Avatar n tn Hospitals generally require an x-ray of the chest, but feel free to refuse this if you have come in for hospitalization for a broken foot, for example. While one should not fear taking an x-ray for any reasonable purpose, there is no "safe" threshold for radiation exposure. Do not have an x-ray taken by a chiropractor. The x-ray machines in these offices are usually purxchased second-hand and are out of calibration, which means they provide more radiation than is necessary.

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 f tn When I was 31 y.o. I had an accident that left me w/ a broken femur ... leading up to days later a “ titanium rod “ being inserted into the broken femur . The initial days , etc. obvious moments of pain happened , over the years since then w/ the break eventually being healed = very ..,... minimal pain . In getting older = 64 y.o. now within the past couple of years thereabouts pain is reaccuring more & more , causing pain also in my hips and other leg .
Avatar n tn s probably not a problem, but it could be some clicking tendon between the two shin bones (tibia and fibula). Might be a good idea to go get an x-ray to see if either of those bones has a bone spur (due to some past injury, broken leg? are you a runner or other type of athlete?). It is possible that you have broken your fibula. That bone is not weight bearing and is the smaller of the two, so breaking it and being able to still walk is possible. Better go get an x-ray.
Avatar f tn Can a Thoracic aortic aneurysm be see in a back X-Ray? I am having severe leg issues. Can not walk across a parking lot without stopping from severe pain. Seen the doctor and sent me to a orthopedic doctor thinking it was something in my hips. Orthopedic doctor did not see anything in the hip X-rays, but did extensive back X-Rays in his office. He showed me a large spot on the X-Ray that was completely whited out.
Avatar f tn I can walk fine but I have an autoimmune condition that can predispose me to loss of bone density. Am I likely to need an x ray? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
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 f tn d love to have the question answered that it is likely gas in the X-part of colon or X part of my system and that this is common or less common, etc.?
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 m tn First thing you need to do is get an X-Ray to make sure you haven't broken any bones. Once that is done, a determination can be done as to the treatment course.
Avatar f tn Hello~It sounds like you are having muscle spasms, and your hip and lower back could be the cause. I recommend seeing a chiropractor, he/she will take an x-ray of the area and be able to tell you what is going on. After a few adjustments and some stretching exercises, you should start to feel a lot better.
Avatar m tn kidney and bladder x-ray sreen.Also on my ivp.kidney and bladder x-ray test my full bladder image color was i think dark grayish but the only bright white was the lump or the mass on the out side part of my bladder on the ivp. x-ray screen. Is this bright white mass that's on the out side of my bladder on the ivp. x-ray screen normal or is it a bladder cancer tumor.
Avatar f tn I had x-rays due to periodic pain in my rt. hip and lower leg. The results(impression)of the hip/pelvis x-ray are: {{Mild degenerative arthritic changes of the SI joints and pubic symphysis. Tiny benign appearing cyst of the left inferior pubic ramus. Radiographically normal bilateral hips.}} The "benign appearing cyst" concerns me. When my primary care physician's office called with the results of the x-rays, no mention was made of the cyst.
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.
Avatar f tn Go to the doctor or emergency room you may have broken it or it may be just a small fracture. An x-ray couldn't hurt. An ice pack will help with the swelling and pain meds for pain ( Advil is best over the counter med 400-800 mg or 2-4 tablets) if you are not going for treatment just observe it and buy a hand splint from a pharmacy and wrap it with gauze. If you notice that the pain and/or swelling is getting worse or if your fingers turn cold GO TO THE E.R.

Avatar m tn Foolishly and naively i accepted to have another Panoramic X-ray for my teeth( i think that he asked me to do another X-ray because he lost or didn't save the original image on his computer). So now that you read my worry, am i going crazy here to worry about it and am i exaggerating?? Are there any side-effects? Please i want an answer cause am a person who is stressed all the time.
