since i was a kid, i had randy marsh sized shits. i'd constantly clog the toilet. i do consume fiber, so it's not as big of a deal anymore, but it does happen on occasion. i had to buy a toilet auger since the plunger just didn't get this one. is it possible to buy toilets with larger holes and stronger waterflow to reduce clogs? or perhaps some other handy tool? something that doesn't cost thousands of dollars would awesome.

from my google searches, "American Standard Champion-4" pops up a lot on the first page

It definitely depends on many circumstances. Generally, a few months should do the trick. With regard to the bone cyst, it doesn't need any type of treatment, unless it enlarges or starts causing problems on its own. Right now it appears to be benign and not causing you any issues. If you demand to have it removed, there are less invasive procedures, but yes, you will still require a few days of recovery.

I would highly advise that you go over the results with your current doctor in order to discuss the options directly. I haven't even seen your MRI results, so I'm going strictly off the notes.

The cysts can recur due to constant use/injury/lifestyle/etc. Obviously, once you fix the problem causing the cyst(s), you will not have recurrence.

Entirely up to you. 3-on-1-off is usually the method most people use if they don't do 6-on-1-off.

I almost cried reading this. That is pure gold in how you describe things.

Yes, some toilets are clearly more durable than others, with greater GPF as well as larger suction force. The federal government actual regulates certain aspects of toilets, leading to a fascinating underworld illegal toilet industry, including larger GPF toilets which don't conserve water as much as standard ones.

That being said, the champion appears to be an excellent choice for your.....condition....

ok thank you.

i asked for MRI results and they only gave me two pages. but really only like a few sentences explained the issue. they doctors office didnt send me the actual MRI images.

wondering around how many images were taken or how difficult to read? i guess i can ask the doctor to send me the images, they should allow it?

i was also under the impression that anything done to remove or heal the cyst would require a few months recovery time. a few days sounds great in comparsion.

and ive been super busy lately, havnt had much time. but yes, i do need to make time to see an orthopedic !

also i do want to lift again in the gym.... so for lifestyle i guess the cyst may get worse if not treated? and by whats causing the cyst, i thought that for bone cysts its extremely difficult to tell what the cause of it is?

I know I asked you before but can't seem to find it

They will definitely allow you to obtain your results. However, did your actual doctor not sit down with you and explain everything? If not, he needs to!

The duration of recover depends on the treatment. There are less invasive treatments that don't have a very long recovery time.

Usually the cause of the cyst is trauma, which in this case is most likely from a shoulder injury. You need to rehab the shoulder and keep your range of motion appropriate for the weight load you use. If you feel pain/discomfort, readjust or stop!

Female Training Guide

Basic Guidelines –
1. Perform each rep slow and controlled, focusing on the squeeze each time.
2. If you feel pain (not a burn, but pain), stop and readjust your position or reduce the weight.
3. Take only 12-20 seconds between sets (the shorter the rest, the more calories you burn).
4. Never work out on a full stomach, eat approximately 1-1.5 hours before working out.
5. If you feel like you’re going to throw up, run cold water on the back of your head.
6. Do at least 30 minutes of strength training and 30 minutes of cardio every time you go.
7. Go to as many classes as you like, but you still need to do 60 mins of weights/cardio.

Note: All exercises will be performed for 5 sets each, but done in a specific way to encourage muscular failure. Begin each exercise with a 15-20 rep warm up set. Then begin your set with moderate weight and go until failure. Take 12-20 seconds, then increase the weight and go again until failure, take another 12-20 seconds, then increase the weight a 3rd time and go until failure. Then you will immediately cut the weight in half, and go until failure one last time with no break.
