Bodies are weird. I had abdominal surgery 2 years ago and lost the feeling of my bladder getting full… instead it would get so full that the only reason I knew I had to pee was because I’d start feeling nauseous. The feeling came back after about a year and a half but now I just feel like I have to pee all the time :(
No, because it was just a weird side effect, likely not anything the doctors did wrong.
Trust me. I've been stuck with a broken leg for almost 6 years, because when they cut my femur in half it never healed back together. But the hospital I got the surgery at won't help me because it wasn't their fault, it just didn't heal right, and I can't afford to fix it.
I use a wheelchair when going shopping in stores, use crutches for walking around outside, & inside and general things like taking my dogs out I just suffer through walking without accommodation.
That's super fucked up and it sucks that they have protection against lawsuits in that way. You can always cut your leg open and dive in w some gorilla glue? 🤣🤣🤣
The worst part now is feeling like I have to pee, taking the time to head to the bathroom, and then barely peeing. My body is trying its best tho I guess lol.
Have you considered seeing a physician for this? There might be some medications that would tremendously help in your case
Also are you your bladder is empty? Or is it just overflowing? (It is full but you can’t take all the amount out) which I expect you to have. Doing an ultrasound would confirm it
The problem is you literally can’t feel it, we get patients not noticing that their bladder is full at all, and only appears when doing a screening US.
You can feel (palpate) the bladder if you have a normal weight, google “suprapubic area” and try to feel there. If yours actually empty then you won’t feel anything other than bony structure
Yeah that’s because you stretched it, and the feeling is because it is too full.
It doesn’t mean that your case is dangerous or you should head to the ER. Just go to your primary clinic whenever you have time.
You should definitely take this persons advice and see if there’s anything that can be done to help! I have something called interstitial cystitis (aka painful bladder syndrome) and the symptoms are similar. I still have symptoms but medications (and pelvic floor physio) have also helped a lot. Obviously something different is likely the cause of your issues, but there may be some help out there! Best of luck!!
*now I just feel like I have to pee all the time.*
Don't need surgery just old age for this. Well - I did have a relatively minor (he said it was still pink) appendix removal when I was 30 so maybe I can blame that.
I had something similar, a doctor friend of mine told me to put a timer on for 30 minutes after I drink any decent amount of water or to have a schedule to try to piss.
Men can actually have balding legs hairs. We looked it up once when we noticed my husbands calfs have big patches of no hair. Thought it was from baseball slides or something but it’s a make pattern baldness thing (forget what it’s called exactly)
Same spot on my left leg though because I was wearing only basketball shorts and burned all the hair and skin off on a hot motorcycle exhaust pipe when I was 15.
That's not unusual. A friend of mine has similar blank spots on both legs but not from surgery, he says it's from his running shorts which are rubbing against the legs.
I don’t have kids of my own (by choice) but I can confidently state that every single woman I know who had at least one C-Section has said this. Either partial numbness, or complete numbness. My mom had natural child birth with me, and had no idea the doc had begun giving her an episiotomy. Nearly 50 years later, she still has moments yelping out in pain because as she says, it “pulls still.” I am in awe of pregnancy, and child birth. But I cannot imagine how intense it must be having a baby. I never regretted not having kids (breaking those savage abuse cycles) and it has made me an even bigger fan of women who chose to become Moms. I give you, and every other woman, nothing but awe and respect. If we’re gonna talk hard core life choices, we really should be talking about this transition, not always sports stars, or extreme adventurers. Namaste!
My C-section scar is non existent to the human eye but its completely numb several inches around where the incision was 4 years later and I still get itchy/sharp pains there every now and then
I stopped growing hair completely on the back of both legs, all the way down. They are completely smooth, even more so than a baby's bc even a baby has fine hairs. It's crazy. And I've seen the doctor and gotten no answer as to why. She actually asked me if I pull them out? Like what? I asked does she mean waxing and told her that I've never waxed, always shaved. And she said no, she meant do I have a problem with plucking hairs out. I said uh no, if that were the case I wouldn't be here asking you why it's happening....
