom with the door abracadabra and locked with him banging on the door and then getting punished for locking myself in the bathroom simply because my brother told them a lie and believed him because he was older and because I "must've made it up to get out of work" which was never the case but they claim to motivate remember it) I was punished a lot and had no entertainment. All I could so otherwise was clean (I didn't do that because I never deserved to be there) or lay on my bed (which was a couple of rags, a pink blanket I got for Christmas when I was 7 and a pillow or two at the foot of my parent's bed. Before that they would lock me in my crib that I was forced to stay in despite it being a hand-me-down and me being 5) I had stuffed animals (the closest things I had to friends even within my own family, I still have them today and don't know what I would do without them). My parents never believed that I had floaters until just a month ago, where I described them again while baking with my mom because one had gotten in the way of me reading for a minute. My mom started freaking out saying "You shouldn't have floaters you're way too young!!!" I was just looking at her with a non caring expression and replied "I could vividly explain what they looked like when I was 4 and I actually did multiple times and yet NOW you just realize and decide to tell me something is wrong after at least a decade?!" I can tell you she did not like that reply. This wasn't as significant but it was a "I thought that was normal" story. Worst part was is that I wanted to ask a doctor about it but my parents would become furious with me for talking when the adults were talking about important matters... so I never was actually able to tell a doctor what was completely wrong singe I was dismissed so much and I was afraid. No matter your age... you know your body better than anyone else, if you're worried about something never let it get dismissed without a proper explanation and reason.
The comment about knowing family medical history is so important. It can help as a starting point for figuring out if something is wrong as some symptoms can actually be caused by many different things. Example depression can be mental illness or a symptom of thyroid imbalances or b12 or vitamin d deficiencies. Granted anything with similar symptoms should be checked out anyways because family medical history isn’t the end all be all but it is a good starting point.
I have some stories.
My knees have hurt since I was 9 when I got hit really badly in hockey, I’m talking sprained and twisted bones and joints, plus a major concussion and being out for weeks after I was cleared of it. 3 years a later my knees still hurt, so my parents took me to get them checked. Turns out I fractured one knee and caused bad nerve damage to the other. Don’t worry though, I’m fine now with occasional pain every now and again.
Another story for you, I had a small, not so small pool accident. Some kid was sitting on a flutter board and I was behind him when it popped up and hit me square in the jaw. Now my jaw does some weird stuff that my friends are worried about but it only hurts if I chew a certain way or in the mornings when I sleep funny.
Just thought they went well with the video theme so thought I would share them.
"or *this* will be in your bed tonight."

Jesus. Some of these are intense.
I went to see a therapist in November 2019 at the recommendation of friends and family to help me process exploring gender and orientation. I'm the type to deal with an issue if I notice one, but I didn't think I had any problematic symptoms of anything that needed extra care.
3 weeks and 4 sessions later we were exploring dissociative disorders because my lack of focus was apparently more indicative of severe dissociation than the ADD that I'd been on medication for since the age of 7. Not even 3 days after that and I found out rather dramatically that I definitely have a severe dissociative disorder. Still undiagnosed as of Feb 2021, but very likely OSDD-1b.
That initial incident was having 4 other alters make themselves known to me in the shower, which was a bit of a shock. As of right now, we're still very slowly working through therapy and dealing with at least 10 other major mental illnesses and disorders that I literally wasn't even aware of 14 months ago, and at last count our system of alters has at least 15 members, and still growing.
Therapists are amazing. Even if you don't think there's anything wrong with you, if someone else thinks it might be worth talking to a professional about, DO IT! You never know what they might pick up on.

I had chronic constipation for over a decade. Didn't realize that I was allergic to milk.
I went through my whole life thinking it was normal to poop once every 5 says or so. I was 19 when I was told that no, it is extremely not normal. I am 28 now and still struggle to go everyday. Turns out I have really sluggish intestines and the 19 years of constipation has dulled my ability to sense that I need to poop. 🤷🏼♂️
@@gfancy7853 go get a trampoline it does help ...
As a child from a doctor and a chronic patient with very unusual diseases, let me make something straight:
ALWAYS SEARCH FOR A SECOND AND THIRD OPINION if you feel the problem wasn’t solved or the treatment is too huge.
Many doctors won’t be able to treat you right and instead of sending you to another doctor will tell you there’s nothing wrong or try to do something that won’t work out.
Also, many doctors will go for the bigger treatment when it isn’t necessary or it isn’t time for you for other reasons. There are many treatments that can take longer but be better for certain patients.
Also, beware of weird out of the blue surgeries. This happened to a family member, he went to the doctor and they toldeis he needed a huge surgery (like put a metal inside of him big). He went to another doctor and there wasn’t anything wrong. Sadly, there are many doctors that make useless surgeries in order together your or your insurance money.
This reminds me of how my mom diagnosed my chronic disease.
My mom is a pediatrician, which means she knows just the basics of every child disease.
When I was four my knee started getting bigger and I was losing movement. All the doctors she brought me to, even the ones who were her professional friends, said I probably bumped it somewhere. My mom knew it wasn’t it because it was just getting bigger, it wasn’t red, purple or scratched.
She took me to another doctor in another city, a rheumatologist specialized in children. Turns out I had (and still have) arthritis, the genetic type. My mom knew from the start but no doctor believed her.
uhhh so ive been experiencing these random heart pains that feels like it’s being jabbed by sharp sticks or times when my heart feels like it’s fluttering/heavy and i have to stop to catch my breath... i thought this was normal because it’s been happening for a long time now until i told my friend and she was concerned ✨✨👁👄👁
I have this too 😅 but I haven't seen a doctor cos I know they'll just tell me it's stress or something and not actually check it sooo
I think I have the same but it's hard to tell what severity and frequency is normal and all that. Sometimes my heart feels like it literally just stops, it's probably just fluttering but I immediately lose my breath and have to pound my chest to "jumpstart" it, it only ever lasts a few seconds. That happens maybe once every couple months. Then sometimes I'll just have shooting chest pains that last from a few seconds to a few minutes, those happen about equally as often. I've never been to a doctor either because my insurance situation is such a mess it's not even worth it
@@DoodleDumble I feel you. I think sometimes palpations can be normal like when stressed or after eating or it could actually be your chest muscles aching but idk I think if there's no other symptoms sometimes we just gotta go with the flow lol

