I don't know about you younger people, but I find various bits of my body going wrong and I think "I can't be bothered going to the doctor with that" because

a. it doesn't have to last much longer
b. they won't be able to do anything about it anyway
c. it seems trivial compared to what some people have wrong with them

For instance, for some years now the area above my right heel has been very sensitive, meaning that if I wear any kind of trainer or other high back shoe, it hurts.

Also, I get quite a bit of back ache. Nothing incapacitating, but I'd just as soon not have it.

I'd be interested to know if other people are like this, and just how bad something would have to be before they go to the doctor

i have this cough that never seems to go away no matter what i try i actually did try going to the quack and due to being allergic to quite a few different medicines i was told i was basically becoming untreatable
however as soon as i go to a hotter climate it goes away
it did stop for a while but now its back again
it used to get to the point i ws pretty much on the ground because i was coughing that badly
its a pain in the ass

Both my wrists sounds like cement mixers.

Right shoulder is numb all over for some reason it's been like that for a few years, can't be bothered to do anything about it.

Always walk with a limp, some times a hobble as both my legs are fked.

Meh i'll live.

I can't have been to a doctor in at least 10yrs... and i'm fine! Barely ever take any pills/medicine either. I really don't understand why people will go to a doctor or take pills/medicine for every little problem!

I had a godawful ankle sprain, which swelled so much that I couldn't fit my rigger boots on, when i was on a transit from Mumbai to capeTown. It hsn't been the same since, and I never actually got it looked at.

After the mess they made the first time, I have not had several broken hands looked at.

Please don't try and make a joke of that.

Bad back, stiff and hurts more when cold.
Sore knees that click.
pain in chest just below left nip, no idea what but it stops me in my tracks when it hits, normally passes after a few moments, suspect trapped wind TBH.
Rear driverside top tooth is sensitive, I say tooth but the dentist made it out of stuff a while ago but now it hurts when hot or cold.
Heart races sometimes for no reason.
Head pounds sometimes when I am walking.
Wax in ears.
Foul temper.

I went for years with knee problems before seeking help & I only did because it was made worse in a car accident and started to affect my hockey playing, got an mri & cat and there's some tissue damage but got it before it needed surgery so just physio which is good, from now on if I'm worried about something I'll get it checked out rather than wait till it's worse...

Though some things I do just leave, I find going to the doctors a chore and dislike the fact that they really don't care and will quickly write a prescription to get rid...

I have a bad neck, can't turn my head more than 90 degrees, its a pain overtaking trying to look over your sholder. Probably an old karting injury, had a few shunts while racing. I know a bit of phisio would help, can't be arsed.
