YPrrrr

Sounds about right, an officer once tagged me with "unreasonable and impudent" speed which essentially means driving at a speed considered  unsafe in inclement weather conditions. Granted, I was going 5 mph over in clear and warm weather, but the fine was somewhere in the $300 range

They should really make these tickets scale with income though, the wealthy can speed without much fear but when I received that ticket it was half a months rent and a quarter of my monthly salary.

shut the fuck up commie i got mine fuck you

Also yes, flat fines are regressive and usually only serve to majorly impair poor while inconveniencing or not mattering to wealthy people.

fine

my hip still has slight soreness now and then, but i rarely notice it. every once in a while it may act up a bit. tight pants make it more likely to happen. i still can't truly comfortably lay on my left side.

my forehead and my eyelid still have marks, but they're getting smaller all the time.

this still happens to me, but it's not pants or clothing that cause it

in my case, it's the long-term weather changes brought about by seasonal transitions (hot-cold dilation of metallic implants brought about by seasonal changes -> slight but temporary pain/discomfort as surrounding area adjusts)

buuut my case is just a little different from yours so i should probably stop making direct comparisons lol

but first, some more direct comparisons:

if you're like me, that might take about a full year, give or take some months, to really subside

i had a miserable time laying on my right side for long time before one day i just noticed i could do it without too much discomfort

my overall flexibility in that joint and leg has been reduced slightly, and there is still some mild muscular weakness, but neither of those is necessarily permanent and i cold fix both by just exercising more (...or at all)

and in practice it woks just fine

as of recently i even regained the ability to run normally lol

good2hear

come to think of it, my own scar collection has gotten quite large in the past 24mo

thankfully, most aside from the hip one are small and they're all concealed by regular clothing
