Any updates on your end? Is your brother doing any better, or is he still stuck in the hospital? I’m hoping for some good news. 👍

Gerald Morgan4 said:They say they get occasional lightheadedness, hmm... Well, they're heading to the emergency neurology department in San Francisco tomorrow night to get checked out, so we'll see. Thanks for the advice. 🙂

So, what was the diagnosis?

Thanks 😘 , I’m actually heading in to see them next week, so I’ll find out what they have to say then 🙄

Do they usually decide on the total number of therapy days during that first consultation, or do they just monitor you for a bit before determining the exact duration?

And what kind of therapies do they actually offer over there? 😲

Has anyone here dealt with the pain management clinic at Rib?
Specifically, what's the word on Tomislav kukin? (Feel free to DM me)

Thanks 😘
Could you please go into more detail regarding the therapies you’ve undergone and what they cost? Send me a DM

Has anyone here actually been to that clinic? I'm wondering if they specialize strictly in sports injuries and fractures, or if they handle spinal issues as well.
Given the price tag, what does the initial consultation actually entail?😲
Also, how does their treatment approach differ from your standard physical therapy?

Most of the posts in this thread have vanished, so I’m asking the member who shared those details about the specialist in the suburban area—the one helping with spinal issues—to please DM them to me again. 😘

Don't sweat it. God forbid any real trouble shows up 👍 (though they usually find you sooner or later)

Not a big deal 🙂
One side is always more congested than the other because of my deviated septum.

I'm starting to think I'll need to see an internist, and once that's sorted, it's time to find a new doctor.

Ever since I cleared up that flu, I’ve been stuck with this nagging dry cough and chest pain that radiates up toward my neck and over to the right side. On top of that, there’s this constant sensation of a lump in my throat, making swallowing feel difficult. My doctor basically brushed it off because my blood work came back normal, but I can't shake the feeling that something is wrong. It's becoming increasingly hard to ignore.
Which specialist should I be seeing, and what could these symptoms actually point to? 😕

Speaking of DayQuil, has anyone else dealt with bad reactions like spikes in blood pressure or a racing heart?
That’s exactly what happened to me last time. I’m actually too nervous to touch them now, and even after two weeks, I still don't feel quite right.😕
Is it even possible for this to linger for that long?

Is it just a dry cough, or are you dealing with fatigue, chest pressure, headaches, and things like that?
I’m not exactly firing on all cylinders myself, and I can't get to the doctor until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest.👎

If only I could finally get back to a normal life. 🙏
Every kind of virus seems to have a crush on me; they don't let go easily. 👎

Joining the club here. 👎
After every bad bout of the flu, I’m left with a lingering low-grade fever around 99.5°F. There was one stretch about a year and a half ago where it just wouldn't budge; I went through every test imaginable before it finally cleared up on its own. 🙂
It's happening again this year. I spent about ten days sidelined, but the temperature is still hanging on. Then there's this cough—it makes me worry about something going on with my lungs. My doctor listened to my chest and told me there's no need for an X-ray, arguing that I shouldn't be getting unnecessary radiation exposure every single year. Still, I can't shake the anxiety. I'm terrified of some underlying complication surfacing later.
At this point, I'm at a loss. 😕

Is everyone back on their feet? Anyone else dealing with a persistent cough? I'm starting to worry it might be pneumonia—God forbid.😕

I read somewhere that it lasts about five days for kids, maybe longer.

To those of you who think you've finally moved past the flu—are you still dealing with a brutal cough or anything similar? This has been dragging on for quite a while now, and I'm starting to wonder if I should just head in and get a chest X-ray on my own initiative.
Is there any way to get one done in the city on the same day?

I got the shot too, but ended up with a milder version of this. My fever hit 99.1°F, I laid low for about ten days, and honestly, I still don't feel right. 😕
I’ve been left with this lingering, borderline temperature—it happened once before, about a year ago. I just feel completely wiped out. My blood work came back fine, and the doctor listened to my lungs and said they sounded okay, then sent me off to get 👎
Now I'm just anxious that something else might decide to latch onto me. 😠

Keep your fingers crossed for me. I’ve had two neurosurgeons, a neurologist, and a physiatrist all tell me straight up that physical therapy should be my first move. 🙂
But today at the ER, they pushed for immediate hospitalization instead. 👎 It left me completely stunned. I asked if there was any way to try PT first, and their response was essentially, "Fine, just come back to see us once things get worse."
I honestly don't know how I managed to walk out of there. Once I was home, I couldn't stop overthinking everything—wondering if I should have just agreed to surgery on the spot without a second thought, or if sticking to the plan of visiting some hot springs for rehab was actually the right call. 😕
Regardless, I’m heading out tomorrow to start physical therapy at a wellness resort. I'm just hoping that doctor's grim little prophecy doesn't turn out to be true and things take a turn for the worse.
Most people I talk to say you should exhaust every other option before agreeing to go under the knife.
I have no idea how this whole situation is going to play out, but thank you all for the advice. Hopefully, I'll be posting an update soon.
