Aggravating or alleviating factors
Associated factors
Your Perception

I'm trying to ignore it, not analyze every detail

i suck at WoW and used to own

i hate young people

im boring and fake enthusiasm

i met riff raff and smoked a blunt with him, now hes viewed as a joke

life sucks but ill ride with you fuckers as long as this heart beats

[copstache]

copstache i got some joint problem from riffing too hard out of the gate and thought of your similar woes (hope I'm not misremembering)

nah bro that was me. i actually bought ergonomic mice for home and work and switched to playing games with controllers over mouse/keyboard as much as possible and my wrists slowly got better. In that time i switched over to bass because it was less stressful but now i go back and forth between bass/guitar and neither one bothers my wrist anymore.

those vertical mice are expensive and dumb as shit but they sure do work.

i had some xrays taken today of my left thumb because of arthritis

[Necrometer]

stoked about your shred recovery, copstache! I'm mostly better but I had been working on figuring out (and mastering) thus chug/gallop syncopation thing that had me holding the pick SO fucking tightly, and this was at the same time when I was rock-climbing "lead" a lot, which involves pulling the rope up as it drags across your hooked index finger, basically torquing the finger "down" towards the palm, which is the same sort of pressure that goes on the finger when holding the pick. the intersection of those two things fucked up my big knuckle, and it took like a year of partial rest for it to recover. intermittent ice is awesome for joint stuff but for some reason I was fucking TERRIBLE about it with this injury.

fuck!

all this finger talk has me wondering about the status of clint's zany balloon finger...

[Geeheeb]

abolish ice

this recovery time also taught me how to properly alternate pick with string skipping and shit so in the long run i came out ahead hahah

i dont' know how the fuck some dudes make it to their 50s mostly downpicking and whatnot without huge injuries

NO ONES ACTIVELY TRYING TO SELL ME VINYL SIDING.

born too late...

[copstache]

dudes offering to reseal your driveway are evergreen though

[Eight Bit Alien]

i resealed my driveway like 4 days after getting one for the first time, and it was easy

I mean granted its nothing but cracks now but I'm still not paying anyone to help

[cxwx]

Most of the door to door sales people I get are for lawn care.

The last one I had was for pest control. The lady asked me if I was married. I wasted about ten minutes of her time asking smart assed questions like “couldn’t I just walk around my house with a can of Raid instead of paying you $50?” because I’m a prick and she was wearing Lycra.

There was a really hot chick once trying to sucker me into a Kirby vacuum. I must be on a known list of horny middle aged losers that they send these women to try to bilk money out of.

Oh and some guy tried to give me a bunch of free meat claiming he was at the end of his shift and it would get thrown out. (it was a door to door meat truck or some Eric Bischoff like bullshit). I declined. It was as gay as it sounds.

I hurt myself sleeping

[copstache]

I hurt myself sleeping

yeah i did that few months ago. my neck was messed up for like two weeks.

[spacehamster]

I had an infected prostate last month.

I win.

[Necrometer]

I hope it wasn't infected with cancer!

[Eight Bit Alien]

I had an infected prostate last month.

I win.

yeah thats fucking rough dude

[Eight Bit Alien]

if that happened to me though I would feel kinda proud if I could jizz disease everywhere

I'd put an elephant harness around my waist, and fight spiderman as The Toxic Trunk

Gimmie everything in the vault
Don't make me tug it

oh no! BROODLE-DOOT BROODLE-DOOT

NOW CLEAN YOURSELF OFF, AND GET A Z-PAK

[spacehamster]

That's what you think about with hindsight, but while you're sitting there pissing blood and it feels like a goblin is pulling razorblades out of your dick, you don't really get any grand ideas.

No cancer, though.

[Necrometer]

you're sitting there pissing blood and it feels like a goblin is pulling razorblades out of your dick

what the fuck!?!?!?!

[Eight Bit Alien]

it's a metaphor for the pain

[spacehamster]

I'm not really exaggerating either, it's insanely painful. If you have a fever and shivers and you're peeing even a little funny, go to the doctor. You don't want to wait around for the next part. I'm one of those people who basically only go to the doctor if something's clearly broken or I feel like I'm dying, and this has... taught me to maybe get shit looked at a bit sooner.

The urologist also said to get yearly checkups after the age of 45 because about 20% of men get prostate cancer at some point after that age. It's like misandry cancer, killing us off by the millions.

I had a real hot burny pee right after reading this thread and it stressed me out

I know you're not a real big fan of science and medicine, but I'd get that checked out.

[Jimm O' Lation]

couldn't he just pretend it's nothing serious? he seems to be fine with blocking out reality any other day of the year.