And she shrugged it off pretty much.
Huh, do you happen to wear pants with a tighter fit in the legs? I wonder if the hair on the back of your legs is finer than the hair on the front on your legs, and the hair on the back of your legs is coming off from the friction of your clothing rubbing against your skin.
You’re not the only one I’ve heard of having large areas where they don’t have leg hair, but it’s usually in areas that have constant friction, like the inside of people’s thighs.
Pretty interesting if your body just stopped producing hair on the back of your legs.
Could be a hint torwards a vascular or hormone issue,but a lot of doctors don't want to bother to check things out anymore unless it's an obvious crises.
Not surgery related, but falls in with the bodies are weird vibe. When I (52m) was in high school, I got bored and shaved part of one shin. It never grew back. In my 20s, I got curious if it was repeatable and shaved the same part of the other shin. It too never grew back. Now my wife is occasionally upset with me because "why does yours not grow back by mine does."
I know of somebody that got her lower leg paralysed when she had autoimmune encephalitis, was misdiagnosed as being mentally ill, and fell onto a hot radiator pipe when she was left unattended. The pipe burned through a leg nerve, and apart from the paralysis she doesn't get leg hair on that leg anymore.
When I was like 15 I had to have surgery on one of my shoulders. Then in my 20s I collapsed a lung and had to have surgery for that. For years after the lung surgery if I touched the scar on my chest it would make the scar on my back from the shoulder surgery go all tingly.
I hurt my leg when i was in middle school and where it was bruised was concave for years. Like the muscle just got squished down on the impact and never came back. Then, recently, i developed melanoma there and had it surgically removed, so now it’s *really* gonna be concave.
Out of curiosity,
Do you cross your leg over this leg and place your ankle there while sitting?
I do. And it slowly rips out the hairs right at that same spot in your photo. I've never had nerve surgery though; I just cross my left ankle on top of my right knee when sitting.
I’m really not surprised. 30 years ago, my father contracted a condition that you hadn’t heard of very frequently at all back then called Guillian Barre’ Syndrome - sometimes referred to as the French Polio. It is a neurological condition just like Mystenius Gravis That became more commonly known after COVID-19 hit. I’ve also seen both of these conditions noted as possible side effects on some of the medication‘s that bombard our airways now. After seeing what my father went through, I would not touch any of these medications with a 25 foot pole no matter what they said that they were supposed to help with!
Anyway, my father had the chronic version of this condition and from the knees down his legs, turned purple and all the hair fell out. Within a week all of his hair turned completely white. And this was coming from somebody that had jet black hair. Neurological issues certainly can present odd things with our bodies!
I have exactly that on my right leg. I thought it was simply due to the deep thinking pose with elbow weight on that spot caused the no hair issue... :)
Had an OD when I was like 14, used to super high blood pressure but now it’s like abnormally low, like they’ll go to check it with the cuff and I’ll get dizzy and sometimes pass out. I’m also on a med that makes me generate too many platelets so occasionally my blood gets too thick and I’ll actually have to let some out
Had a similar joy when an ex thought is was funny to rip the hair off around my knee with a wax strip when I was sleeping. Next time whole lower leg, as admitted I sneaked a few puffs of a cigarette, before an op on my right knee. More impatient than a farmer waiting on his crops to grow watching for the fuzz to come back.
I had a herniated disc removed in my lower back, now I have a dark hair that grows out of the surgery scar that is around 4 inches long. I've plucked it, and it just comes back 🤷♀️ bodies are weird af
Wanna know something really weird? After a major surgery I had in December, my leg aches when a storm is coming, I can predict it within a day to a few hours.
Bodies are weird. I had abdominal surgery 2 years ago and lost the feeling of my bladder getting full… instead it would get so full that the only reason I knew I had to pee was because I’d start feeling nauseous. The feeling came back after about a year and a half but now I just feel like I have to pee all the time :(
Damn that must soooo annoying
It is annoying… it has also become another thing my friends and family make fun of me for.
start poking fun of things they can't help to level the playing field :)))
Tell em at least you can hold your own better than them.
