I got labs and MRI results back. My lower back is super screwed up and I have high cholesterol and triglycerides. Neither of those things is a surprise, but my back is actually worse than I thought. I'm starting to get arthritis and I have a low grade spondylolisthesis.

Noooo

petition to get MZ into an experimental robo-spine replacement program

[MaximumZero]

I am all aboard the robo spine train. I want to be usb enabled. Wolfeyez remains skeptical.

[TheBiggerFish]

Just remember to have an airgap between your spine and the Internet...

[KingofstarrySkies]

I also wish for a spine replacement after today's fresh bout of back pains. Advil is not a permanent solution and should not be treated as such.

[MaximumZero]

Advil (ibuprofen) is largely an anti swelling measure. You can take it in combination with Tylenol (acetaminophen) which is a mild pain reliever.

PAINKILLERS DONT ERASE THE PROBLEm ;-;

I'm again quite ill. Going to hospital AGAIN (third time in past three months) due to really simple stuff that should have been fixed months ago, I have figured out that I am literally completly alone and I have nobody to talk to, stuff hurts, and in general life sucks.

[Frumple]

... only sometimes. Other times treating the symptoms but not the cause can make the cause worse, or induce new problems. Or cost so much it renders affording a fix for the cause non-viable. So... no. Talk to doctor before any sort of long-term/consistent medication regimen, even if it's over the counter stuff. There's a reason most OtC meds say to seek a doc after a certain amount of regular use.

I hope you get out of hospital and make a remarkably speedy recovery. And while it's not the same as talking to someone you know face to face, if you ever want to talk about anything I'm happy to chat.

I'm feeling even worse today than I have been, if that makes sense. I was punching myself for being stupid today which is something I only do when I'm pretty shit. I should probably talk to someone about all this but my previous experiences with therapists have been... Less than extraordinary.

I am also willing to talk with you.

Don't trust the therapists, they're all the same. And evil.

I'm like wholly consisted of snark, cynicism, and sarcasm at this point.

You have an extra "the" in there, Cin
