Avatar m tn She jumped off of a chair and broke her front leg. The vet said the cast would be enough and the surgery is not required. However the x-ray shows that the bones are not aligned perfectly. I understand that he is a professional but I have already had experience with some incompetent vets and cannot rule out this one to be another example. I will probably get an advise from another vet but also want to hear your opinions. Has anyone had the same kind of problem? Here are the x-ray shots.

Avatar n tn I had x-rays done there is no torn muscle , dislocated, cracked or broken bones the doctor told me to strecth the area but it hasn't helped, was wondering if a chiropractor would be able to help me with my problem
1196614 tn?1265075773 Ok so, when I finally got the surgery and after seeing an X-ray of my leg I had some questions from my own. I asked the doctor why my fibula looked like is still broken on the x-ray. The response was that the fibula was already healing and there was no reason to attach pins or screws to it and also they said that fibula bone does not support the body weight at all.
Avatar f tn the femur is not broken at all ... solid bone ) ! I can have surgery to remove the broken part of the rod , I am indecisive = has anybody ever had a situation where the rod was broke & the broken part was removed ?
1282316 tn?1279565682 I have been recently having severe lower leg pain in my right leg, feels like the bone is broken but I know its not. My question is does Osteoarthritis cause this much pain?

Avatar f tn Hi, I slipped rather badly in the snow 7 years ago and hit my leg (shin) on the step of the platform of a bus I was getting onto. It hurt and bled rather badly - too painful for me to cry and I can't take a lot of pain! Although it happened a long time ago there's a dent where I injured it and its still bruised. Is it likely I've fractured it and should I see a doctor? I've been getting cold feelings below the area and I'm worried about the dent and bruise.
1961938 tn?1398718101 I am 36w3d and I need to have dental work done. I have three broken teeth and I would just leave them until after baby girl is born but one of them is super painful so it needs pulled. Anyways I called to get an appointment and they said they would have to do X-rays to see if there is an infection in the tooth. What are your thoughts about X-rays in the third trimester? I am definitely going to try to see if they can not do them but it doesn't seem like an option and the tooth needs pulled.
Avatar m tn Four weeks after surgery I went to the doctors for a check-up and when x-rays were taken, the x-ray showed that the plate and screws lifted from the shoulder side of my collar bone. The doctor asked me if I was lifting anything or doing anything that would have caused this? I can't move my arm because of the pain and told him all I did was start to try and lift my arm up as he wanted me to. Has anyone had this problem with the plate and screws lifting? Is this normal or the doctors fault?
Avatar n tn t heal properly and after six months a rod was inserted. After a year I was back to playing tennis, golf, etc. I had it x-rayed about 1 year ago after a spell of aching. The orthopedist said I could have the rod removed but advised against it. Recently it has started to ache quite a bit. I did drive about 600 miles with few stops and that night it ached almost as much as the night I originally broke it and before the cast was put on. I can hardly put weight on it at times.
Avatar f tn It feels like iv done something more then just bruise or twist it because its gradually getting worse, iv broken my leg before and it kinda feels like that. Im a lifeguard and am worried that this is affecting my work, also soeone at work suggested i might have injured my 'scaphoid bone' (spelt wrong) does this sound possible?
Avatar f tn Has anyone broken their Tibia and fibia? I broke mine two years ago and am still having problems. I have a plate and eleven screws. I am thinking of having them taken out in the hopes that it will releive some of the discomfort. Any information from someone who has done this would be great.
Avatar n tn i was just wondering it has been about a month and a half and accordin to x-rays and tainers ppl tell me ill be able to get my cast off in a week or two what can i do to help heal faster (what can i eat or drink that would help) how long will rehab take, and what kind of things will i need to do
Avatar f tn They told me 6 weeks to heal before i get cast off, but i was in a splint style cast for the first week, does that count as one week? and also should nt have the doctor have asked me to come in for check up x-rays just to make sure the bone is healing properly? i live in a small community was treated by a regular doctor a i think.Do u think ill need an aircast after i get regular cast off or is that just optional?
