It's a known (but apparently not common) side effect of the radiation but my radiation oncologist had no suggestions. She acted like she didn't even know what it was. My surgeon immediately recognized it and sent in a referral for me. Meanwhile. it hurts like hell. I'm already alternating Aleve and ibuprophen for the joint pain from the Keytruda.

You might benefit from an over-the-counter shoulder brace that can help support the tendons thar keep your arm and shoulder socket in the right alignment.

Thank you. I did those for a couple of months after the surgery when my entire left arm was tightening up. They helped tremendously for that but don't seem to be doing anything for the tendonitis but making it hurt more.

Half the info on Google says use ice, half the info says don't use ice.

I’m a big believer in ice. 20 minutes on, one hour off, repeat.

I use it for sciatica and lower back pain. It’s the only thing that works for me. I found this discussion when I was unable to move from lower back pain.

I take ibuprofen, and if necessary, Percocet. I'm not sure about the body slams against hay bales, but the rest of your advice seems sound to me!

The body slams against a soft but firm surface squeeze Mr Kidney serving Kid Rock an eviction notice. Doing side bends over a sofa arm or mattress do the same thing.

I discovered it by accident during my first bout with The Stones. I got tired of laying around the house preferring returning to work to complete some light duty tasks: collect equipment serial numbers from a bunch of trucks. That meant laying on the drivers seat in a quasi-inverted yoga move with a flashlight to read a number upside down. By the end of the day my dull pain was gone. So, the next time I felt that ache, I did side bends on the bed, and it seemed to help.

He's out of the kidney, but appears to be stuck in the Renton 'S' curves of the ureter (not the urethra, that's the last stage).

U. Michigan study to help those with autism improve driving
University of Michigan researchers are studying how well people with autism spectrum disorder can detect road hazards, and plan to assist the young motorists in sharpening their driving skills

The upcoming effort will be the second phase of a project funded by Ford Motor Co. that teams the Ann Arbor university with a local driving school.

During phase one of the study, researchers found that students with autism spectrum disorder detected fewer hazards than control participants during simulated drives.

But, according to lead researcher Elise Hodges, some extra work behind the wheel did the trick.

“Those folks that underwent training improved in two-thirds of hazards in the simulated drive,” said Hodges, a clinical associate professor in the University of Michigan’s neuropsychology program.

Indeed, the first phase of the study found that, in addition to detecting hazards, students with autism tended to slow down and “stop short” in front of stop signs.

Identical twins Brittany and Briana Deane were inseparable as girls growing up in Delaware. Their lives were so intertwined, in fact, that they hoped to one day fall in love with identical twin brothers and marry them.

Jeremy and Josh Salyers are also identical twins who had the same idea to marry a set of identical twin sisters.

So when the two sets of siblings met in 2017 at — where else? — the annual Twins Days Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio, they all decided this could be their perfect match. The Deanes and the Salyerses spent a year dating, and when all four were sure they had found their match, they returned to the festival and got married right there, in matching outfits.

And if that weren’t enough, the two couples — who now live in a house they share in Bedford County, Va. — went back to the twins festival earlier this month, this time with their sons, born about five months apart.

I thought it was interesting, but there was lots of criticism.

Every Style of Beer Explained: An Expert Breaks Down 100 Types of Beer, from Malty Lagers, to London Brown Ales, to Bock Beer

There was a time when one could hardly hope to enter polite society without knowing one’s Cabernets from one’s Pinots and one’s Chardonnays from one’s Rieslings. That time has not quite gone, exactly, and indeed, a greater variety of pleasures await the oenophile today than ever before. But in the twenty-first century, and especially in twenty-first century urban America, one must command a certain knowledge of beer. Even those who partake only of the occasional glass will, after a decade or two, develop a sense that they prefer a lager, say, or a stout, or the perennially trendy IPA. Yet many will also be at a loss to explain what they like about their preferred beer’s flavor, let alone its origins.

Enter Master Cicerone Pat Fahey, whose title bespeaks his vast knowledge of beer: of its nature, of its making, of its history. He puts his mastery of the subject on full display in the hourlong Wired video above, in which he breaks down every style of beer. Not most styles: every style, beginning with lagers malty and hoppy, moving through an even wider variety of ales, and ending with an extended consideration of lesser-known beers and their variations. Most all of us have sampled American lager, English porter, and even German pilsner. But can you remember when last you threw back a Flanders red ale, a doppelbock, or a wee heavy?

Fahey knows his beers, but he also knows how to talk about them to the general public. His explanatory technique involves providing generous amounts of context, not just about the parts of the world in which these beers originate (a geography and language lesson in itself) but about the ways they’ve been consumed and produced throughout history. Of that last he has a fair amount to work with, since the oldest recipe for beer, previously featured here on Open Culture, dates to 1800 B.C. The nearly four millennia of beer evolution since then have produced the formidable tap rows with which the bars of Portland, Austin, and San Diego confront us today — and which, with Fahey’s guidance, we can more credibly navigate.
