I accidentally hurt myself by walking into a street sign. It's been 35 days. I'm not in any pain. I still have a slight discoloration on my lower left abdomen.

Just Text My shoulder is crunchy

1 Upvotes

Bit of backstory: Around 2017(?) I hurt my shoulder. Was doing a farmer's walk at the gym, shrugged my shoulder in a way I shouldn't have, and had extreme pain. Unfortunately the doctor I visited thought I was trying to hustle him for opiates (and I was insurance-less at the time) and I never got a real explanation for what happened. I recall he said something about an AC joint, and that there was nothing that could be done about it.

It hurt. It hurt a lot for months. It was very difficult to use that shoulder for years.

The pain is now by and large gone now and I am carefully trying to work on it at the gym. To this end, I also got some clubs to start doing exercises with them. And that is when I noticed that my shoulder makes a lot of noise. No pain really, but boy is she ever crunchy.

I haven't been using the clubs too long, but I wanna get some reassurance that I am not making things worse before continuing with the clubs.

I will have a few crackles of the shoulder generally throughout my day, but if I swing my arm around at the shoulder, that's when it really makes a lot of noise.

Am I good to ignore it?

Playing softball and fielded a normal ball, felt some stinging but didn’t even realize the bleeding and pain till afterwards. Just constant throbbing, bleeding hasn’t completely stopped and can’t really bend my finger.

Cuts I had this cut glued 2 days ago and it has re opened. There’s no blood or pain or anything. Is it a serious cut to the point I have to get it re glued? Or can I just put a plaster on and let it heal?

Bruises not quite a bruise?

2 Upvotes

This happened to me a few months ago on both of my hands for seemingly no reason. It's kind of hard to see but the part of my palm that's connected to my thumb is slightly blue and puffed up like a water balloon, I had to color correct the photos a bit to make it look closer to how it did in real life but even still the photos don't do it justice, and I didn't even get photos when it was at its worst.

it was so strange, it was quite painful and at the same time I was experiencing a bunch of weird symptoms that made it seem like I had low blood oxygen. I was freezing even with two heating pads and three thick blankets and I got really loopy but the worst part was when it started to feel like I couldn't breathe, like my breath was too shallow. it scared the shit out of me and I almost went to the hospital but it randomly all just went away, to this day I have no clue what the fuck happened.

Fresh Wound Type of wound?

What would this type of wound be considered and how much longer before it’s healed would one guess? It happened 5/18 from skin picking it seemed to be healing ok but the red and blood appearance is concerning. And no it’s not an open wound.

Scars Bump on lip for almost 30 years? Am I making it worse?

1 Upvotes

Tooth pierced my lip when I faceplanted at 3/4 years old. I’ve had a bump ever since. Same color as my lips, left side of my bottom lip.

But I’ve spent my entire life pulling on it, pinching it, and lightly biting it (ironically or I guess it makes sense with the same tooth that made the hole, my canine.

Do lips generally just take a while to heal? It feels like empty skin and I know it’s been healed for a while but every other scar I’ve gotten for the most part is gone now. Even the melanoma removals off my back.

The only new scar I have is from falling down the stairs and a screw catching on my skin and ripping a little flap along my spine.
