OT Kienbock's Disease - I was just diagnosed with it yesterday. Does anyone have any experience with it?

Well hell. - Turns out I have Kienbock's disease. I'm one of the 20% that has no known cause. I'm in a cast for four weeks, and if that doesn't work, the next step is surgery. I googled it a...

Groin pull - I did my second 5k this weekend. I ran a lot (for me) and cut four minutes off my previous time. Now I can barely walk, it hurts so bad to sit on the toilet, and it hurts to get up...

Second 5k! - I beat my previous time by four minutes! I have frozen peas all over my body and I shuffle like a 90-year-old, but I did it!

I'm in the tub - Just noticed that neither of my hips are touching the sides! Also wore a men's XL shirt to the Heart Walk yesterday and it fit!

Knee pain, search didn't help. - My knee hurts. I can hear and feel it crunching. My pcp's nurse called and said the X-rays were negative. I've made an appointment to see an orthopedist on Tuesday, but I'm bummed ...

Weekly vitamin storage - I fill up my vitamin container on Sundays. It has four compartments for each day. This will be the first time I'll be using calcium citrate pills (I ran out of chews that I kept in...

Orthostatic hypotension and twitching - I get orthostatic hypotension when I drink less than 80 oz per day. I'm surprised that I had it this morning since I had over 90 oz yesterday. My question is does anyone twitch...

Arms and legs - Will you post pictures of your arms and legs? My upper arms and thighs are way bigger than my forearms and lower legs. I'm wondering what I'm going to look like once I lose the wei...

5k - I did it! - Finished my first 5k! It wasn't as hard as I was afraid it would be. I even ran for 30 seconds three times! That was hard, but I did it!

Walking my first 5k tomorrow - Any tips? I'm taking my own water so I'll have that in addition to the water stations.

Feeling a bit left out - Department party today. I can have cheese and cheese. One kind person made deviled eggs that I *could* eat, but I can't stand boiled eggs. Everyone was standing around, enjoying...

I'm wearing smaller underwear! - Woohoo! Except they stick up 2 inches above my pants.

Papaya enzyme made me puke - I ate rotisserie chicken like a pre-op last night. I had a little skin, chewed it really well. Then I devoured the chicken. I ate too much, too quickly, and didn't chew enough. ...