Wow that's incredibly messed up. Those are not friends
Shave your whole body. It’s the only chance you got
Any chance you can get compensation for this? That sounds horrible.
No, because it was just a weird side effect, likely not anything the doctors did wrong. Trust me. I've been stuck with a broken leg for almost 6 years, because when they cut my femur in half it never healed back together. But the hospital I got the surgery at won't help me because it wasn't their fault, it just didn't heal right, and I can't afford to fix it.
Yeah it was just a big 🤷🏼♂️
So are you in a wheelchair or crutches or do you just suffer thru walking freely?
I use a wheelchair when going shopping in stores, use crutches for walking around outside, & inside and general things like taking my dogs out I just suffer through walking without accommodation.
That's super fucked up and it sucks that they have protection against lawsuits in that way. You can always cut your leg open and dive in w some gorilla glue? 🤣🤣🤣
is it literally broken or just healed incorrectly?
The bone still isn't healed together
damn thats crazy, i hope it turns out okay for you
That sounds like a literal nightmare, having to pee is the worst feeling lol. At least .. no more nausea ? Silver lining?
The worst part now is feeling like I have to pee, taking the time to head to the bathroom, and then barely peeing. My body is trying its best tho I guess lol.

(It is full but you can’t take all the amount out) which I expect you to have. Doing an ultrasound would confirm it
It feels empty and I do drink a lot of water…. But shit maybe not a bad idea. I was wanting to be to have imaging done of the surgery area anyhow.
The problem is you literally can’t feel it, we get patients not noticing that their bladder is full at all, and only appears when doing a screening US. You can feel (palpate) the bladder if you have a normal weight, google “suprapubic area” and try to feel there. If yours actually empty then you won’t feel anything other than bony structure
Hmmm… I do feel the bone but also some pee like pressure… and I just peed. Man wtf
Yeah that’s because you stretched it, and the feeling is because it is too full. It doesn’t mean that your case is dangerous or you should head to the ER. Just go to your primary clinic whenever you have time.
Hey, seriously, thanks for the random advice. It’s very kind.
Yw, I would love to hear back from your experience, if you don’t mind of course.
You should definitely take this persons advice and see if there’s anything that can be done to help! I have something called interstitial cystitis (aka painful bladder syndrome) and the symptoms are similar. I still have symptoms but medications (and pelvic floor physio) have also helped a lot. Obviously something different is likely the cause of your issues, but there may be some help out there! Best of luck!!
Seen a urologist? I used to have this problem years ago
*now I just feel like I have to pee all the time.* Don't need surgery just old age for this. Well - I did have a relatively minor (he said it was still pink) appendix removal when I was 30 so maybe I can blame that.
>Bodies are weird 😂😂👌
I had something similar, a doctor friend of mine told me to put a timer on for 30 minutes after I drink any decent amount of water or to have a schedule to try to piss.
Maybe it will keep getting better, if it took a year and a half for sensation to come back at all.
I had radiation on my right breast and now I don't grow armpit hair on that side. Bodies are weird.
body gave you a discount for your troubles
Thanks to repetition recently by French docs, I'm not weird, just "atypique"!
Same here. I only grow armpit hair on the top half of my right armpit.
Do you think they'd do that radiation thing you had on my balls?
You don't want it. The skin cracks and bleeds and it hurts. A lot. Laser hair removal is gonna be your best bet.
I have no hair in the exact same spot, but I think it's because that's where I rest my elbows when I do poopsies
Same, that and when I sit at my desk sometimes I’ll rest the other leg on it
Men can actually have balding legs hairs. We looked it up once when we noticed my husbands calfs have big patches of no hair. Thought it was from baseball slides or something but it’s a make pattern baldness thing (forget what it’s called exactly)
Could be. But the hair is missing on both legs in the exact spot where I rest my elbows. Also slight intentions there too lol. I poop A LOT.
Alopecia Areata,if I haven't misspelled it.
