hi quick question

I just had my first shoulder subluxation, and it slid out when I rolled over in bed n went back in when I sat back up. Hurt like a mf, tingled a lil bit in the beginning, but it was ok after. Went to ER, they said nothing was broken and that’s it. Now, a week or so later, ofc I still have pain n stuff but lately when I move my arm inwards (towards my body) I feel a lil bit of pain and tingling in my wrist. My wrist overall just feels weird to use and lil painful/weak, and it’s devastating cuz that’s my drawing hand (I’m an art teacher for a living) I’m scared of permanent nerve damage in stuff, I had a follow up w my doc and she just referred me to physical therapy. What do I do in this scenario? They never mentioned an mri or ct scan. How long should I be off my shoulder/ not using it for after subluxation? (For ref I took Advil the first day only and went back to normal activity almost instantly, my lifestyle demanded it and now I’m thinking that may have been stupid) I feel like I didn’t take this seriously enough or some…

hi I’m female age 20, I just had a cystoscopy done to rule out bladder cancer (I don’t have it, I’m so relieved) and I figured I’d share my experience for anyone who’s gonna get one is is scared.
Lowkey doesn’t hurt at all, a bizarre feeling for sure, mine was done with a flexible scope. They clean you with iodine, insert the lidocaine gel, but I’ll be honest it didn’t rlly do much to numb me. Then, they insert, the insertion is the oddest part. Once they’re in it feels like there’s some pokes n pinches but no pain really. It’s really an odd feeling. Better than a Pap smear though fs. And then the doc took it out. Peeing cold water is weird fs, but then that’s pretty much it. It burned for the first hr or two after but now it just mildly burns when I urinate. Looking back, I’m mad I was so anxious 😭 anyways I know not everyone’s experience will be painless, maybe my doctor was just really gentle, but if you gotta get one and never had one, try not to get in ur head too much. It’s not too bad. 🙏

Hi have hEDS and I was in the shower today, blew my nose and bright yellow fluid came out of my nose (a little bit thick in some parts) but in general it was runny. Transparent too, like transparent highlighter yellow. Anyways, it only happened when I blew my nose, and when I blew everything out it eventually stopped. When I tilt my head nothing happens, there’s no odd taste or smell, nothing. I have had no injury or traumatic event happen, no headache, no anything. All I have is chronic sinus inflammation bcz of my allergies. Anyways, called an advice nurse line and they told me I was fine, but given the fact I have EDS, I’m just worried. Are csf leaks always clear? When are they yellow? I’m afraid of it being a leak and developing meningitis or something. Anyone been thru this?

hi I got into ucsb, which totally caught me off guard. I had completely mid grades in hs and no ap or honors and took two gap years and somehow got in for class of 2030. I deposited already but my mom’s been trying to convince me out of it for months. Its not that we cant afford it, between what im contributing and what she can contribute we’d b ok, she just thinks its a dumb waste of time and energy. And i suppose to an extent it can be, especially when cc is more efficient in many ways.

But.. i also think going away for university is an experience worth having. She helped my sister do it, but she continues to tell me she thinks itll be too hard for me and too risky. She’s convinced im gonna “tap out” so being home when that happens will be the “smarter” thing to do.

I feel so selfish wanting to go. For financial reasons, for emotional reasons. Is she right? Should i just go to cc? Im scared i wont get in again, my odds are 50/50.

hi I was just hoping someone could lend me some advice.

I got into Uc Santa Barbara and committed there full time. I rlly like the campus and environment. I’m an art major. However, I really have a passion for animation and ucsb has nothing to offer for me in regards to animation. I knew that when I committed, tried to make peace w it, but I know truly I’m
not ok w abandoning it. I finally found a place down in Santa Barbara and between that and my tuition I really will be living financially tight. I have a lot of physical disabilities so having no financial wiggle room is dangerous for me.

I’m considering attending Santa Barbara city college instead. Tuition will only cost me max 2k a yr and then I’ll be able to afford my living costs comfortably. On top of that, I can get my AA there in animation and experiment w it to see if I’m sure I wanna go into that field.

I feel like if I did that I’d be giving up on ucsb, and im ashamed bcz it’s genuinely such a good school and opportunity. I’m making the harsh assumption I won’t be able to go into animation w just the degree from ucsb.

Anyways, is it wrong to walk away from an opportunity like ucsb? I’m afraid if I go there and commit to four years away from animation I may never find my way back to it. I suppose if I do end up wanting to go there sbcc is a rly good filter school to ucsb. Idk, I just feel so bad 😭

hi my names Taylor! I’m looking for someone to share a double with near downtown sb. The rent is 995 a month utilities, free street parking, and laundry included! You’d share the room with me, the house is 6 girls and 2 bath (only girls) dm me if you’re interested!!!

um so I completed SLR and I was told I have to send documents of my drivers license, tax returns, vehicle registration, and voters registration. I don’t understand why I’m being asked this, I’m a California resident and I was born and raised here. Is this something they ask of everyone?

Edit: I figured it out. Apparently they have my residency status listed as unable to determine. Somehow, I messed up and they don’t think I’m a resident. SMH
