Body Quirks

When I feel very upset, something twinges quickly and sharply in my left arm. Just next to the inner elbow. No idea why.

What foibles does your body have?

I can't be only one with a body quirk. 😆

I get stabbing pains in my sides for no reason

FortunataTagnips · 16/09/2024 18:14

Sometimes if I sneeze really hard I get a shooting pain up my arm and in my left boob.

shellyleppard · 16/09/2024 18:15

My lady bits get a sharp cramp occasionally 😐

FloofPaws · 16/09/2024 18:35

I have hypermobility, one of my hips, if I'm doing exercises where I lay in the floor and lift then lower my right leg, it makes a clomp sound - think it's a ligament, I used to think of it as my elastic band twanging like a Sindy doll 🤣

FortunataTagnips · 16/09/2024 18:36

@FloofPaws Both my hips clomp. It was a bit disconcerting in yoga classes!

Clomping, yes that's the noise! I get it too, when I reach for something and stretch on one leg.

When I am trying to do something quickly and I'm getting impatient, like knowing I need to leave the house but waiting for the washing machine to finish, I get the weird, itchy tingly-but-bad feeling in my, um, vagina Blush.

ncforcatquestion · 16/09/2024 18:59

The weird thing is I get nightmares with people stabbing me and sticking their nails into my stomach and sides and it really hurts

WeeOrcadian · 16/09/2024 19:01

I sneeze whenever I eat a polo or mint

I never sneeze once, twice or more (hayfever is a bitch)

I have an itch every single time I see a police car. Usually my head

ThatMakesSense · 16/09/2024 19:37

Plucking my eyebrows makes me sneeze. Chewing gum makes me burb. And sometimes my nose starts to run and drips out of nowhere!

NoOneKnowsWhoYouAre · 16/09/2024 19:43

Having my eyebrows threaded makes me want to pee

banivani · 16/09/2024 19:51

If I feel a sudden stab of fright, like someone being to close to the edge of a ledge, I feel a tingle down the back of my legs (basically this is where I feel fright).

Goatblu · 16/09/2024 19:54

I know I'm coming down with a cold if my left wrist starts to ache.

hockityponktas · 16/09/2024 19:55

Sometimes a muscle in my right thigh/hip area vibrates like I have a phone going off in my pocket!

Is it like a shooting pain going up? Because I get that 😩

Have you had shingles? I used to get achey pains all my left side elbow, shoulder, wrist where I had shingles whenever I was coming down with something.

DuesToTheDirt · 16/09/2024 20:02

If I drink fizzy drinks too quickly I get a pain down the left side of my neck. Confused

I get this too - in my arms as well.

Especially if I nearly fall or hurt myself, or DD does, it's sort of a rush of pins and needles.

I get a tiny speck of dry skin on the side of my foot, like a blocked pore. If I scratch it, it sends a shooting pain down my foot. If I scratch it a bit harder the dry skin comes off and it doesn't do it anymore until it grows back.

Oh my goodness, I get that sometimes when I eat strong cheese! 😂

ncforcatquestion · 16/09/2024 20:07

I've started having restless legs as well, or feet, every time I'm almost falling asleep. I have to shake them or I can't relax it's weird

WetBandits · 16/09/2024 20:09

A little crude, but I can’t orgasm unless I point my toes like a ballerina BlushGrin

QAOPspaceman · 16/09/2024 20:09

If I make a gun shape with both hands (I was a kid once, OK?), if I make the barrel with both middle and index fingers, my left ring finger won't go down and in fact sticks straight up and out. It looks absolutely ridiculous, like Dr Strangelove trying not to do a Nazi salute

Are you peri? That's a symptom 🥺
