i just want a rimmy

I want my sciatic pain to be cured.

There really isn't a cure other than go deep on pain meds and eventually OD. I thought about trying to become a M.D. so I could spend my life researching how to fix it, but I never have any energy so that will not happen. I also don't have enough money to just pay some researchers to do it for me.

Hi, MD here
we don't really do that kind of research. Basic sciences are left to the PhD's, and they're working hard at it (publish or perish). Have you seen a chronic pain specialist?

A shorter commute

Moving out makes me worry if one of my parents will slip in the shower and die or some shit. Anxiety.

I just want to be happy, as happy as the kids in that movie, that shit brings back memories

Nothing, so I'm fucked

World Peace

I think my problem is that I don't know

I want to be happy.

Not sure what will bring me happiness, but I am searching for it.
I am considering just going traveling for a while and maybe crash in some southeast asian country or japan.

Mainly for how different the culture is. Might bring me some perspective or something, I dunno.

>Have you seen a chronic pain specialist?
Yeah, but it has been a couple of years. First 3 years I saw dozens of doctors in all sorts of specialities and tried all sorts of therapies/drugs/surgeries. Only reduced pain temporarily, never got rid of it entirely.

Last couple of years I've given up because its depressing to keep going to doctors and nothing working. Probably should try another one again.

As far as research, I would think one would need a M.D. or O.D. to understand neurology in a clinical setting. I suppose pharma research could be done to try and create a better nerve pain chemical. The only option that has ever done much was opiates, but that is a poor solution that leads to other problems.

A reason to live.
Anxiety and depression.

there was a TED talk where one dude defined happiness as belonging skill and mastery

there's a start

i've been chasing my own eye

>So what do you want

5 parts vindication. 2 parts revenge.

>Why don't you have it yet?

I've been working on it. Still a long ways to go, but it's what gets me out of bed every morning so there's that.

I just want to remind you all that you get one life. If you're lucky you get about 80 years, and it goes fast. Like realized the rollercoaster ride is over already.

The universe is very big and won't take notice of how you spend your one life.

Don't waste your time trying to impress others. In the end it's just what you think they think of you. It's only what you think.

Have fun.

I mean I'm all about developing new skills, learning new stuff and generally striving to become better at the things I already have learned.

I've always wanted to learn blacksmithing so I am considering learning that and trying to improve upon it.

Very true.
I stopped caring about others perception of me when I was 13 years old. I've just been trying to find what makes me happy.

Not sure what exactly you tried but sorry to hear it's been a rough ride. If you haven't been to an academic hospital yet, that may be the best next place to give a try (seeing as chronic pain specialists are the whiz kids and the clinical professors know the literature inside and out). That or go nuclear and head to Mayo.

here's a 2007 review from the BMJ on sciatica
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1895638/

I'm sure you've heard some of the stuff they talk about in there

Hey there, come talk to a doc and lets get shit sorted out so things can get back to normal, or as close as we can get it

welders make pretty good money so I hear, for what that's worth. kinda relevant and you'll get tools that you might get some bonus use out of. I know you said nothing about a job but whatever

I want to fuck Emma Watson in front of her cute little brother

Then I'd fuck him while she pees in his face and calls him a little faggot. And he has to wear his sister's Hogwarts uniform and I'd call him Hermione while I fucked him. So that's not even gay is it.

I'd also like to tie him in a chair and torture his penis for hours while his sister makes out with him. No homo.

money will talk to someone

a noose, because rope costs money I don't have

So what you're saying is "meme like you've never meme'd before"? Mastubate mentally (and sometimes physically) to your own wit? I do that already.

I had a class once where we likened the value of a lifetime of achievement and hard work as an empty container that was to be filled with potatoes; big ones representing tough and rewarding things, and little ones as small yet satisfying things. In the end we decided that the optimal way to fill it was to put all the big potatoes in first, followed by the little potatoes to fill in the gaps.

I share this to say that there's a lot of things you can do with your time, and all you need to do is decide what is important to you and prioritize such that when your life comes to an end, whether it's tomorrow or in 60 years, you've maximized your potential and done all the things you wanted to do. Almost like a bucket list. but with potatoes.

