Random aches and illness thread

I mean, I thought this was a splinter at first but now I'm not sure. Looks like a blister or a burn, but I don't remember doing anything to it. Are there any doctors online?

I'm afraid my diagnosis is amputation

I’m nearly two months into the chest infection from Hell. Started with an underlying infection which caused an inner ear problem and vertigo symptoms. I very quickly developed a dry cough, which soon became a persistent hacking cough which I have had for about six weeks. It’s only now starting to clear up after a second lot of antibiotics.

One of the worst elements of it, and I’ve never had it before, has been laryngospasm. Look it up. To paraphrase, it’s when your vocal cords go into spasm and effectively stop you from breathing. A persistent cough causing irritation of the throat is one cause. It’s happened to me about three times, and it’s terrifying.

If I was a gambling man I’d say all this has been caused by a bout of COVID, but the three tests I did were all negative.

So... It's taken me a while to put two and two together on this one. But I have found a couple of other smaller blisters on my fingers, had a sore throat that felt like tonsillitis, and last week my little girl had hand, foot & mouth. So now I'm thinking I may have caught that. Luckily the symptoms are very minor in adults, but they sure are annoying!

You supposed to get your excuses in before a match not after

I suffer with insomnia. So whilst on holiday I was advised by someone that whilst going to sleep, lay in bed and say I love my body. Start at the toes and work your way up to your head.

Off I went.
I love my toes. I have a fungal right big toe nail.
I love my metatarsals. Who goes to bed loving there metatarsals. At that point I realised I would get no sleep. I realised I was the only person in the world loving there metatarsals.
Foolishly I continued
I love my ankles. I have a modified Bostrum repair on my left ankle where I snapped the ligament off.
I love my calves. Actually they are like Jack Grealish calves and are as tight as Doon form toons wallet.
I love my knees. Apart from an arthroscopy on the left they sound like a glacier calving every morning.
I love my bum, I have two tattoos up my cavity due to colonoscopy.
I love my pecker. Prostate used as a dart board 40 ish times looking for cancer.
I love my back, friends call me Quasimodo. 36 years of mining.
I love my arms, tennis elbow in the right arm
I love my hands, vibration white finger. 36 years of mining.
I love my neck, fractured C6 being a good guy trying to stop someone having the poo kicked out of them
I love my nose, broken at 4 yrs old trying to run under a swing.said swing twatted me on bridge of nose
I love my ears, tinnitus, ringing like the clappers as I type.
I love my eyes, I am boz eyed.

On a positive I have hair. It’s Grey.

Suffice to say this is my only comment on this thread and I still have insomnia.

I also think that’s why my natural drive has a fade. Bodys knackered.

I had a very similar thing in January not as bad as yours obviously
But didn’t realise it can affect your voice.
I havnt been able to sing for months ( no jokes thank you) and I start straining if I talk to much.

But I did have some breathing problems. My doc never mentioned this.

It’s something normally associated with acid reflux but anything which causes long term irritation of the throat can trigger it.

After some serious coughing fits I just found that my throat felt constricted to the point I literally could not draw breath. It lasts for about 20-30 seconds but is like choking. Once I knew how to mitigate it I was fine but the first couple of episodes frightened me to death!

I’ve got:

Dodgy right ankle
Arthritic knees
Painful finger joints
Torn rotator cuff in left shoulder
Impingement in right shoulder
Muddled brain

No probably a weak bladder

I wasn’t that bad just some catching my breath for no apparent reason.

The last one helps you forget the others.

My right knee has a tendency to click out and takes a bit of stretching to get it to pop back in.

Why does this thread remind me of the “four Yorkshiremen” Monty python sketch

I’d already been awake an hour!