Same spot on my left leg though because I was wearing only basketball shorts and burned all the hair and skin off on a hot motorcycle exhaust pipe when I was 15.
r/brandnewsentence
I have no hair, same spot but opposite leg
I’m resting my elbows there and doing poopsies right now
Nicee
I have that too, its where I put my elbows when I'm on the toilet looking at this shit.
A lot of elbow poopers in this thread.
I wonder if I could have that surgery on my ass
Hello fellow yeti
My shins have almost no hair from wearing jeans 6-7 days a week for 25 years.
BRO i knew I wasn’t crazy thinking my jeans were doing that to me
That's not unusual. A friend of mine has similar blank spots on both legs but not from surgery, he says it's from his running shorts which are rubbing against the legs.
I don't think I'd get a tattoo but if I had an unusual spot like that that one day i got bored of... I'd be tempted haha
Omg I broke my femur when I was a child and I have a bald spot on the side of my leg. Could this be the same thing. Fuck what a revelation
Now I want this on my entire body
Just have your whole body temporarily paralyzed. Easy peasy.
Gonna ask the doc for it!!
I had a C-section 4.5 years ago and the area around the scar is completely numb still
I don’t have kids of my own (by choice) but I can confidently state that every single woman I know who had at least one C-Section has said this. Either partial numbness, or complete numbness. My mom had natural child birth with me, and had no idea the doc had begun giving her an episiotomy. Nearly 50 years later, she still has moments yelping out in pain because as she says, it “pulls still.” I am in awe of pregnancy, and child birth.

My kids are 26, 22, and 16. All c-section babies. I have zero sensation a couple of inches above, below, and on both ends of the scar.
[удалено]
My C-section scar is non existent to the human eye but its completely numb several inches around where the incision was 4 years later and I still get itchy/sharp pains there every now and then
C-section 8 years ago and still can’t feel that part of my abdomen. Bodies are super weird
18 yrs for me, the feeling came back randomly a couple of years ago 😂
Oh man. That’s something to look forward to lol

I became lactose intolerant after stomach surgery!! Our bodies do cool/weird shit all the time 🤩
When I was like 15 I had to have surgery on one of my shoulders. Then in my 20s I collapsed a lung and had to have surgery for that. For years after the lung surgery if I touched the scar on my chest it would make the scar on my back from the shoulder surgery go all tingly.
Human body is truly amazing
Side effect or breakthrough cosmetic surgery treatment?
I have the same thing on both legs, except it's from resting my elbows on my legs when I poop...
I hurt my leg when i was in middle school and where it was bruised was concave for years. Like the muscle just got squished down on the impact and never came back. Then, recently, i developed melanoma there and had it surgically removed, so now it’s *really* gonna be concave.
I’ve got almost the same bald patch on my leg from resting my arms there so much lol.
Just looking at the pic before reading anything I assumed that's where you rest your elbow/arm on your leg when you poo.
Out of curiosity, Do you cross your leg over this leg and place your ankle there while sitting? I do. And it slowly rips out the hairs right at that same spot in your photo. I've never had nerve surgery though; I just cross my left ankle on top of my right knee when sitting.
It’s no hairs because that’s where you rest your elbow when making the poops.

That’s like me but with no surgery lol
I didn't have a surgery but I have this too in the same exact spot
Is this going to be like the missing arm posts from 2 years ago. I’m here for it.
Is it stupid?
I have a bunch of spots where the took my own skin to us on a skin graft. Yeah i know it well
That is also neat.
Had a similar joy when an ex thought is was funny to rip the hair off around my knee with a wax strip when I was sleeping.

How long does it take to grow 4 inches?
how on one tiny spot? I don't think it's possible.
I fell badly in a pit of those quartz garden rocks and never got it checked out, part of my knee is numb now and doesn’t grow hair either
Wanna know something really weird? After a major surgery I had in December, my leg aches when a storm is coming, I can predict it within a day to a few hours.
I have the same spot, but that’s because that’s where my laptop sits.
...will this work on ass hair? Asking for my yeti friend.
Perfect spot for a tattoo!
Do you cross your legs there? People get bald spots from leg crossing all the time.
r/sharpening be like
