I was thinking it would be fun to have a thread where we can post our X-rays and make others cringe.:lol: From when I broke my clavicle 3-4 years ago. Top one is about two months later after I have been snowboarding again and freaked out the X-ray tech since I had a 10lb weight in my right hand to weight my shoulders and there is nothing connecting the two halves yet#-o Bottom one was the day I broke it.
Did the clavicle grow together overlapping? That's what's happening to mine. How long did it take to feel "normal" again?
Here's my right wrist from a few yrs back. I was disappointed going through airport security the first time, that this does not set off the detectors. If it had, I'm sure it only would have been cool once! I have a couple screws in my left hand too but they're not really worth posting up. Before: After:
ooohhh ooohhh i gota couple of good ones but i have to take pics of them. femur just below the hip fib and tib just above the ankle collar bone separation w/screw holding it down
Nothing makes me cringe more that the thought of screws in bones. It seems like there has to be a better way. Look at the holes those things are making. At least bring it down to a number 6? haha
Uhhhh.... Anyone have a pic (or two) of their pins/screws trying to push themselves through the skin? Now that creeps me out...
I kept losing my mind. Actually it's a fusion from a disk rupture....kind of extreme but more common these days(and very successful). Mine was giving me seizures so we went with it... I wore a head brace for 5 months too. (sucked....but part of why I ride conservatively)
Yeah i have bump where it overlapped. Feel normal, I guess depends on what you define normal, I didn't really take any meds beside advil for a week, wore the harness thing for maybe 3-4 weeks all the time and then only when sleeping for another 2 weeks. I would say about 6 weeks i didnt even realize it was broken but like I said the 2 month xray shows no connection yet I was back to doing just about everything i use to beside surfing.
I dont know if its just my Ortho,but they didn't give me X-rays,they were just down loaded onto a computer screen.
I had to ask my doctors to print mine out. I've heard some won't do it, but my docs have never had a problem.
It's ancient history so no pics. I managed to slide out on my YZ250 and the case came down on my foot. I broke all the bones across the foot. Back then (maybe '84 ?), you only had surgery and screws in the big bones. Bad news for me - one bone healed overlapped. It feels like walking with a marble inside my shoe all the time. It creates massive callouses. I never walk barefooted! Bring on the X-rays!
ooooohhhhhh never say never8-[ just like never say this is my last "run, lap or whatever" cuz it will always come around and bite you in the arse.....hard.
