Don't get high on your own supply

Today, I saw my doc about the painful swelling I've had in my arm all week. He seemed totally out of it, and ended up telling me it's all in my head, despite the swelling. When I respectfully suggested it might be a blood issue, he just said, "Nah". FML

Seems like someone has been writing off his own prescriptions.

Sounds a lot like some of my doctors. One of my visits I was told I had sprained a muscle and had to visit three more times for them to give me an x-ray. Turned out I had a collapsed lung. Another time I was told the pain and swelling in my testicles were in my head and it took for them to grow to the size of grapefruits before he would admit something was wrong.

Cool story bro, seriously. Both of those things sound extremely painful.

Was it epididymitis, by any chance? If so, D:. Hope you got that sorted out!

Yepp, grapefruits. I never thought it possible until that day. Ended up going in for surgery for intermittent torsion, had another surgery for a varicocele, and may be going in soon for another. It's a wonder that the things still work. For awhile I could even say I had black balls as they were bruised horribly. As for the lung it has collapsed three times since. This has just not been my year.

Sometimes, when certain ideas get in my head, I get painful swelling. It's just not in my arm ;)

It's also in your fingers, right?

Dr.House usually likes a puzzle. Next time projectile vomit at him.

Yeah I think it would be a good idea to switch docs, and maybe turn this one in? Before he says it's nothing to someone who has cancer or writes out a wrong prescription

OP, you should really get that looked at by another doctor. I got some swelling on my leg once, and went to the family doctor, it turns out I had gotten bit by a spider and had an allergic reaction. Maybe it's the same for you, who knows? Of course, it could also be a mosquito too... My point is, just put some alcohol on it to get it clean and sterile, then have a nap to help your body heal. If that doesn't help at all, (like it helped me) find a different doctor, and get it looked at by a professional, not a wannabee. Best of luck, Vivian Carlson

I am really used to writing letters, and so I sign my name out of habit. Sorry if it unnerves you. : ' (

Too much "one-armed" masturbation. You gotta switch arms buddy, you'll wind up looking like Popeye on one side and Olive Oyl on the other. Maybe your doctor seemed out of it was he was shocked by your hairy knuckles and thick glasses?

Some doctors will just say anything to et you out of their office and have your money. That's what happen with my lil bro when we found out he had cancer.
