I had my physical today. Let me first pose this question to you guys “How does being cold affect Blood pressure and Pulse?” So I get on the waiting room an...

Par4QC I'd be sick or hurting all the time.

That sounds like me the past week and a half. At least I'm not hurting when I'm not sick. I did have aches and pains for years, but found out it was due to inflammation from my crappy diet and not just old age.

Par4QC I have iron rich blood. Too much is just as bad.

Typhoon probably because Tylenol is for pain, not inflammation. Try some ibuprofen or Naproxin

garyt1957 Took Advil again this morning. Yesterday was pain free so let’s see how long it goes. Yesterday I did alot of driving but no gym or anything golf related. Really want to see how I feel after a normal day of working 2 jobs, going to the gym and playing golf.

How much do you take, John?

sdandrea1 I’m taking 600 mg around 7 am. Today I took another 400 at 3 pm before I went out to to yard work after work and golf. Didn’t help…. Left side hurts and the top of my foot gets numb. Was fun all day walking 18 though

My former primary care physician gave me a Rx for 800mg tablets and told me I could take 2 a day as long as I didn't develop any gastro issues. I can tolerate Ibuprofen. Others can't.

Typhoon My wife takes Meloxocam. Her Dr said its metabolized differently so it's safe to take long term. Maybe look into that?

sdandrea1 On day last year I had to play in a scramble and hurt my lat muscle on the right side rowing in the gym the day before. At the suggestion of a chiropractor friend I took 800 mg of Advil and it helped tremendously. I took another 800 probably 6 hours later.

Typhoon that sound super frustratting You would think the cold room and your obvius discomfort would have been a clue. It’s crazy they did not considder how much that can spike BP and pulse especialy since your numbers at home were totaly normal. Good on you for checkin it yourself. Sometims it realy does feel like we have to be our own docters.

Typhoon

ghani735 Yeah, I don’t have a very good doctor. I went on for my blood labs and when I got the results, 90% were missing. She forgot to order normal blood labs…. Only did my PSA🙄. She is awful. The previous year about my brother having prostate cancer. This year she asked why I went to a urologist. I told her I saw last years PSA number for me went up a little and I was concerned since he was stage 4. She looks at me and says, “ oh, so he has prostate cancer as well as colon cancer?”. I said,”he doesn’t have colon cancer….”

Typhoon Yikes.

Typhoon that really frustating. It is tuff when you ca not rely on your docter to keep track of sumthing so important. You defanitely deserve better care especally with your famly history. Hope you are able to find somone more atentive and informed soon.

On, how about this one. I have pain at the top of my knee cap on my right leg. Only hurts going up or down stairs. Other than that it’s fine. I’m thinking quadriceps tendinitis.

Typhoon

I agree. It inserts right at the top of the patella, a motion like the stairs would do the trick. I've felt the same thing before.

sdandrea1

Typhoon I’m thinking quadriceps tendinitis.

I'm sure that's it John. I'm thinking of cancelling my medical insurance and just posting my symptoms here. 🤣😉

Typhoon

Knee has been getting better over the past few days. I hadn’t been to the gym in 2 weeks. Just went back now. No issues and we did sandbag squats, echo bike , wall walks..

Typhoon

It seems my aches and pains come when I don’t work out.

Typhoon It seems my aches and pains come when I don’t work out.

Strange. Mine seem to be the opposite.

I remember talking to someone at work, they were saying "I worked out, and ran this weekend. My back is killing me. I did something."

I replied: "I layed on my couch drank beer, watched NASCAR and golf. I feel great!"

Human body is a strange animal.

Typhoon It seems my aches and pains come when I don’t work out.

Same. If I sit around too much, start feeling like shit. Back tightens right up. Gotta keep moving.

KCee

Typhoon Same for me. I am like the old car I saved for my kid. If you don't drive me around for too long things just don't work well if at all. And I tell my wife all the time "nothing hurts on the golf course".
