What's on your mind right now?

No, you don't understand. They're right and everyone else is wrong, it doesn't matter what the facts say. Isn't that obvious?

(sarcasm)

I'm often put off going to the doctors because in my surgery you have to arrive between 8 and 10 in the morning and wait until you get seen by a doctor. I find waiting in waiting-rooms so hard, even if I have my phone with me to occupy me. Sometimes you can be waiting up to an hour. I get really anxious, as there are always people coughing and I worry about catching something. Remember, masks only work if the person with a virus wears it.

I also become fidgety in my seat, I can't help it. My coccyx start aching and I need to stretch.

I got a finger up my bum for complaining about coccyx trouble the last time I saw my doctor

I wonder whether stopping stuffing your face with food works the same as the weightloss injection

The doctor did that?!

Wow.

She was ruling out some condition or other
"Corda Equine"

"Horses tail" in english

It was after the injury

When I was 22 I fell backwards right on to my coccyx, thinking there was a chair there when there wasn't. The nerve in my coccyx really hurt for a few days after that then started to heal.
But in these past few years I've been getting pain in my coccyx if I sit for too long.

I keep worrying in case I have nerve damage which will get worse the older I get until the nerves no longer send messages to my brain telling me I need to poop and then I become incontinent and have to wear adult diapers and not know when I'm pooping. This really, really scares me, because I've been toilet-trained since I was a toddler (fully potty-trained by 22 months) and have never soiled myself since and have always been clean and conscious of hygiene and just feel mortified at the thought of having to wear adult diapers.

Will that happen?

I'm not a doctor. You need to watch out for numbness and loss of sensation
I was struggling to bear down because there was a weakness in my lower spine so I was literally waiting for gravity to bring it out (I'm doing my best to be civilised in my language here, me)

You should see the state of my spine and I'm still upright and have full bladder and bowel control

Mind you my last injury has scared me, I can't lie

I'm sorry you went through that.

We should have a doctor on WP, for us to get advice from if we don't fancy sitting in a doctor's waiting-room for an hour.

Oh right.

I thought perhaps that the doctor might just have felt like having a feel and used any excuse?

I was looking at myself in the mirror one time without even knowing it. I thought I was looking at a poster of Schultz.

Yeah I sometimes think there's someone standing in front of me when I look in the mirror

Oh it's OK
I kept folding up, in two when I stood up for a few days after the accident

I'm still recovering. This is all in the last 8 weeks or something

I've got another 3 weeks yet apparently

It took it out of me both physically and mentally I just didn't want to go out or anything but I'm happy to go out again at least

I may have caused myself permanent damage but that's just me saying that

I hope you get better in any case, bb.

I'm sure that you will bounce back from all of this.

I think the reason why I'm in this situation is because I don't bounce anymore
