Do you have any medical related quirks you never went to a doctor for? (1 Viewer)

This was something that happened today. Sometimes my right thumb will stop working, and if I try to bend it or use it the thumb just spasm and goes everywhere except where I want it to. This is recurring, but happens about twice a year for a couple hours each time so I just never bothered to get it checked because it’s so uncommon that I have it.

There’s also another one. When walking or running I sometimes get a sharp pain in the middle of my foot, like someone’s stabbing me with a little knife. Then it goes away after like 3 seconds. This is even more rare, once a year max, so I also just never bothered to get it checked because it doesn’t bother me much.

My lazy eye when I get tired
I had surgery on both eyes, three to four times
and it wasn't completely fixed

i had bad accident to my elbow that almost tore off and i got bad nerve, muscle and bone damage on my right arm. It happened during elementary and they were able to get my hand working. But it has been getting worse and worse in my twenties and now i have pain on my fingers daily and i cant move my fingers together. But they work well enough and i can use them most of the time and i dont find the power to go to see a doctor about it yet. i just dont find the power to go get it checked. I have enough other health and mental health stuff going on so i really dont want to deal with it rn

the nerves in my hands function in tandem sometimes, meaning when I'm doing something with one hand, the other hand copies it. It doesn't happen when I'm typing, though, and it doesn't really bother me bc it's just part of my disability.

I had a toe fracture. It got x-rayed but I had no medical treatment. The toe is still slightly bended but it doesn't bother me.

I used to wear my backpacks on one shoulder all the time. One day it got the best of me at school and my whole arm spasmed with excruciating pain. My shoulder hasn’t been the same since

I also smashed my toe bad a year ago which made me think I fractured it. Eventually the pain stopped but I’m still concerned about it

You’d better get that toe xrayed. I had a wrist fracture one summer that went undiagnosed bc I didn’t get an xray, and now there’s a crick in my wrist.

A toe fracture heals up in 4-6 weeks. If you can move the toe properly without pain, everything should be ok.

My nose whistles when I breathe. My eyes twitch randomly and then vision goes away for a few seconds. I vomit when the temperature is too hot. My kneecap moves in ways it shouldn’t. My bellybutton has a random liquid inside. My periods are extremely irregular

One night, I stepped into a splinter when I went to pee (still don’t know how and why it was there) and it literally went into the middle of my foot. Got it out, but sometimes, when I just stand, especially in the shower, I feel like it’s still there, it stings and I feel the same pain again. Sometimes I wonder if I hurt a nerve or something when it happened.
