Okay, this is kinda awkward for me, but i'm freaking out. :eek:

Let's just get right into it:
I sometimes get sharp pains while I'm peeing. Started yesterday.
I've read something about that chloride (pools) can cause this kind of thing. Is any of that true and do I need to worry? Been sitting in the hot tub for 2.5 hours, 2 nights in a row. Can that have anything to do with it? What should i do, I'm kinda terrified of doctors :banghead: :thdown:

That is a stupid statement.

So you prefer asking a bunch of non-qualified, probably underage, peeps from an Internet forum, over asking a professional doctor?

Yeeaaaaa... Goodluck at getting it worse :thup:.

The best thing you can do is ignore your fears and visit the doctor.

"The best thing you can do is ignore your fears and visit the doctor"

You might be right, but still.. I know it's stupid, but I don't like doctors..
I was hoping that someone could rule out the chloride thingy (or verify it)

I may be a jackass, but you can't say I'm not right :rolleyes:. Seriously now, it is a big chance that you might make it worse if you follow some random advice from the Internet. Go to a doctor, it's the best thing to do.

Its very likely its from the hot tub. It will only get worse to the point of needing it to be amputated without medical treatment. If left alone to long it can cause severely dangerous blood clots.

Joking. I have no idea. Thats why you see a doctor and not ask people on the internet about these things.

Could be a minor urinary infection, could be as serious as cancer, could be nothing at all. See a doctor.

never said you weren't right. I just meant by jackass that you could be a little more subtle. If i ask this over the internet, then i think it's clear i'm not comfortable talking about it. I know it's irrational and stuff, but hey: I can't help it!

anyways thanks people for the replies. I'll go to the doctor :)thdown:). Sometimes i just need that little push and this time it was the internet. ;)
 

Seb!

Yeah, much smarter to ask a couple of guys on a tech forum imo.

Btw, stealing thread now. A car hit me last night and my right fucking arm got ripped off by 2 giant tigers and a gorilla. Then I was attacked by a couple of afghan suicide bombers that totally destroyed the shit out of me. Should I go and see a doctor?
wat

why do some ppl just need to make me feel any worse than i already do about this shit..

Think on the bright side man, you could be dead, or worse..

I'm sorry for being that harsh in the first post, but I see a lot of people doing something similar: asking the wrong people about an issue, simply because they are ashamed or afraid of asking the professional people (in that issue), so I couldn't help myself :eek:.

If you're so scared then wait a week or so if everything is back to normal, if it persists then go to the doctor.

My futile attempts at brainwashing.

Seriously dude, I wouldn't even trust anyone here with my home address, or my phone number! Better go see someone with years of experience than to wing it.

PS: Stop bathing for more than 2.5 hours at a time you prune.

My doctor always told me that that is a bad way of doing things :p. And my mom is a nurse and she says the same thing. However, considering his fear, this may be acceptable...

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
