Should I take it out or..?

Should I take it out or..?

So ive had an irritation bump on my helix for about a month now after my hairstylist accidently snagged it. Ive tried the saline compresses and warm compressed but im a restless sleeper and honestly. Im just over it. HOWEVER. If itd be better I just stick it out and keep trying the saline solution and trying not to sleep on it, then I will. I dont want to risk infection but my ear is constantly sore. I know helixes are just awful to heal so thats why im willing to wait it out but like. Should I take it out or just try to heal it. Its not bad on the other side so I didnt include a pic

If i SHOULD leave it in and keep trying with saline, does anyone have advice to not end uo waking up on my side?

SORRY ABT THE AWFUL PICTURE IR WAS GENUINELY THE BEST OF LIKE. 20 ATTEMPTS AND I GAVE UP

I feel so stupid

I know im not the first or the last person to rant abt this, but ugh I feel so stupid. I got a D in both math 172 and Chem 151 and I just feel like an idiot. Im a fucking Chem major. How am I supposed to do this if I can't even pass trig or general Chem. Im trying to retake them over the summer but it doesnt make me feel better. I just feel like im too stupid to do this and im gonna fail. Life just sucks ass rn and idk how to make it feel better

I (19) cant take it anymore. My body hurts all the time. Specifically my shoulders, back, hips and knees. I cant use mobility aids for my hips/back bc crutches can fuck up your shoulders. The only things ive found for shoulders are braces but the one I tried getting didnt work. I went to PT, I got MRIs, ive tried exercises and it helped but PT is expensive, the mri didnt show anything that can be surgically fixed (I got told I have "loose joint sockets" which apparently isnt even a proper term) and the exercises only help for so long

It hurts to lie down. My joints ache. Im a host at a restaurant so I cant sit while working and every other job in my town I could get would both pay less and id still be standing. Im just tired. The only thing that helps till I can get to sleep is a heating pad and I cant use that all the time. I just want solutions. Even short term ones atp.

TLDR please. What helps you. I cant use mobility aids (fucked shoulders, fucked hips and knees) and im a broke college student. Im not asking if it'll get better bc atp its been getting progressively worse for four years. I just want to know if it gets manageable
