tail bone fracture enters the chat
What’s special about tailbone fractures?
It’s highly innervated (sensitive) and it’s cartilaginous. Cartilage is mostly nonvascular, meaning that it doesn’t have blood flow to it, and which also means healing takes forever.
Because it tends to hurt for a while due to the actual physical trauma, our nervous systems also tend to send the pain messaging well after the actual trauma, even if healing has taken place. This specific pain presentation is a form of chronic pain (mostly a nervous system disorder) that is usually onset by some sort of physical trauma.
I have met 35+ plus people who fractured their tailbones when they were kids and it still hurts once in a while
I used to crack my thumb a lot when I was I jr high.
Now that in 40, it’s perpetually sore
That most likely is due to you being fixated on your thumb. We can and do consistently wire our nervous systems, and in this case you’ve probably wired yours to produce a pain sensation in your thumb.
In a nutshell, this is how chronic pain works. There most likely is nothing physically wrong with your thumb.
Not my tailbone, but my hip, specifically where it joints with my leg. Fell while ice skating once as a teenager and every couple of years since I’ve gotten sharp pain in that joint that makes me almost immobile for a couple of weeks. Best I’ve ever gotten from a doc is a steroid shot to “hopefully” boost the healing.
Hasn’t happened in a while… knocks on wood.
Human Body?
Like Disco Elysium
I walk the land telling whores and liars of the end to come. There are 9,855 days remaining.
Well… if a ship left the dock, there is only that much that can be repaired while its swimming.
Have you tried jizzing on the ankle? That’s the secret sauce.
No way. That’s how you get a second ankle and then you got to support it for 18 years before it makes its way in the world.
True, this can knock it down to like 4 years.
I just call my stem cell dealer and spackle that shit on
Reminds me of this scene

Wrong Doctor.

It’s because it’s not worth it to save your life, evolutionary speaking.
Does anyone else just want those bacta tanks that they had Luke floating in after his hand was cut off or is that just me?
I bet you could do some serious shit to a person if you had something like that. Just crawl back into this cyber womb and we’ll get you fixed up in a week.
Still couldn’t regrow limbs. Would definitely be nice though.
In Star wars that’s because the journey that Luke Skywalker was going though was running in parallels with the first Irish King Nuada of the Tuatha de Danan, (in Welsh known as Llud) who lost his hand and his kingship due to the Irish requirement that Kings be physically flawless only to regain it with a hand made of silver that was magically attached to him.

If the bacta tank had healed Luke’s hand then he wouldn’t have gotten the cool robot hand which gave him a point of familiarity with his own cyborg father in their final confrontation.
Groovy.
have you tried putting that ankle in a uterus for most of a year
This is the best description of stem cell therapy I’ve ever seen.
I’ve tried, the cops keep stopping me.
Physical therapy will rapidly accelerate your recovery time and results.
this is why we always want to refactor
Behold the power of stem cells
Oh good. 4 more years to go.
Human body: I can grow a fully formed human baby OR regrow your big toe nail in like 9 months.
If you would like a brand new big toe nail, simply get pregnant and produce a baby.
Hmm sounds like they got old. Getting old is widely known to adversely affect your health.
It’s one of the leading causes of death actually
