Avatar f tn In one, someone ran the red light (mine was green). Left me with broken spleen and a broken kidney and a bunch of cracked ribs. I made a full recovery with no medical intervention. In the other, I was on a motorcycle. A car coming down this mountain road, with sharp and twisting turns, could not negotiate the turn-too much speed- and cut me off completely. I actually had an N.D.E. then. From the scene that I "observed " from up above, my lifeless body was a real mess.

Avatar f tn t hurt me, but I knew immediately my ankle was broken as it was swollen. I have some of the posts about it and it scares me that it may not unite. What is the general outlook for this type of fracture?
Avatar f tn Hey at 20 weeks I posted that during my anatomy ultrasound they found calcium deposit in my babys heart "bright light" ...I spend most of my pregnancy worried and heart broken  just thinkin of the possibility of having a baby with DS... Well I'm just updating... I had my baby boy June 7, 2012 at 12:44am it wasnt an easy labor but it was normal delivery ...I spend 3hrs trying to deliver him...
Avatar f tn But the baby had the legs and feet curled up in between so it could have been the leg or foot bone. I honestly think it looked like a foot bone. I looked up pics of the girl anatomy and none of the pics I seen looked anything like what she showed us. Idk she's the tech I guess but now I gotta wait and see if my doctor will want to take out the ultrasound machine at my next appointment and see if she can get our little love to open his/her legs.
Avatar m tn I was in a half cast, basically on the back of my leg and below the foot for a touch over a week, so I was unable to move my ankle and leg and was on crutches. Then 2 days ago I went to the outpatients department and the doc took the cast off me and told me to start walking on it with the aid of crutches as it isn't the weight bearing bone. He said that the bone will heal by itself without the cast and even with me putting a bit of pressure on it.
Avatar f tn s doing 300kilo leg weights and he was finding when he was doing both legs together one leg was doing most of the work. His strongest leg was getting stronger and his weaker leg was just as weak as before (ok not quite for the same reasons) but he spoke to his trainer about it. Now he has dropped the weights by half and only works the machines one leg at a time but does the same number of reps (15) as before.

Avatar m tn First, it is essential to know that what unusual symptoms you are facing after broken screw. It may be possible that broken screw can impinge nerve and lead to some neurological symptoms. Please consult to a neurologist for a detailed approach. Hope this helps.

2177976 tn?1342045640 Normally drs will order the anatomy scan at 18-20 weeks to determine health of the baby and that is also when you find out. I had my anatomy scan early at 17 weeks and my sister found out at 14 weeks... So it just depends on your dr. But safe to say 18-20 weeks normally.
Avatar f tn Hi ..right leg broken severly after 7 months no improvement in bone..
1542537 tn?1293207098 Hi, broken bones take a varying amount of time to heal, mostly depending upon the type of bone broken, the age of the person, and the way in which the bone is broken. Larger broken bones, for example the bones in the thigh, or both bones of leg would take a great deal longer to heal, usually six weeks to three months in the average healthy adult. Begin physical therapy as soon as is practical. That will help.
Avatar f tn I am a virgin, when i fineshed i saw two tiny brown spots, does that mean I have broken my hymen?? They didnt look like blood at all. I am very concerned.. I live in a society were breaking the hymen means virginity loss!!
Avatar m tn Probably not a way to fix it, but I'm sure you are fine. if you get erections and can orgasm, you will be fine.
Avatar n tn I am finally able to do a straight leg raise and kick my leg about to some degree but do continue to have pain. I continue to walk with a limp. My orthopedic surgeon recommended I see a physiatrist for evaluation. The result of the exam suggested I may have damage to the femoral nerve vs muscle disuse.Im wondering about the tests for examining for the nerve damage-what they would be and if that might be helpful? Are there treatments that help this problem?
Avatar f tn Has anyone broken their pelvis during pregnancy? I broke mine in a car accident years ago and never had any problems with my first baby. This baby dropped at 28wks and my dr says he is almost certain this baby has broken it again. I'm scheduled for csection next week, which is a huge relief with the pain, but he said it could take 6-12wks to heal. Was wondering what other peoples experience was? Did it get better after delivery?
Avatar f tn Tomorrow ill be 18 week and have a anatomy scan what can I do to help get my baby hyper to open up it's leg lol
Avatar m tn my son had nenmonia which led to ostomialitus and a broken leg. this was all eighteen months ago. he is now 3 and a half years old but still walks with a very stiff leg and can not walk up and down stairs with out putting his hand on his knee to use as a support or for leaverage. he has recovered his muscle lost which happened due to his broken leg. His pediatrition has no answer to this stiffness, walking issue...
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 m tn I would also try to straighten it out throughout the day by putting it in my left pant leg between my pants and my leg. Anyway... it still works fine now it just has a slight curvature to the left. My question is could there still be complications associated with the fracture or do you think I'm fine? Also do you think it's possible that my penis did not fully develop to it's full potential size due to the fracture?
Avatar n tn Tibia is the shin bone that bears most of the weight and the Fibula is the splint bone located on the outside of the lower leg. In the case of a closed fracture there may be swelling and discolouration due to the large amounts of blood that emanate from a fractured bone. The usual healing time for a mid-shaft Tibia and Fibula fracture treated with cast immobilisation is 12 to 16 weeks.
