Alcohol into soft tissue or muscle

[jako9999 (imported)]

Hi all I know this is a bit of track and may well appear very strange to most but after reading what alcohol injections can do this has got me thinking. I have a very sick right elbow and arm that lets me down all the time and in my opinion is a complete waste of time I have had many ops all failed and have asked on several visits to specialist please just cut it off so I can get on with my life. My question is if I inject my elbow with alcohol what will happen? Does any one have any ideas? I hopped by now they may have followed my wishes or if not I would get a big clot in it and then they would have to amputate but no such luck if I could get a large clot that would be great but no idea how to get that either so alcohol may be my last result before I slip on the saw bench dont worry I have thought of it but could not do it. Now getting desperate.

Thanks in advance

I wouldn't do that because what might happen is more damage that won't result in an amputation. That's not the way to deal with a sick right elbow.

It sounds like you have classic body identity disorder. There is a doctor that specializes in that, I think he was on the board here at one time. I talked him on the phone at length and I think he seems like he could help. He's a psychiatrist but could help give the psychiatric approval necessary before any doctor would help you.

Does anyone here remember who that doctor was that was discussing BID?

Hi,

I have a pair of testes that have given me constant pain for years. The left one mainly. This was caused by a vascectomy that prevented conseption by making intercourse too painful.That was not the way it was meant to be but there was no way I was going to let another surgon near them. Useless surgons. My balls stopped working some years ago but the pain still persisted.

I recently tried alcohol injections on the left one and it worked. Very painful the first injection but not so bad the second. Now I think I could bang it with a hammer and I would not feel a thing. The nerves have obviously been deactivated and the tissue feels like scar tissue. The pain has gone. I cannot detect any bad side effects.

Testes just dangle but an elbow is a working device. There must be better ways to stop pain. I think the last thing I would want is an elbow consisting of scar tissue.

I'm going to tell you something that you may not like to hear...

My right shoulder hurts like a bitch if I move it the wrong way. IF I throw a baseball. When I try to play electric organ or piano. Lift a pot of water off the stove. I have to move carefully to make sure it doesn't hurt.

I had the best orthopedic and physical medicine doctors in the area look at it in various ways -- ultrasound, mri, electric shocks thingies (myleograms? I forget the proper name) and they found nothing physically wrong with it. No rips, tears, bone chips, rough surfaces, no cartilage damage, nothing wrong. No infection or inflammation. It wasn't that I was old (I was only 55 at the time they examined me)... The shoulder just wore out.

But it still hurts and I still don't have full range of motion or activity.

The doctor asked me if I knew what movements hurt it and I said YES.

then he said - "don't do them" and that is all the respite I have. I taught myself how to do everything over and protect that shoulder.

So that's my advice about your elbow.

Remember, you can't pick your nose with an artificial hand

or wipe your ass with a clawed hand.

And I knew guys who lost both hands. They needed help pissing at the urinal for a few months till they learned to use the claws.

That's life, dude. Sorry but it ain't fair.

There are also newer therapies to treat those who feel some part of the body doesn't belong to them. There is a part of the brain that has a map of the body and sometimes it forgets a part (or doesnt realize it's gone).

I don't believe that you want your arm cut off due to joint pain and I doubt your doctor does either. I'd be going for joint replacement first.

I'd start with http://www.biid.org/

Body Integrity Identity Disorder

When a person's idea of how they should look does not match their actual physical form, it can be caused by Body Integrity Identity Disorder. This condition affects a small percentage of the population and is commonly manifested by a desire to have an amputation of a specific body part. In most cases, the limb that the person would like to remove is actually in healthy working order and there are no physical problems with it.

Many psychologists and neurologists have ventured theories into what causes this type of thought. The common leading idea is that Body Integrity Identity Disorder, or BIID, occurs when the brain is not able to provide an accurate plan of the body. In this case, the brain sees the offending limb as being foreign and not actually a part of the person, thus the desire to have it removed.

Some medical experts have also come up with theories that explain a more psychological source of the issues. One of these theories is that a a person with BIID may have seen an amputee at an earlier age and this image has replaced their own thoughts about what constitutes the ideal person. Therefore, to become a better person, they feel that a certain limb or appendage will have to be amputated. Unfortunately, there are no known surgeons that will carry out this type of amputation without a medical reason to perform the operation. In the most severe cases, a person with BIID may do bodily harm to the limb that they would like to have removed, thus necessitating an amputation operation. Others manage to cope with the illness by using canes and prosthetic attachments to help them feel complete. Cases of BIID are often separated into those which have an actual physical problem and those for whom the issue is psychological in nature.

Thanks I feel as though I am amongst friends on here and not judges as after all what most of us on here want to do to our nuts many people would find us abnormal and we all know we are not. My arm gives me lots of problems but as many of you have said it may all be in my mind I have injected many thing into my elbow before and failed to get the correct out come just a lot of swelling and pain, I am worried about causing damage to the rest of my body, I dont want that just my arm gone. I sit there thinking of ways to get it sorted may be I do need help but in the UK people just laugh at you and think you are mad. The forum is the only place I have confided in about my arm and as for my nuts again I really want them gone and a nice smooth look after all sex is about once a month but masturbation is three times a day and I really just want it to stop but again I scared, I would still like to get erections but only when I want and if they stopped I would cope

Thanks

Although both my balls are numb from the alcohol injections, I still have a small area of (I suspect) epididymus on the outside of the right one that retains a constant soreness when touched. If one is experiencing pain from tissues outside of the teste then alcohol injection may be ill advised. And as far as I know, nobody has any experience with injecting into the epididymus, or into the band of cords that go to the testes; I would not do it. Not a good idea to accidentally inject alcohol into a blood vein. Alcohol injections are risky to begin with, and experimentation not recommended at all.

I did a series of alcohol injections into my testicles about 11 years ago now. During one of the injections, I must of hit the vas deffern cord, or that funny thing called the eppidyditums, I can't spell, and I felt the alcohol traveling into the cord and up into my abdomen. It felt funny, but didn't hurt. I didn't experience any bad side effects from this, but made sure it didn't happen again on the next injection. My balls now are totally useless and don't produce testosterone anymore and have really atrophied. The left one is much smaller than the right one and hides up inside my abdomen now.
