#physiotherapist

Hello my dear colleague,At first congratulations to you...🌸

---

You asked me the wrong question!Do you know who is called doctor?!...in another way do you know the difference between the word "doctor" and the word "specialist?!

---

I will answer this question .. The word "Doctor" is launched only for those who obtained a PhD

---

So,Physical therapists and medical students both graduate as "specialists"

---

Then,The physiotherapist and human doctor start preparing the master's degree and then the PHD

---

But custom and culture make us call those who work in the medical profession(human doctors, dentists,Pharmacists and physiotherapists ) the title of doctor

---

I hope I have answered your question..🌸

I want to give you a tiny advice,
I know you are good at English, but speak Arabic as long as you don't speak in medicine

Limited by a lot more than $$s I'm afraid, but mostly the impediments are lack of motivation, & ignorance. I don't have a lot of energy for things for a bunch of reasons, poverty is the least of which. I'm not doing too badly financially atm; by my standards, at any rate. My mental health isn't great, & my body is in rapidly accelerating disrepair, & I hate thinking about it which means I don't want to learn what I need to to fix it.

---

So I guess what I'd LIKE to do is get more exercise, but I don't know much about exercise & don't really want to find out. I also have a drug habit which limits my movement a fair bit, as well as eating into what little money I do have (keep in mind when I said I'm fine financially, I just mean I don't have to pay rent. Which is pretty good compared to others, but I still don't have money for shit like gym memberships). My diet is also terrible: very little food & most of it very bad for me.

---

So that said, exercise & health would probably be the two biggest concerns in terms of getting myself looking better. There are ways I can do these & I'm slowly trying to prod myself toward them, but Centrelink & travelling out of town to visit my gf make that sort of undertaking a bit difficult. Not impossible by any means, tho.

---

First thing to do is probably see a physiotherapist & see if my back can be repaired. It's just one massive knot atm, & has been for some time. I get frequent headaches & whatnot from back pain. I also don't have much stamina, & my lungs are shot through from smoking various things. I'm kind of a wreck in many ways, but I'm not dead yet. Hopefully I can get my back hammered out, & maybe go do some lightweight hiking (nothing of a @rmaynard85 level, just day stuff) with my gf & see if I can get a feel for my body again.

---

I'm alienated from the damn thing, basically. It frightens me. A lot of years as viewing it essentially as a meat prison to be pitied & avoided. Partly this was because I was studying for 6 years, which by no means prevented me looking after it but did kind of lower its priority. Then the weed happened, now I'm kind of a mess. Hard to turn a trend like that around, but again, not impossible.

---

Actually giving a crap what I look like will help, I think, but tbh I've always found fitness to be a pretty unimportant aspect of what makes a man look appealing. I mean you don't want to look unwell, but musculature & whatnot are overrated imo. I'm unlikely to go lift weights & shit, which is the current metanarrative for health & definitely has nothing to do with the sudden proliferation of gyms & whatnot. Nah, I'm sure it's good, it just doesn't appeal to me much. Requires too much caution, I consistently injure myself on the occasions I've tried to "work out".

---

Anyway, pray for Soul James, as he's probably going to keel over dead from some undiagnosed health nonsense any time now.

PLEASE READ THIS
I'm not doing this for attention, I'm doing this because today was the IWK Radiothon and I would like to raise awareness by spreading my recent story.

---

Around mid December I started feeling a pinch in the back of my right leg. And then it started getting worse, and worse, and worse until one day I almost passed out from the pain from just simply sitting in French class. I called my mom and she took me to the emergency room. So, after waiting 7 hours, we saw a doctor and she said I pulled my hamstring and that I babied it for too long and caused a secondary muscle contraction, and that physiotherapy would fix it.

---

So when we got to the physiotherapist he said after trying one test that he would not touch and and to take me back because he disagreed that it was a torn hamstring. So we went to the family physician and she sent us to the hospital for an ultra sound on my leg. The hospital made a mistake and gave me an X-ray, which turned out to be better in the end, though we did not know that at the time.

---

They saw a growth on my femur, and sent me for an MRI, but I had to keep my leg straight and the pain was just too unbearable. They tried again the next day with me on a bunch of painkillers, and they still couldn't do it. So then they sent me in for a CT scan, and though it was still very painful, it was quicker and I could hold it for the amount of time they needed.

---

Then, the next day, were at the IWK. They ran a bunch of tests, tried another MRI, because they needed a clearer picture, but I just couldn't. So the next day they give me a full sidation, and the MRI gets complete. That was at 8:30 am.
at 11:00 am the Doctor comes and tells us that I have bone cancer and that they have a whole team ready for me.

---

And then I go in for the (planned) biopsy five minutes later, and during the biopsy they realized that I did not in fact have cancer. I had an ostiocondroma, which is when your growth plate grows wrong, and we were told that they were not that uncommon. Normally they grow smooth and people go through life without even knowing they have them.

---

But, mine grew all spikey out the back of my right femur, and tore a bunch of muscletissueand sliced an artery in my leg causing a huge hematoma. they got it all out and I'm on the road to recovery, but I would like to share this and raise awareness and ask that you please donate to the IWK as they have helped me and so many others. thank you for reading
