BARF has been around for quite a while now and the membership has seen and experienced a lot of stuff.
There are a lot of issues that come up as we age, and not just mending from crashes. Most of us have had good and bad experiences with the medical industry. Many of us have had an exceptional doctor that we hope could help another BARFer. I have a really good orthopedic dude.

I just had Blepharoplasty surgery three days ago. Should improve my vision. Piece of cake. Medicare yea!
We have wisdom to share.
 
They take the stitches out after a week. I feel fine now. The look is a little scary.

So far, other than my stroke, I’ve been healthy and haven’t needed doctors.
 
I have had a fair amount of issues due to a very active youth and young adult hood.
Broke my first bone at 5yo. My poor Mom had to deal with a lot!!

11 years ago I had a knee replacement and that is still the only metal bits in my body because they did not automatically screw and plate stuff in the 70's and 80's.

A badly broken upper arm I blame for my shoulder issue. (football).
A hyper extended elbow left a bone chip floating and required surgery and limited motion and arthritis flair up once in a while. (Martial Arts)
A dislocated wrist left me with less than a good range of motion and arthritis has been brutal at times (Motocross).
Football did my knee originally and Motocross and Skiing wore the fucker out.

Etc.. etc.

My Dad gave me fair warning I would pay a price when I got old. I always told him it was worth it. We were both right.

The concussion thing is my biggest worry but so far nothing, but who knows really.

The joy of :afm199 is strong.
 
I’m just catching up as a young 51 year old (ha!) without a lot of broken bones except ribs, toes and fingers, but scores of sprained ankles and stitches all over my head. I usually get concussions and break my teeth which are fuckin expensive and dudes, menopause really hurts your joints. It’s such a dramatic switch and I had no idea it was coming. When the joint thing started I found this guy and I’m grateful for his methods every day.

The fractured vertebrae are my biggest haunts. They affect every move I make. Knees are shot and I’d like new ones. I’m going on Medicare this year and looking forward to a tune up. Since Covid I’ve had an impacted immune system which is a royal pain in the butt.

You deserve new knees like, yesterday. I have a friend who was suffering from an immune issue. He began fasting once a week, now goes to two days every week and his symptoms are so much more manageable.
