Facepunch Medical Thread V1 (I don't need a doctor it's not that bad)
2,432 replies, posted
Hello I currently have the flu so it could just be that but whenever I move my eyes left, right, up or down they feel strained and it does hurt my eyes. I don't wear glasses although I probably should, Does Facepunch think I should go get glasses or go to a doctor OR just wait till the flu is gone and see if they feel better?
Went a night without sleep, and was making myself breakfast a few minutes ago when I started feeling nauseous, then light headed. Then, I collapsed onto the floor of the dining room.
I'm fucking scared...

A coincidental question, but have you donated blood by any chance? A cousin of mine told me the exact same story. Could have also been a head rush. What are you feeling right now? If it happens again you should go to a doctor ASAP.

If he's lacking blood, I hear orange juice helps get blood level back up. It doesn't work as quick as DayZ meat but it does the trick.

Alrighty, so first off:

Could just be that you suddenly shifted your weight and your blood circulation was restored, rushed back into your legs. If you had a tumor you'd have had a seizure. If it happens again see a doctor. And read some of each of those articles. At worst there's something wrong with your heart, but don't jump to conclusions.
I remember when general discussion used to be full of "I shit blood/chafed my penis" threads.
Just to let everyone know, food poisoning sucks

God damn, when I had food poisoning I had to sit on the toilet with a bucket in front of me since everything was just coming out both ends for most of the day.

Is pooping once a week healthy?

If you think that's healthy, you're full of shit.
See what I did there?
My feet constantly have odd pains/soreness that are usually around the top of the arch of them
[QUOTE=Benstokes;36757483]How long has this been going on for, and was there any trauma? Also, how old are you?[/QUOTE]
Sorry about the late reply, but for atleast a good few months, I'm 17
[QUOTE=MightyMax;36955586]Okay, today i was taking a shit. It wasn't out of the ordinary, nothing painful or sharp. I go to wipe, and the entire fucking wad of TP is covered in blood, and so is my hand. It was fresh, it wasn't dark, it was bright red.
Am I going to die?[/QUOTE]
hey guys im shitting tons of blood should i go on FP or go to the hospital hmmmmm???????
So I think I have a brown recluse bite. It's been about 2 days since it happened. I didn't feel the bite, but now I have a dime sized purple spot that's slightly sunken with a red ring around it. I'd seen a recluse a few hours before it happened, so I'm fairly sure that's what it is. It doesn't really hurt, there's slight itching and irritation and from what I can gather it would have been hurting 4-8 hours after the bite if it was serious. It also seems a doctor can't do much unless there are complications, which rarely happens. Is asking FP the smart thing or should I go see a doctor?

See a motherfucking doctor if you think there is a remote possibility it was a brown recluse. Having your leg rot away is probably not what you want.

Of course you should go see a doctor, don't assume they can't do anything until they say they can't do anything.

I didn't assume, I used wikipedia/webmd. I'm still probably going to get a doctor to look at it though.

I'm suddenly hearing a bunch of people saying that they had these, are they common?
Im being serious here, so any help would be appriciated
So this morning while walking to the bus stop my left testicle started to hurt rather allot, like i had been punched there, as many guys will know this is extremely painful. Anyway an hour and a half later it still hurts, im struggling to walk and i cant shake off after going to the toilet without causing extreme pain. Anyone know what the cause of this could be? and why is is lasting so long
IT seems to have stopped, for now

Stopped reading there. GO TO A DOCTOR. This is what happens to a brown recluse bite if left untreated: [url=http://images.emedicinehealth.com/images/4453/4453-4474-10729-42553.jpg]NSFW obviously[/url]
As a side note, never Google Image search a brown recluse bite unless you have a very very tiny screen.

I'm almost positive it's [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varicocele"]this[/URL]. Perform a self exam, make sure you don't feel hard lumps, then see a doctor about it. It's usually completely harmless apart from the fact that it can cause male infertility.

So you can have sex without a condom, knowing you won't have a child in 9 months?
[QUOTE=Jarate Lover;37085936]So you can have sex without a condom, knowing you won't have a child in 9 months?[/QUOTE]
Well that [I]is[/I] what infertility is, the inability to fertilize a woman's egg. Go ahead and get an STI though, just don't think about it.
Unless the needle was rusty there is probably no relation. However chest pain is usually serious trouble.
[QUOTE=Eonart;37088114]I donated blood yesterday and now my chest has been hurting all day.
What did I do wrong?[/QUOTE]
Do you have any problems with blood or your heart? You may have a weaker heart that is trying harder than usual to make up for the loss of blood, causing you discomfort.
If it persists or physically prevents you from doing something important, see a doctor.
How painful is it? If its just a bit wait a few hours, if you are in the us wait a day, then see a doctor. Otherwise see a doctor now.

That is not how hearts work.
[QUOTE=SEKCobra;37088174]

No, not a normal one I would assume. If he had a particular condition with blood or heart though I wouldn't put it past it.
Then again, they wouldn't let him donate blood so it doesn't matter.
[QUOTE=Eonart;37088198]My blood is fine. I just remembered that it had started near midnight, two oranges and iron supplement made it go away but now its back and the oranges and iron aren't helping. It's as painful as if someone punched your gut.[/QUOTE]
If you have insurance id immediately see a doc.
Anyway For about a month now when I take a shit sometimes I go to wipe and nothing is there I'm serious really. It's kinda scary.
[QUOTE=Eonart;37088387]So the pain is gone before I could even get to see a doctor.
Should I still be concerned?[/QUOTE]
If it recurs, yes.