Thanks. Read a few paragraphs and this seems like good material for me to go over.

There is a really good academic hospital system nearby that I thought of trying. Right now I don't have neurosurgeon as I moved away from where I was originally diagnosed. Just been seeing my primary care doctor occasionally. This problem is clearly out of his scope to deal with so the its just festering since I've kinda given up.

Think its best to just call the neurology department and try and get an appointment, or do I need a referral from my primary care? In the past the pain was so bad and obvious that my primary doctor took care of all the arrangements for me, but my new doctor isn't quite as good/organized.

thanks for taking the time to help though, I appreciate it because every office I go into wants to get me in and out as fast and lazily as possible. I feel I could get more progress if I had a team of doctors sitting down discussing it for an hour, but that will never happen.

I'm unsure what I want, so I have nothing, except knowledge.

Is this an expression? Maybe I'm missing something

whatever happened just remember to be careful what you wish for...plan it out thoroughly and always consider the worst case scenario for if it happens, you'll have planned for it

this girl who is friends with my ex-gf and used to be all on my shit during our relationship

When I dumped the ex-gf the friend fucked off and now hates me

what the Fuck

Why don't jew hab eet jet?

...

You might have to get a primary care referral but I'd try contacting their scheduling office directly first to see if you can get an appointment. Worst case scenario you get the referral later

Yeah from my experiences in medical school you won't get doctors sitting around talking about you for an hour unless you're the case being discussed in tumor board.

Unfortunately many of the changes to primary care have been pushed on the doctors as medicare/medicaid reimbursement penalties if they don't have a revolving door of patients (which makes sense from a population standpoint because there's too many people and not enough doctors). In your case and many others it's unfortunate because you need more attention and it's not a routine checkup or the vastly more typical lower back pain.

I'm not sure how much this could help in your case but physical therapy might be worth trying too; not necessarily paying for several appointments but having one or few quality appointments where they teach simple exercises to strengthen muscle groups. There's also the possibility that this could hurt your sciatica too since there's piriformis syndrome, where the muscle body (piriformis muscle) presses on the sciatic nerve

they all fuckin talk to each other man, it's unfortunate but luckily for you, my fellow user, there are millions of other women out there. You just have to accept that bitches be bitches

I just thought she was different. I guess that's what's making me upset. Bitches be bitches.

Thanks for all the info.

I know that there is at least slight piriformis syndrome because on the worst days I can feel the nerve radiating pain all the way from lumbar and wrapping down to the toes. Usually I only feel the pain below the knee, so I know piriformis excersizes will help only sometimes. That does seem like a good idea to try PT again. Its been a few years and medicine advances very fast so there may be new techniques that can at least help a bit.

From the article you posted, I have some resemblence to 'A patient's perspective (A)'. That makes me feel better knowing that some doctors/researchers are at least aware that some of us have tried all this stuff and still suffer. Means there is someone trying to figure it out.

Nice

I want this girl at my work who is my superior. She currently been with her boyfriend for years but she has been sleeping with me for the past few months. Unfortunately her boyfriend and I started an argument recently, which caused the boyfriend to tell the girl that she isn't aloud to speak to me. She is clearly unhappy but is too scared to leave him. I have to sneak talking to her at work due to other coworkers being spies for the boyfriend. She told me thinks about me sexually and emotionally. I'm trying to play the waiting game but I'm not sure if its working.

We want you to feel better. Maybe getting rid of the pain isn't entirely possible, but if that's true then at least we can try to help get better control of the symptoms.

There are areas of basic science and clinical research that are expanding so quickly that various things are having a hard time keeping up. To stay informed and/or learn about new developments for things outside of my scope of practice, I use Google Scholar to find literature, and even if I only have access to abstracts, it's better than trying to sift through non-peer reviewed nonsense online vs legitimate research.

Good luck! Keep your chin up and go with your gut feeling

>isn't allowed to speak to you
>you've been fucking her

Sounds like she needs to make a choice. I mean really how much further can you get into her life than sleeping with her a bunch of times...don't tell HR. Also, consider the following:
People who attempt suicide once are much more likely to attempt again
Same is true for cheating
