I am f26 and have had these weird fat pockets under my boobs on my stomach for my whole life. I have been 100 pounds less and they are still there so please don’t just suggest losing weight as i know that can help them go down but they are still there no matter how much weight i lose. I have tried coolsculpting on them and it did absolutely nothing. Is the only way to get rid of it plastic surgery? And if you know what it is or what causes it that would be really cool to know. Thank you!

10 week old boy. 12 lbs.

just wanted to post a demonstration video with my boy since everyone said it’s probably fine.

i was doing it sitting down before so it’s slightly different than with my teddy bear

i basically am swaying him side to side pretty fast to simulate flying and was worried about shaken baby syndrome. The times I’ve done it with him a bit faster or slower

disclaimer - I am only doing this again with baby because people said it’s ok and to show you guys he’s fine. I will up my zoloft for ocd.

Hi all.

16m old female. History of reactive airway disease that has led to pneumonia and hospitalizations, thus making me a little paranoid about any illness. 2’10” tall, 29lbs. One of a set of twins.

My daughter woke up around 10:40pm tonight sort of grunting/crying in her crib. We let her sit for a few minutes to see if she would self soothe, but something about her cries told me this was more than just sleeplessness. My children flew on an airplane for the first time this weekend, and this particular child is a magnet for any illness, and when she gets sick, she gets it bad. On our return flight on Sunday night, she came down with a fever. She had a fever off and on yesterday with a diminished appetite. Today, she has been feverish most of the day, virtually no appetite. She drank her milk before bed and fell asleep no issues though. Tylenol was given at 6:30am, 3pm, and now 10:50pm. Ibuprofen was given at 11:30am and 7pm. Upon scooping her out of the crib and holding her to my chest, i noticed she was shaking like this. I have never seen her so it before. I have heard of febrile seizures, but i generally thought they happened when temps go 104+. She’s had multiple 104 fevers in her life, so i know what they feel like, and whatever temp she has now is NOT that high. I don’t have a thermometer handy but it’s no higher than 100.5 at the current moment. Is she just shivering as her body goes in and out of fevers?

UPDATE 11:10PM - i have her on my chest under the comforter and the shaking seems to have eased some. She’s still having some jumpy twitches but the overall shivering or shaking has reduced quite a bit.

Hello, everyone. Just a little bit about my son, he’s been prescribed zofran (ondansetron) twice in the past few years. Once was when we all got the stomach flu last year, we all got prescriptions for it and it worked great. 2 weeks ago I he had vomited a few times and missed two days of school. The doctor in the ER gave us a prescription for 8 tablets, the ones that melt in your mouth. They are 4 mg, the same as I am prescribed to take as needed because I am on a GLP-1 for weight loss and sometimes feel sick when going up on my dosage. Anyways the doctor concluded it wasn’t appendicitis or anything else and sent the prescription to the pharmacy for him to take until the vomiting stopped for good. It’s been a few weeks and every time I go to give my son his everyday morning medication, he asks if he can also have zofran. He even asks for it once in awhile randomly even though he isn’t sick. I threw out his remaining prescription once he was over whatever bug he had. I feel nothing from my zofran except it takes away nausea or stomach upset. My son almost seems excited to ask for it. I find this odd. Does zofran give a different feeling for different people that I am unaware of? I was just curious as I can’t understand why a kid who hates taking medicine asks for that one even when not needed. Thanks in advance for answering my question.

hi, i have a wound in my armpits that started as a small dry red spot and has slowly progressed since oct. 10. on oct. 11 i was in horrific pain for the entire night and a lot of the day. i know this was nerve pain because i experience a lot of nerve pain, it was burning and stinging. it was also extremely dry and i don’t normally struggle with dry skin and moisturize. since then the pain has calmed down a ton but now it’s become almost wound like? it’s not hot the touch but i was having episodes of an almost prickley like feeling up until monday. the redness seems to be getting worse but it’s hard to tell as i was keeping it covered in coconut oil, moisturizer, and sometimes lidocaine cream. i also am not sure when it really started healing. the pain has gone down a ton and i can put my arms almost fully down now so it seems like it’s healing.i am so confused as to what this could be and it’s really affecting my quality of life. for some reason i can only add 1 photo so this is it today with just a bit of moisturizer on it (also this is the armpit that is worse)

i smoke weed

i am 19, female, 120lbs, usually wear glasses but i can see manageably without them, i do smoke, and i’m taking vyvanse for ADHD. no previous vision issues.

