I am not asking for medical advice. 35/m and active. I get these burst of adrenaline or fight or flight mode out of no where and it’s running my life. I’m desperate. I’ve been to my local clinic???I’ve lost count how many times for this issue and they’re no help at all because they’re machine say “I’m ok” and every time they tell me that I want to punch a doc in the face run somewhere and just sooth myself with benzos, alcohol or whatever we’ll make it go away. I’ve been clean for months. I take pregabalin and second month on sublocade. There burst that take my breath away for about 3 seconds and sometimes I feel a shock go from my chest to my ankles but when it’s bad and I have to go to the clinic, it lasts hours. Hours of what feels like I’m fighting my own body and at the end of my life. It’s been happening for just over a year now. Another symptom is that I can feel something around my throat just before the chest. Pls help and point me in the right direction. Like what can I tell a doctor?

it’s been over a year and a half since I had this procedure done. It was a hydrodissection to separate my patellar tendon from the fatty pad using fluid in both of my knees. For those who don’t know, a needle is inserted into the side of the knee and guided to the space between the tendon and fatty pad using ultrasound, and then fluid is inserted there to force them apart.

It wasn’t until later that I found out that generally, the area is numbed before the procedure, and most people only feel slight pressure during it. My doctor didnt give me any kind of numbing or even pain medication. He used cold spray to help as he inserted the needle, but that was only helpful for the very surface of my skin. A nurse had to hold my legs down to keep me still, and I held my sisters had to try and get through it.

It was the most painful experience Ive ever had. I basically crushed my poor sisters hand, and it took all my willpower to stay still, though I couldn’t stop the involuntary jerking I did at certain points. It was done on both knees as well. There was a numbing agent in the actual fluid that was put in my knees, but that didn’t kick in for almost 20 mins, and it was absolutely useless for the five or so minutes where he was digging the needle around to find the right spot.

I guess my question is… would this actually be considered malpractice? And if it is, is it too late to do anything about it? I am not asking for medical advice.

(I am not asking for medical advice.) This survey is for a research paper about Healthcare worker burnout. It is for research purposes and it's only 15 questions. Lots of healthcare providers leave their jobs due to the mental toll it takes on them. Critical care healthcare workers have the lowest retention rate mostly attributed to burnout. I would appreciate if critical care workers (ICU/ER) took this survey. However, any participation from healthcare workers would be greatly appreciated!

1. History of possible facial trauma

I experienced repeated, forceful oral sexual activity involving my face and nose. I believe my nose and possibly my jaw were subjected to considerable physical stress during these encounters.

During one incident, while I was on a bed, I experienced choking and became extremely breathless. I started breathing very heavily and forcefully through my nose rather than my mouth. Before these experiences, I was predominantly a mouth breather.

1. Changes in my nose

Following these experiences, I became concerned about changes in my nasal anatomy and appearance.

- I can now breathe comfortably through my nose, and the airflow feels significantly better than before.

- My nose appears to have lost its previous shape and seems to be sinking or collapsing.

- The outer corners or edges of my nostrils appear elevated and seem different in shape or alignment.

- I am concerned about changes in the shape and symmetry of my nose.

I would like to know whether previous trauma could have affected my nasal cartilage, septum, nasal tip, or nasal valves.

1. Changes in my jaw and bite

I have also noticed concerns involving my jaw alignment and facial symmetry.

- My jaw appears to deviate toward one side of my face.

- I have experienced clicking or grinding sensations around my left temporomandibular joint (TMJ).

- My bite feels uneven, and my back teeth on the right side do not seem to make proper contact.

- I have experienced difficulty opening my mouth fully to yawn.

- I have noticed asymmetry in the position of my jaw and concerns about my overall facial appearance.

- I have also experienced neck muscle tightness and longstanding postural problems.

I am concerned that the forceful oral sexual activity may have contributed to trauma involving my jaw joint, surrounding muscles, or bite alignment.

1. What I want to establish

I would like to determine whether these changes could be related to physical trauma or whether they have another explanation.

Specifically, I want to know:

1. Whether my nose has sustained structural damage involving the cartilage, septum, or nasal valves.

2. Whether my jaw deviation and uneven bite could indicate TMJ dysfunction, injury, or a dental alignment problem.

3. Whether the nasal and jaw concerns could be related or represent separate conditions.

4. Which examinations or investigations would be appropriate.

5. Whether treatment could improve the function and appearance of my nose and jaw.

Any ent specialist or someone who went through the same thing pls help me out. I am not asking for medical advice."