My grandfather has unfortunately passed away due to lung cancer. He didn’t think too much when he started to cough 6 months ago. Then he started coughing blood, didn’t think much of it either. On 18th of February, 2020 (my other grandfather’s death anniversary) we found out that he had cancer. He passed away on March 12th just because he didn’t get it checked out and thought it was normal to cough blood
It was the 6th week since giving birth, just a few days until I'd be cleared for normal activity. I felt a ton of what seemed like period cramp pain, but then it got worse, it hurt to move in certain positions, I had a ton of nausea, didn't feel like eating hardly anything, etc. I thought maybe it was the first period but after awhile I was like "This pain level is too high, something's not right" so the next day we went in and it turns out it was the first period AND appendicitis. Luckily it didn't burst yet and we got it removed but that meant ANOTHER 8 weeks of not lifting anything big, even limiting how much I held the baby bc he was hitting 10 lbs at thatpoint. I ended recovery right before Thanksgiving.
I once had a friend who was not aware that a person could see individual blades of grass from a standing position. That kind of rocked my understanding a little at the time.
After 5 trips to the ER and constantly being sent home with stomach flu meds, one surgeon on call took my case and sent me for tests. Turns out I was having an appendicitis attack seen thru my bloodwork but they couldn't even locate my appendix on CT scans. One exploratory surgery later and she found it attached on the left side(normally on the right) attached to an ovary, a kidney, and my back muscles on the lower left side. This had put me in pain all my life and no one caught it till my appendix almost exploded lol
Wow! Just... Wow!

I'm reminded of the time I tripped on a curb and fell with my whole weight on the side of my hand, mere hours before I was about to go meet a dear online friend for the first time at a convention. Hurt so bad I almost went blind and deaf for a moment, but then leveled off and felt mostly okay. Just a bit bruised. Went to the convention, had a wonderful time with my friend, came home and had the con cruds. Didn't feel better after a week so I went to the doctor. "Oh, by the way, could you x-ray my hand?

The picture at the beginning remind me of those thumb guys from spy kids.
Not a doctor but a patient. I have two story's which both have the moral of the story that apparently I was raised to be ok with being in pain and thinking I should just deal with it by ignoring it. The first story was when I was a teenager and got braces and the dentist put a wire against the innerside of my lower teeth and one wire against my palate. Having braces, especially in the beginning is painful so I was ok with mostly eating soup and soft things for a while. When I went to the dentist after some weeks for a check up I clearly remember the baffled look on her face when she looked into my mouth. She said half of the upper wire that was pushing against my palate was ingrown and had to be taken out. When she asked if it hurt I said, yes but I taught it was supposed to. I TAUGHT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO DO THAT. She said it definitely shouldn't and laughed nervously.
The second story is just some months ago when I had mononucleosis. I was feeling ill for many days and my throat hurt like hell to the point I sometimes had tears streaming down my face because of the pain. My mom being a pharmacy technician brushed it off by saying I probably got a cold or something and didn't take me seriously. So I brushed it off as well until I couldn't take it anymore cause a part of me was scared that if my throat would swell more than it already had I might get problems breathing since swallowing gave me excruciating pain and I went to the doctor. This older grown ass woman who is a doctor had seen many things in her life looked at me like my throat she had just seen was a portal to another univers. The disbelief and fear (probably for my health) in her face is tattooed in my memories. When I saw her face I just said, it kind of hurts (while even barley being able to speak) and without a change of her expression she just said I sure as hell bet it does. And these are just my experiences of me ignoring physical pain and brushing it off as normal. Don't let me start on the psychological pain and trauma I lived with for years telling my self I don't need a therapist I just need to get my shit together, grow up and be stronger.
A quote to close of with: If you ever ask yourself. Hmm this hurts, or that feels not ok, but maybe it's a normal amount of pain, I tell you this. NO pain is the normal amount of pain!
I went to a new doctor. He wanted to do a complete physical workup, including x-rays of my spine. When the images came back, the doctor called me into his office and put them up on the viewer so he could go over them with me. I knew my back wasn't "normal." As we went over my x-rays, he was feeling my muscles and bones, using the images as guides. He couldn't believe that I was able to walk, much less work a physically stressful job. I had a bad case of scoliosis combined with a severe kyphosis. Three of my ribs had been broken a few years earlier and were not treated, so healed in a deformed manner. Yet, I worked a strenuous job that demanded I lift and bend constantly. My back muscles were extraordinarily over-developed to compensate for the lack of flexibility in the spine. The doctor's eyes were so wide, I don't think he had ever seen anything like me. That was over 30 years ago. I am in pain a lot now, but I can still work. The weird thing is that it isn't my back that hurts.
Wow. I’ve never had a Dr show me my imaging before. Youre lucky.