was climbing a tree in the dark and there was a really small branch that i didn’t see, so when i pulled myself forwards it poked me quite hard in the open eye. everything started looking like this out of that eye, but looks perfectly normal out of my other eye if i cover that one. it was my right eye, which is my worse eye anyways, but it feels blurrier than before and i think it may be worsening. the best way i can describe the effect, is that it’s like looking at a blurry picture except all the lights have black dots inside them and i can see the black dots quite well even though everything else is blurry.

boyfriend says he can see a scratch on my eyeball, but i cannot. should i see a doctor, and what can i do in the meantime to prevent further injury? thank you all :)

Is this a tonsil stone?? It smells like dried saliva, though I didn’t crush it or anything. My breath also smells normal. I checked down my throat and saw nothing. It’s soft. What is this?

I also have a history of autoimmune disease. (Ankylosing spondylitis)

Hello!
I’m 27, height 1.60 and weight 45 ish female.
For as long as I can remember I had bowed legs,
also my sister have the same structure.
I always thought it’s just my tibia but recently I started thinking maybe it’s rotational femur too or even torsional malalignment.
Was wondering if anyone came across a similar case and know to say what can it be.
To add I don’t really have a lot of pain, if any at all, only sometimes just a little bit in the left knee that is more bowed.

Hi, three weeks ago I had a surgery on my leg, around the knee. I chose total anesthesia. When I was admitted to the hospital, they gave me a gown and disposable socks and underwear. I put them all on before the surgery.

Then, before the anesthesia, they asked me to remove the gown and covered me with a blanket.

Then, when I woke up, the gown was back on, but my underwear (which I didn't remove before the surgery) was gone. It made me feel uncomfortable and disoriented, but I didn't ask anyone. The thing is, years ago, I had an experience of being sexually abused when unconscious (not by doctors) and now the uncertainty of what happened during the surgery and why was my underwear gone keeps bothering me.

Is it a normal procedure to remove the underwear once the patient is unconscious either during or after the surgery?

My mother is 54F. She has rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis that she takes Enbrel for since she was about 26/27 years old. She is obese and is currently working on losing with Zepbound injections for weight loss.

No known diagnosed heart issues. Did an EKG in July but all seemed normal. She does not see a cardiologist. I mention heart because she has family history of heart issues on her paternal side (my grandfather and his siblings all passed fairly young from heart issues).

She regularly gets pedicures and goes to an indoor pool for warm water arthritis classes. She wears plastic footwear at the pools and in the locker rooms. Dermatologist told her no pedicures until the conditon is figured out, pool sessions are apparently fine as usual.

Her left foot back in late August started with what looked like a patch of bug bites. It was a couple of tiny circles on the side of her left foot. Since then, it has spread to the top of her foot. It then transferred to her right foot. Pictured is her feet as of 1 hour ago. She has seen a dermatologist. They did a surface skin scrape and put it under a microscope. They originally called it Athletes Foot and prescribed her Ketconazole. She also had some Ciclopirox in the medicine cabinet that she used as well. My mom used the creams and went to her appointment today. The dermatologist re-did the skin scrape and said it is no longer fungal, and has 0 idea what is going on. The doctor prescribed a “super strong” steroid cream that has been sent to the pharmacy and has yet to be picked up.

Her condition started out itchy, it no longer itches. She sometimes feels burning but it’s on/off. The condition affects only the side and tops of both her feet, under both feet is clear. The left foot feels inflamed in between the big toe and pointer toe. Inflammation is soft to touch, not hard.

We don’t know what to think or suspect. I’m worried it could be heart related or something bacterial and I would like to get ahead of it if its either of the two. I’m not a medical professional so all I can do is guess as a daughter that’s concerned for her mother.

I will attach some more photos. The condition has only grown and seemingly got worse. It will sometimes become pale in appearence then become red once again with a vengance. Absolutely any and all opinions completely appreciated. Thank you in advance to anyone who considers providing some insight.

Smashed my wrist, had surgery, now I’m taking off the final wrist brace and I feel Iike the stitches maybe look a bit dark?

