Today, I went to the pharmacy and asked the very attractive pharmacist what to do about the terrible itching under my cast. She told me to "be a man and deal with it." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a side effect of my new medicine is uncontrollable itching. To “help”, my boyfriend gave me itching powder. When I got mad, he claimed he thought itching powder was used to combat itching. What? FML
Today, my "friend" put itching powder in my cast while I was sleeping. FML
Today, my patient had her call bell on. When I went to see what she needed, she replied that she was very itchy and could not reach to scratch the itch. I basically got called in to scratch my patient's crotch. FML
Today, I sliced my arm open on the weekend, patched it with a fabric bandaid. Had an allergic reaction to the bandaid, arm now swollen, blistering and keeping-me-awake itchy. Pharmacist's advice? "Oooh, that looks bad. Better put a bandaid on that." FML
Today, my roommate complained about his penis being smelly and itchy. It's been a week. Yesterday he woke me up in the middle of the night, asking if I had some kind of Vaseline or moisturizer he could use for the itching. He still refuses to go to the doctor. FML
Today, I was getting ready for a very unpleasant doctor's appointment. I got out of the shower and used a new body spray all over my torso and arms. Turns out I'm allergic to it and now my skin is on fire, so now I get to go to an already uncomfortable appointment even more uncomfortable than I'd planned. FML
Today, I had a lady come up to me in a store just to tell me how bad my acne was and what remedies I should use. I got so embarrassed, all I could say was, "OK" and, "Thank you" until she left me alone. FML
Today, I was chatting to a girl in the chemist's and was about to ask her to go for coffee when the chemist came out of the back room and asked me loudly if the rash was only on my genitals or if it had spread further. FYI the chemist is my uncle and he was joking. I didn’t end up asking her out. FML
Today, it was my first day working as a pharmacist. I quickly discovered that customers not only think that it makes me qualified to offer free medical advice, but they also have no qualms about showing me their various lumps, bumps, and vaginal leakages. FML
Today, I finally forced my husband to go to the doctor's for his chronically itchy arsehole, which he scratches in his sleep, and ends up bleeding all over the sheets. Turns out it’s a fungal infection. Now he has to apply a cream twice a day, which isn’t fun to watch when he does it in the bedroom. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

DON'T push objects down inside a cast to scratch an itchy spot. This activity has a high risk of damaging the skin, a blistered area or a surgical wound and causing an infection.

Very unprofessional for her to say that. Although there is not much you can do about the itch (though you can always try using something to scratch the itchy spot), she shouldn't have said what she said. I know how you feel since I had a cast on my leg before T_T

When I had a cast, the doctor suggested Castblast. You should look into it. =)

Ahh, sry bud. Use chopsticks (like the hella long ones) and there is this thing called a cast scratcher that will help. Trust me I've tried everything. Here's the link: http://castscratcher.com/. Best of luck!

what the hell do you expect the pharmacist to do about it? YDI. Next time go call your momma

My daughter had two broken arms in one summer a few years ago. Provided this is a "simple" broken arm, no surgery site or abrasions underneath the cast, sprinkle cornstarch baby powder into it, don't go crazy with it though. Also, after bathing or becoming sweaty be sure to use a blow dryer to eliminate wetness. Both of these things will also help with the smell, casts can get pretty stinky.

If she said "be a man" you should tell her manager she was rude to you, which should get her fired.

It sounds like you hit on her. Why did you do that? And what did you expect the pharmacist to tell you about your cast? She didn't set it and it's not medicine. And what does her being very attractive have to do with anything?