Avatar f tn I had X-ray and nothing is broken, But from my understand that X-ray can't show herinated disc or any other problems that have to do with the spine. That why I ask for an MRI the first time and the doctor sent for any X-ray, I hated Medicaid cause you got wait for everything. Thanks for the advice.
Avatar n tn But otehr form repairing the bone , you can try to put soem stainless steel support on the replace of the broken bone.It is a safe teqniqie as my uncle had this operation at 1992 on his broken leg femur and he is still ok andno one even knows he had a surgery.
1417063 tn?1282107664 Sounds serious. Go see a doctor immediately. If your foot is not broken (negative x-rays), then you could still have soft tissue damage. Either way, seems to be getting worse, so go see your doc.
Avatar m tn My mom had a fracture on her left leg. It was compound fracture with her leg broken above her ankle She had a steel rod put in her leg from the joint till the ankle. Got an xray done just of her left leg AP & Lateral view. The report is normal except for the 2 points mentioned as below: 1) Fixating devices are seen in situ. 2) Old fracture of distal tibia and fibula are noted. Not able to understand the above points and need to know if they are normal or is it cause of worry. Please help.
Avatar m tn My wife broke her small toe yesterday and we went to the doctor for x-rays, treatment, etc...Currently her leg is cold to the touch, from the knee down, but very minor color change. I think it may be due to her leg being elevated but doesn't really seem too likely. Is this normal for a broken toe? Should we go to the emergency room or wait for our next appt on Monday?
Avatar m tn Specifically, 11mm patellar override of the lateral ridge of the trochlea, avulsion fracture of the medial patellofemoral ligament from the medial margin of the patella, a 44 x 35 x 30 mm bone bruise on the outer aspect of the lateral femoral cndyle and trochlear hypoplasia support the diagnosis. 2. Large hemathrosis in the suprapatellar pouch is secondary to the patellar fracture. 3. 46 x 17 x 16 mm Baker's cyst What does all of this mean in non-technical terms?
Avatar n tn Believe it or not, my van ran over my leg 3.5 weeks ago. Long story short: I thought I had it in park, but it was in reverse. I got out and it started rolling away backward downhill & I tried to chase it down the driveway. I never made it inside & fell, getting my left left run over by the front tire. Ouch, to say the least! Miraculously there were no broken bones, but of course LOTS of contusions, swelling and pain.
Avatar f tn Last night we opened our backdoor to find a stray kitty (adolescent male). I noticed he was malnourished and gave him some milk and chicken (all I had for an animal). Then I noticed he was favoring one leg. I think it might be broken! I've called a few places and no one wants to deal with him, of course. They're just going to want to euthanize him instead of help him. So my question is this--- what do I do?!?!?!?!
Avatar f tn I wanted him seen ASAP because of the broken rear leg. The x-rays showed that the injury was about a month old and that it was already healed. It wasn't just a little break but the femur was actually snapped off. In order to fix it, they'd have to do a surgery that costs over $1500. Or... amputation (around $450- including pain meds). My question is--- do we HAVE to do anything? When we found him he wouldn't walk on the leg and I thought it was a new injury.
Avatar n tn I have not had a regular bowel ,movement in over 3 weeks. I have diahrea and even that hurts so much I cry. I am having shooting pains in my right leg. I can only stand for so llong w/out pain, and I can only sit o the doughnut for so long w/out pain. When I got my period it was hell. I felt pain moving from my sacrum to my front, was throwing up and miserable. lately, at night I get sick to my stomach and dry heave(which makes the back pain worse) and feel completly nausious.
Avatar n tn My 10 week check x ray had the rod broken where a month prior the rod was ok.I was off my leg with a boot on and put no pressure on my leg.What type of force could cause such a thing?I have no pain and did not fall or was not in a accident .Please explain any causes.Thank you.
Avatar n tn Two days ago I fell down my stairs.The top of my foot and both sides of my ankle are swollen and bruised. Yesterday I needed crutches to get around. Today I can limp around, however, it still hurts like crazy. I don't have any medical insurance. How can I tell if it's broken or sprained. I don't have or want to spend the money to see a doctor only to get sent home with a sprained foot/ankle. Please help. I have a 2 yr old that doesnt sit down for anything. I need this to go away.