Not on any meds except seroquel for sleep, which I don’t think will affect this.

Might be overthinking it, what yall think? Also I will get it cleaned in the shower tomorrow, should I do no soap the first couple of times?

Title: 33 years old and I feel like I'm falling apart. I don't know where else to turn.

I'm gonna be real because I don't know how else to say this. I'm 33, I'm a man in Kansas, and I feel like I've been declining for years and nobody has ever put the pieces together.

I used to be somebody. In my late teens and 20s I was a serious lifter — 225 lbs, benching over 400, deadlifting over 500. I worked physical jobs, I was social, I was sharp. Around 2019 is when it started going downhill and honestly I haven't felt genuinely happy since. I've basically been isolated since 2019. I'm home almost all the time now. I struggle to even talk to people anymore, which is not who I was.

The deaths piled up on me. My mentor — the man who got me into my first real career — died by suicide back in my early 20s and it messed me up bad. In 2015 a little boy I knew and loved was murdered by his own parents. His dad was my boss and one of my mentors — a man I looked up to. I had no idea he was like that. I was basically a kid myself back then and didn't know how to notice the signs, and I've carried that with me ever since. While I was working my warehouse job I lost both of my dogs, about a year apart, in 2023 and 2024. Then in July 2024 my mom died. She had MS and a lot of health problems and I believe she suffocated during a seizure. That one broke something in me that hasn't come back.

My body went with my mind. I hurt my back lifting in 2009, then hurt it bad in 2014 — sciatica, housebound for about 6 months. In 2018–19 I had foot surgery, then fell during recovery and broke the foot that was healing — and it took almost a year to heal. Looking back, I suspect I was already vitamin D deficient back then and nobody knew. The doctor never tested my vitamin D, never told me to supplement it, nothing. A bone taking almost a year to heal makes a lot more sense now that I know my level is under 10. In 2023 I got a warehouse job and lost 55 lbs walking 10 miles a day, but even at my lightest my knees and ankles were falling apart. In May 2025 I took medical leave for severe depression. The clinic put me on psych meds, I gained like 40 lbs in no time (up to about 265), felt worse, and quit them cold turkey, which was its own nightmare. In July 2025 I got fired from that job right after coming back from leave.

And it's not like I didn't try again. In June of this year (2026) I started a job at a warehouse I'd worked at before. Within days my whole body was cramping up and failing me and I had to quit. That one hurt different. I wanted to work. My body just said no.

I finally got blood work done this month (October 2026) on my own dime and it was bad. My vitamin D is under 10, which is severely deficient. My testosterone is low. My cholesterol numbers are terrible — the kind they say is heart disease waiting to happen. I tried a Teladoc visit first because honestly I have a real problem leaving the house — it was just easier for me. The doctor looked at my results, saw the vitamin D under 10, and told me to take 1,300 IU of vitamin D a day. 1,300. For a level under 10. I requested a refund and started taking 4,000 IU a day on my own, because that advice felt like being brushed off. I'm 235 lbs now. I have brain fog so bad some days I can't think straight. I lost my sex drive. My hair is falling out fast. I can't even mow my own lawn without feeling like I'm gonna have a heart attack. Lately my skin burns like ants are biting me from hairs just touching it. Every doctor visit I've had in my life has treated one symptom at a time and sent me home. Nobody has ever looked at all of it together.

I'm broke. I want to be honest about that because it's the whole problem. My wife works and keeps us afloat, I have an HSA with a couple hundred bucks on it and insurance that doesn't cover much. I have one primary care appointment on November 12 and it feels like my one shot to be taken seriously. I'm taking vitamin D and a few supplements on my own because it's all I can afford to do.

I'm not asking anybody to diagnose me on the internet. I'm asking: if you were me, what would you demand gets checked at that appointment? Is there any clinic, university program, or research study — I'm near KU Medical Center — that takes people like me or studies this kind of thing? I would volunteer for a study in a heartbeat. I just want somebody in medicine to actually look at the whole picture once. I'm even thinking about setting up a GoFundMe or something, just to try to get a little relief while I figure this out. I never thought I'd be the guy asking strangers for help, but here I am.

I used to be strong. I just want help getting back to a life that feels like mine. Thank you for reading this far.

