Hello!

I‘m getting tested for ureaplasma and BV on Friday after some odd vaginal odor. Long story short, I think this might be the answer to my chronic vaginal issues over the years. Chronic yeast infections, etc.

I’m going to my PCP because my gynecologist didn’t have anything until October. I am seeing one of their nurse practitioners for the testing as that is who was available the soonest.

I intend on bringing the specific tests I want done and asking that my results be reviewed by my normal doctor and that he contact me before medication is prescribed.

1. How do I ensure I get a long enough course of treatment? If they prescribe 7 days of doxycycline do I insist on 14? If there’s no zithro included, do I insist on that or supplement my own with a site like Starfish?

I am recently married, but my husband and I have been together a total of ten years.

2. If I am positive, how do I go about getting adequate treatment for my husband? Do we ask his doctor? We do not go to the same PCP as his job has a clinic.

Any advice is appreciated. If I am positive like I anticipate I will be, explaining all of this to my husband will be stressful. Not because of any fear of infidelity, but just because I’m sure he’s never heard of it.

Thank you!

I went to see Dr. Joel Wells in McKinney yesterday and he told me what I already suspected—I have bilateral hip dysplasia with a torn labrum on the right.

I liked him, he was very thorough and told me that he wasn’t there to sell me on surgery and that he would be there for me no matter what I decided.

I have seen great reviews for him, but most of them have been regarding THR.

Has anyone here had their PAO done by Dr. Wells?

I am also looking into getting a second opinion from Dr. Mansour in Houston. Thats a drive for me, but I see so many people who highly regard him for PAO specifically.

Thank you for your help!

Hi! I just had a quick question about strengthening exercises.

Disgnosed torn right hip labrum with T3 MRI a few months ago. I’ve been in PT about seven weeks. I’m seeing a hip preservation specialist in July.

I cancelled my barre membership because it caused my hip to flare and started going to my community recreation center to do the elliptical and upper body exercises in addition to PT.

I asked my PT if I could do lower body machines at the gym, and she said if it doesn’t cause pain it’s probably safe to do, but to be careful and not overdo it.

Today I tried the hip adduction/abduction machine because we’ve been strengthening both in PT. I did only about 30-40 pounds and a small ROM. It was challenging, but not painful.

I’m not in any pain post workout (or any more than usual), but then I read that these machines aren’t recommended with hip labrum tear.

I’m thinking I shouldn’t risk it and just stick to upper body and PT exercises. is there anyone who uses these machines for strengthening or do you avoid them?

Doctors, our veterinarian, our exterminator, literally everyone who is supposed to know what they’re doing. I continue to doubt and doubt and doubt and try to figure things out on my own because, surely, it’s not over/it can’t be that easy/this is the exception, etc.

Latest example is that despite our dog being on a flea preventative sincere we got him, I have found a few fleas on him over the last couple of weeks. No infestation, just a few fleas.

We took the dog to the groomer for a flea bath, gave him a new preventative that the vet suggested, called our exterminator to come treat the yard because I believe that’s where he’s picking them up. Our landlord agreed to treat the yard regularly for now on.

We vacuum multiple times a week and have been washing all bedding/toys. For just a few fleas, this could be seen as extreme.

And that’s still not enough for me. In my head, I’m thinking, “There must be more I should do. It’s only going to get worse if you don’t act now.”

The exterminator can’t come until the rain goes away, and it’s supposed to rain all week. I can’t help but try and think of temporary things I can do in the meantime that we’re not already doing.

I do this all the time. I drive myself absolutely insane about problems that aren’t really even problems yet, and may not ever be. I just can’t wait and see. I can’t trust what other people tell me. And not just about this, about everything.

It’s ruining my life.

tldr; No matter how many reassurances I get from experts, it’s not enough. Even if I do everything in my power that I can do in the moment about an issue, I can’t rest until it’s completely resolved.

Hi, everyone!

My right hip labrum tear was diagnosed via T3 MRI about 3 or 4 weeks ago. I’m waiting to see a hip preservation specialist (I just started a new job and have to wait for my insurance coverage to start). I don’t have a confirmed dysplasia diagnosis, but it looks likely based on my x-rays. I am hypermobile, no EDS that I’m aware of.

I’m currently in PT and I think it’s going well. I’ve complained to my PT about more of my pain being in the surrounding muscles. One super annoying place I get pain in my low abs on the right side, like below my belly button and above the pubis.

I had an ultrasound done when I initially had pain there and they didn’t find anything, so my PT thinks it’s compensatory pain. I feel it most when going to sit down/stand up.

Does anyone else have this? It’s currently the most annoying/painful area for me. It’s fine in the morning but ramps up throughout the day. Better when laying down.

Hi! I’m a speech therapist who works with children who have autism. I am not Muslim, but I found my way to this sub after doing some research about Islam.

I have a new speech kiddo who is around 4 years old, pretty non-verbal. She and her family are Muslim and it states in her file that she is not to play with toys that make music. Singing and clapping is okay.

I want to honor her parents’ wishes and respect their culture, but it’s hard to keep her from the toys that make music when so. many. do. Kids’ toys light up and make music. And those are the ones she tends to gravitate towards, of course.

And as with some kiddos who are on the spectrum, we don’t do our best listening and just go and grab whatever the minute she enters the room.

I also have seen her engage with me more with the musical toys; making eye contact, smiling, etc. That’s a big deal for her, because she typically does not engage others/respond to her name/play with peers. I don’t want to disrespect anyone‘s religion, but as a therapist whose goal is meaningful communication and connection I feel sort of stuck.

I’m just curious to get some perspective on this from people who are more familiar with Islam than I am.
