Welcome to the lame injury club. :|



My old roommate probably takes the cake in lame injuries. He was putting on a quick show for his wife, just being an idiot... Mimicking an action scene from a movie where he pretends to be shooting at somebody and rolls across the hood of his car, then snaps his ACL ligament landing on the other side!

Boy was that a LONG rehab! I never let him live that down for a long time. :D:D:D:D

Yeah...the reducing was a bit gross. but the doc did a good job of covering it up as he yanked it back into place. He knew i was gonna be watching. I'm just worried how long I'm gonna be off. I didn't expect the lidocaine to hurt so freakin much. He injected it into the bottom of my foot...then he's tickling my feet and tells me to stay still!!!. WTF?? NOT fun.:):S:S

I have a question. How do you post x-rays?

Mine is pretty cool looking and it was never handed to me. :|

Sorry about your toe. I hope you heal quickly. :)



Depends on if its a digital image or a plain film. If digital then simply request a copy of your exam and have them put the images on a cd. If plain film then it must be digitized somehow. As already stated a scanner works ok for this. On a standard computer monitor the image wont be "diagnostic" but you can still see pretty much what you want to see. Heres the monitors we use.

Thanks. I have no clue about x-rays. It's my first broken bone. I definitely didn't see a monitor like that. Very cool.
Be yourself!

Okay, for those of us who have managed to remain intact in spite of themselves, what is a "reduction?" I am pretty sure I don't want to have one, but details would help! :D



Imagine your forearm making an "L" shape to one side or the other. When the doctor pulls it back out straight he/she is "reducing" the fracture. Also, if say your shoulder popped out of its socket. When they put it back that is also known as reducing (remember Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon?). Pretty much any time you take a body part from where its not supposed to be and put it back where it belongs. Make sense?