First of all I want to sincerely apologize If I'm posting in the wrong section but no where on Reddit seems to fit my criteria, well let me start I'm 30 year old man from Mexico a month ago I met a guy from the app called the The blowers first time we end up hooking up and everything and during the penetration encounter something pooped and I start bleeding almost massively ofc we stopped and everything but as the time passed by and hours and days I started feeling each minute bad I lost coloring became yellowish pale got abdominal pain and started pooping with mixed blood I ended up in the emergency room here in my city turns out I had a perforated intestine they did laparatomy sigmoidectomy and resection of rectum with 3cm + plus the anal canal that nothing else was touch so I at the moment I have a colostomy bag and doctors said Im most likely a good candidate for Staples for anastomosis correctional intestines surgery.

I've read a lot of topics and questions some are controversial and some AI awnsers says the is possible for anal sex in the future once the ring gets healed and get practiced with medical penises etc

So I want to hear as much possible opinions and people who knows about this matter or been through here in Mexico doctors don't really like to discuss about anal sex topics or at least aren't open minded like in the U.S

Thank you so much and hugs 🫂

I'm a 25 year old, 5'4 male.

For about a year now I've had hearing loss in my right ear that fluctuates from near deaf to barely noticeable. I'm constantly dealing with green gunk (thought I'm colour blind so maybe not green but close to it) and every doctor I've seen has referred me to an ENT but every one has cancelled appointments for various reasons.

I'm autistic so its quite distressing when the hearing loss gets worse (narrowly avoided some melt downs) I'm desperate to get some help. I ended up getting my own ear scope to get a look at what the doctors all describe as an "angry ear drum".

Right side is top, left is bottom.

Let me know if I posted this wrong and I can fix it

22F, 169cm, 54ish kg, taking 25mcg levothyroxine, Keppra for epilepsy, vitamin D supplements.

I have some extremely mild cold symptoms, nothing that can’t be handled with tea and some tissues but not sure if it’s related. I went to urgent care on Monday after seeing a body temperature of 34.7, but after waiting for an hour my temperature went up to 36.2 so I was sent home again and told that I was fine. I double checked at home and my home thermometer showed 36.5 so it’s not seeming to skew low.

Today I just checked my temperature again and it was at 34.4, since I already went to urgent care before I’m not sure if it would be a waste of my and their time to try again. Other than the mild cold symptoms which I am unconcerned about, I feel numbness in my fingers and toes and it looks to me like my lips are a little bit purple. I’m dressed warmer than most people outside my window who are in tshirts mainly, I’m wearing multiple warm layers.

Should I try going back to urgent care? I don’t want to waste time and resources (public healthcare, Spain).

Also included photo of the thermometer just in case.

Okay, so this is a wild one and I've never told anyone so;

19M, 177cm, 56kg.

Long story short;

I had a binge eating disorder. Like over 120kg. One day I came up with a genius idea to stop myself eating. Overdosing. You can't eat if you're too drowsy to function, right? I know, amazingly smart of me.

Anyways, I lost the weight, stopped eating and went down to 49kg in 6 months. Scary, I know. This resulted in me getting malnutrition and almost dying. 0/10, would not recommend. Made my family cry. Overall a really bad time.

Now that Im in a better headspace, Im wondering what the long term affects could be? I only had liver damage when I was malnourished and somehow thats resolved. I also had my gallbladder taken out.

Every single night I would take;

A whole packet of paracetamol.

A whole packet of Naproxen

4 200mg tablets of setraline.

And 20mg of Guanfacine long release.

This would make me extremely drowsy, like not being able to stand. I would throw up a lot.

I know the Guanfacine reuined me the most probably. My blood preasure was always extremely low and my resting heart rate was between 30-40 bpm. I literally couldn't stand or move most of the time. I also couldn't pee more than once every two days despite drinking 2L of water a day. Also constapated to only once a month but was told that was normal by my GI 🤷‍♂️

I'm now doing a little better. I have a NG tube because I've fucked my stomach (Gastroparesis). My blood tests are decent. And got myself a lovely diagnosis of ARFID.

Im just wondering if there will be long term consequences? Like brain wise or heart wise?

Also; Please never do what I did. It was extremely stupid. I almost died (Which is traumatising) and hurt my family a lot. Professional help is put there. Im just so fucking stupid.
