Every question you've raised has already been addressed in that opening post.

2. Anxiety - General Discussion (Vol. IV) isn't meant for casual chatter; for that, we have the cocktail bar 'Psycho.Logitech' - small support group & chat.
Which, by the way, is clearly stated in the introductory message.

I totally get that everyone has gotten used to just hanging out and chatting, but that's not how this works anymore.
The people posting here should be those interested in the actual topic, not just using the thread as an emotional outlet.
It was hard to spot the serious contributors amidst all the constant chatter rolling through there, but they are definitely here.

3. Keep in mind that I've only been a moderator here for about six weeks, so please don't blame me for things that were already happening before I arrived.
Is anyone actually insulting you right now without consequences?

"How are you?" is meant for casual chat/small talk/socializing.

On this forum, we have the freedom to stay on topic, not necessarily total freedom of speech.

William Gonzalez3 said:Guys, my knee is killing me. I'm in my mid-thirties and already falling apart.

X-ray results are in:

The bone structure and mineralization look totally solid.

The TF joint space is narrowing, mostly on the medial side.

Both my tibial plateaus are flattened and sclerotic. Just great.

Just a tiny bit of impinging on the intercondylar eminence. Just my luck.

Just some medical jargon for "bone rubbing against bone." My doctor loves dropping terms like that just to make me feel like I'm losing my mind.

Just got my results back. Apparently, I’ve got subchondral bone sclerosis on my patellar articular surface. Basically, my kneecap is turning to stone. Great.

Fabela.

Are they going to amputate my leg? Should I start shopping for a wooden one?

Smoking while on the pill is a terrible idea, especially if you fall into a high-risk category (like being over 30, overweight, etc.). I can't even remember exactly how much it spikes your cancer risk. I totally blanked on that once and smoked five or six cigarettes in one night right before my period, but I'm not a regular smoker, so I'll probably live.🤣

Thanks for the heads up! I'm not in the high-risk group—I'm 23 and at a perfect weight, basically a textbook case. Besides, I only plan on being on this for a month anyway. I did have cervical cancer, which is why my dosage is set this way.
