Common symptoms after a Kentucky football season

Trepanation, it's the only way out.

Good luck

Common symptoms after a Kentucky football season

Kentucky plays football? Really?

Goes to look.....






























:biggrin:

 

[Engineer]

40 minutes of driving, 10 minutes of 1st registration, 10 minutes of 2nd registration, 15 minutes of wait and 2 minutes to do the actual scan!

Waiting now for results. Don't know how long.

 

[Gerle]

Did you get any kind of quick results?

 

[SheHateMe]

You're Pregnant.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Hmm. Thinking sinus.

Do you have any allergies that you know of?

 

[Engineer]

Hmm. Thinking sinus.

Do you have any allergies that you know of?

No allergies. The neurologist office called back and said my sinuses were screwed up but they said it was the left side and my headache and pressure is nearly 100% right side (could they have read it backwards?). I asked if they were sure and they said yes, left side. Said for me to contact my primary doctor and ask for treatment (anti-inflammatory and antibiotics). I called the primary doctor yesterday and asked the nurse if I needed to come in since I had been seen 2 times in 2 weeks (about 1:30 pm). They said that they would call back but did not. I'll call again on Monday.

Now off to do the nasal rinse (yuck) again.

no CT copy was given to you? Always get your scan on media before leaving.

 

[RollWave]

Also tell me more about your vision changes. Duration, quality, laterality, etc

 

[olds]

...They said that they would call back but did not....

Of course not, they feel fine.

Didn't know that I could do that. Never had one before Friday.

My vision was blurry on one side (right). It feels like pressure behind the eye. The same thing happened about a year ago but quit after about a week. It's actually much lower pressure and less blurry (if at all) right now and the headache is much, much lower (occasional throb) than it was two days ago (about the worst day during this 4 week adventure).

I am not seeing double and my peripheral vision seems OK (Neurologist did several vision type of tests on me including counting objects to the sides while looking straight ahead).

I wonder if I can call back and get a copy of the CT scan?

 

[OlafSicky]

When you get the CT scan post it here we can pick up things the Neurologist missed.

If you dont see an eye doc now might be a decent time to get a dilated exam from an Ophthalmologist (not an optom)...should get one every other year at least if you dont have and comorbidities like diabetes (in which case you need yearly exams at least).

As far as the CDs, yeah they can get you that. It'll run off the disc and will require a windows computer...and the software is usually piss poor but you can view it yourself which is nice.

 

[eits]

try a chiropractor. you probably have a really tight muscle impinging the greater occipital nerve and c1 is out of place.

 

[Benthere]

I also have a pain in my right eye but it's caused by sitting in front of this dam computer to long and causing eye strain. My eyes are way out of wack. I can see up close with the left eye and far away with the right. I don't have headaches except when I quit drinking. As far memory loss,I've always had CRAFT(can't remember a f**king thing)
I've also heard that masterbation can cause eye problems,Don't know if that's true or not.

Oh crap!

Just kidding....too old and too married!

I'd work this out with allopathic physicians before moving on to alternative medicine...

 

[PlasmaBomb]

It's undoubtedly due to the outsouricng of manufacturing jobs

Seriously though I hope you're ok. I would suspect an MRI is in your future

or possibly a CT scan...

 

[sourn]

NO NO NO.

What that problem is that your brain has moved closer to your forehead, and has caused pressure to those areas.

But no worries there is a simple fix. You simply need to run head first into a metal door at a full sprint to realign your brain. Sure it'll hurt at first, but it's a quick and easy method and the pain will disappear.

HEY!
You momos need to stop hating on Chiros, most especially if you have NEVER even been to one!

Before I got out of the Army, I started suffering debilitating headaches, emanating from the back of my head. Flight Surgeons never X-rayed me, just gave me some muscle relaxers, said it stemmed from having my head bent down watching the instruments so much and "having my head on a swivel", said it was a common malady with Airmen.
Civilian Docs, same thing, just told me to take NSAIDS, often prescribing some mild painkillers, but inevitably I would get a killer headache 1-2 times a week for ~20 years.

(Ex)Wife started seeing a Chiro for a disabling misaligned vertebra, fixed her right up on the first visit.
Meanwhile, she mentioned my headaches. He had her tell me to come in, let him check me out, and if he could not fix me, he would not charge me anything.
I went, he did X-rays, my neck was 100% misaligned! (Curved far forward where it should be curved slightly back).
It took 6 weeks and I was miserable with a stiff neck, but after he got my neck re-aligned (with X-ray proof of such), the headaches stopped.
Still have not had even one of those headaches since! (Almost 20 years, now), & I have probably had only 5-6 "regular headaches" since.

But that's not all the story, I had been having some horrible constipation (like 1-2 BMs a week!), his X-rays showed misalignment in the vertebra surrounding the nerves that control the bowels, he worked on that also, been regular ever since!

You see, your spine, and the nerves from the spine, play an integral part in how your various limbs, organs, etc. work.
Spinal misalignment causes many, many problems which can be taken care of with Chiropractic therapy (proper spinal alignment).
They can also (usually) be taken care of with Traditional medicines, therapies, & surgeries, but why go to the trouble & expense when a Chiropractor can fix these things inexpensively, usually in the afternoons so you don't even have to miss work!

In other words, don't knock it until you try it!

I'm lucky to have found a good Chiropractor here, though I don't see him often enough!

Is your eye red? Might be a good idea to see an eye doctor to make sure it isn't something with your right eye.

Eye isn't red but I might do that after the regular MD treatment (if there is another).

Even my patients who are/were chiropractors or have children that are tell me what a crock MOST of them are and that its rare to find someone that actually helps people. But hey if it works for you who am I to say anything. I never dissuade patients from going but I never encourage it. Mostly because I've seen things like the below articles when I was a medical student:
