Today, I went to the doctor to try and get answers about the numbness and tingling in my right leg. The Dr told me I was too fat for my pants, and I pinched a nerve. FML

Today, I got scared by my own leg fat. FML
Today, I was promptly told to lose weight today by my computer desk when it broke under the weight of my leg. FML
Today, after nerve pain and trouble sitting down, I found a lump in my ass crack. My doctor thought might be a tumour or cancer, so I was sent for scans. Apparently my whole life I’ve had an ingrown vestigial tail at the bottom of my spine hidden under the skin. FML
Today, my doctor told me to take off my pants so she could do a checkup. When I took them off, she gasped. When I asked what was wrong, she said she was expecting something else. She thought I was a dude. FML
Today, I went to a new doctor for an injury. Instead, the doctor only focused on my weight and tried to basically prescribe me anorexia. She tried to tell me that 750 calories a day was fine and brushed off my exercise regimen as, "Exercise is great, but you'll lose weight faster if there are no calories to burn." FML
Today, after not moving at work all day, I decided to be healthy and walk home. Now my thighs are numb from rubbing together. FML
Today, I went to the doctor to have my annual check-up. After the doctor made me waddle across the room towards him, hop on one foot for thirty seconds, and then lay on my stomach and do the worm, he finally said, "OK, that wasn't really part of the check-up. You're large on the hips. Lay off the Cheetos." FML
Today, the sciatic nerve in my left leg started twinging at random moments, leaving that leg painful and useless for a few seconds each time. Yesterday, I twisted my right knee and ankle falling over at work. Standing up is terrifying and I don't know which leg to limp on. FML
Today, I was crossing the street and did a full on faceplant. The reason? I pinched a nerve in my foot a couple of days ago, and now it’s completely useless. It’s like walking around with a dead foot. I think I’d be better off hopping on one. FML
Today, I proved my doctor wrong. I've been having difficulty breathing for 3 months. When it started, she said it was anxiety. I knew that wasn't the case, but I did what she said. A few weeks later, I told her during a follow-up that I thought it might be my phrenic nerve. She laughed. The physio confirmed it today. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thank you, your FML was submitted, and will appear the moderation soon!

i've actually read about something like that, and it doesnt necessarily mean you're fat/too big for your pants. anything tight on your leg, like leggings or skinny jeans or just tight/fitted jeans in general can pinch your nerve, causing the numbness and tingling you described. its rare, but becoming more and more common. hope that makes you feel better :)

I think that was a line from the extended dance version of "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred. I'm too chubby for my pants. . .

You took the words out of my mouth...

exactly! I'm 110 pounds and I had to bend down in skinny jeans (not extremely tight) to tie my nephews shoe and I pinched a nerve.
kelemen 2
Yeah but how tall are you? 110 is pretty big if your 5'...
arachnophile 13
You're seriously going to hound someone barely over 110 lbs? Are you missing the point of this entirely or looking for reasons to harass someone?

So you are, in essence, whining that you do NOT have a sever medical condition, like one that could possibly require life threatening surgery. I . just . don't . get . people . like . . you. No care, no vote.

That's not the point, Dumbo. The point is that the doctor is a quack and a jerk. I don't get people like you...
expen_dable 0
the doctor is a "quack" for telling the guy he is fat? what do you want the doctor to do, lie and say he's skinny or use a different term like "plump little ball of love?" I hate oversensitive fat people. Go drown yourself in a tub of Ben and Jerry's while talking about how skinny girls are bitches.
degco44 0
Ok, first of all, I'm a guy. Second of all, I'm skinny as a rail. Third, if I were a doctor, I wouldn't take it upon myself to be insulting to my patients or give them completely stupid diagnoses; I would be polite and honest, so I could keep my job. So if you think I'm oversensitive, maybe you're right. But your attempt to one-up me completely failed. Go sound stupid on some other post.

What? How is telling someone that they are too fat for their jeans "rude and a stupid diagnosis"? What are you gonna say? "Um, sir, your weight exceeds the amount that your jeans are designed to hold"? I mean jesus, talk about having a stick up your ass. There is nothing unprofessional about saying what the doctor said. Plus, the OP probably summarized what the doctor said anyway.
degco44 0
Being rude is considered unprofessional in most places, buddy. At least where I come from. And also, weight has nothing to do with your jeans being too tight. Pants don't support you, they cover you. Unless that was just the wrong choice of words. If I were the doctor, I would say, "Why don't you try a size larger jeans? Maybe they'll be more comfortable." that way, you're being polite and honest and the same time. Besides, who says he's too fat for his pants? (assuming the OP is a guy.) He said that he felt numbness in his leg. That doesn't necessarily mean that he's too big for his pants, which is why I said it was a stupid diagnosis. If you're gonna attempt to argue, at least make it sensible.

Actually, genius has a sensible argument. If the doc said "Try a bigger size" then the OP wouldn't get that it was the pants causing the problem, and would think the doctor was making an offhand comment... which would actually be more insulting because he would see that he was offhandedly telling him he was overweight, rather than saying that's his problem. And, again, this is a summarized account. We don't know how long the OP was there, or what the doctor did to get to the diagnosis, so you can't assume it's a "stupid diagnosis." We also don't know if the doctor actually suggested that might be the problem, rather than saying it was. After all, OP could be sensitive or one of those idiots who take suggests to mean that's the only possible thing it could be (you'd be surprised how many of those there are....)

When I said, "try a bigger size," what I meant was, he should say, "You have a pinched nerve. This is sometimes caused by wearing too tight of pants. Why don't you try a bigger size and see if it's better?" And by "stupid diagnosis", I meant that the diagnosis made the doctor sound stupid. I can only go off of what the OP wrote. Sorry that I didn't make myself clear on that. And also, it's perfectly normal to be sensitive about something like weight, so of course there would be a lot of "people like that." We're all sensitive about one thing or another, so we have to be careful what we say.
DameGreyWulf 0
Ah, okay. And by a lot of people like that, I meant a lot of people who would take a simple suggestion to be their only option. Obviously there are tons of sensitive people in the world, or else we wouldn't have those mushy love movies (not exactly the same kind of sensitivity, I know, but still)
degco44 0
Absolutely. I know where you're coming from. We ought to tell that to the jerks up there who are calling the OP a fatass and the like. That's just mean.

it doesn't mean that he/she is fat. it means that they bought the wrong size pants. go up a size. no big deal. and if you are overweight, eat healthier and exercise. you will feel better. 8]
