Health and fitness thread

[(Anonymous)]

For that stuff.

Injury

[(Anonymous)]

I was coming downstairs and I slipped with about two steps left to go. I'm only feeling some minor aches right now, that I wouldn't consider Tylenol worthy, but I have a feeling they're the sort of aches that WILL hurt as time passes.

If I take some tylenol now, can I prevent that?

Re: Injury

[sarillia]

That should work. I've had doctors tell me to go ahead and take medication like that before the pain starts instead of waiting until I'm already in pain.

Re: Injury

[(Anonymous)]

Painkillers work best when they preempt pain instead of reducing it.

Re: Injury

[herpymcderp]

Yes, but it won't prevent it completely and it won't actually do anything to heal the injury.

Be sure you ice or tape it as necessary.

I got a canker sore on the inside of my bottom lip. It is in the most inconvenient spot because literally every time I open my mouth to talk or chew, my teeth rub against it.

Re: Health and fitness thread

Brush your teeth more often, cut tomatoes out of your diet for a while, and just dab a little bit of whisky or brandy on the sore to help it clear up.

Re: Health and fitness thread

[(Anonymous)]

Brush my teeth at least twice a day, don't eat tomatoes (gross), and I guess I can try and find some whisky. My boss might have a bit for me to dab.

I would not go with alcohol myself. A better home remedy is warm salt water rinse. Get a tube of oral benzocaine at the drugstore. And yes, as herpy says, look into clorhexidine rinse although you'll probably need a prescription.

Re: Health and fitness thread

[(Anonymous)]

I get those sometimes, but I brush my teeth twice a day and I never eat tomatoes? What am I doing wrong?

Re: Health and fitness thread

[(Anonymous)]

Sometimes stress or impacts can cause them.

Re: Health and fitness thread

[herpymcderp]

Most people get these, and it's rarely a case of not brushing enough. They may develop when you get a small abrasion in the soft tissues of the mouth which triggers an immune response.

Various OTC rinses and medications are available, though if you get them regularly you may want to speak to your dentist about a clorhexidine rinse.

My partner gets them if she uses toothpaste with Sodium Laureth Sulfate. Worth considering changing toothpastes if you start getting them frequently.

Training for my bike ride this summer and I got some clipless pedals + shoes. They're so stressful! I fell over and bruised my knee! I expected it but it was still scary. Hopefully they get easier soon haha.

Re: Health and fitness thread

[(Anonymous)]

Do they stick your feet to the pedals? That sounds scary!

Re: Health and fitness thread

[bigpaw]

They do! You can get out pretty easily by twisting your foot, but it's still scary. I went out for a ride without practicing clipping in/out enough, stopped at a red light, couldn't get my feet out, and toppled over in slow motion. Embarrassing :/

It is surprising how frustrating bedrest can get. I have been getting up and moving around a bit every day. But being unable to do anything is frustrating. I hate having to ask my parents to do every little thing for me. I can't even bend over if I drop something on the floor.

Re: Health and fitness thread

[lb_lee]

OH GOD BED REST IS THE WORST. I hate it so much. You have my sympathies.

I'm crook today, and I spent about ten hours hypersalivating before my body finally gave in and puked. I'm actually feeling a bit better, though my jaw is really aching now.
