Avatar n tn was unpersonable and borderline rude when he told me he needed to keep her and xray her. He said she might have a broken back (without emotion, his lack of empathy is appalling.) I and my son are very concerned for her, she is more than a pet to us. What will the quality of her life be if her back is broken? Will we have to put her down? I need to try to prepare myself and my son for this. A response is greatly appreciated.
Avatar n tn I broke my C1 2 weeks ago, the break was half of the horseshoe, on my right side it was broken crossways, I am in a hard collar and the doctor didnt give me hardly any information at all, Im afraid to even sneeze, after recieving a blow to the head I still walked all around, even moved my head back and forth trying to pop my neck, had no idea it was broke. I am extremely careful and will remain so, I am wanting to know the seriousness and if this collar is normal treatment.
Avatar f tn You should be out within hours of surgery. I went into the ER expecting to find out I had appendicitis, ended up I had a 10x11 cm dermoid cyst in my right ovary. I went into surgery a few hours later and was out before lunch time the next day. They just wanted to make sure I had a bowel movement and could get around a decent enough distance. After the surgery, you should have a post-op appointment to make sure things are healing well and discuss what was done and such.
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 leg makes this crunching feeling when you touch/move it, the vet also said she felt that but said it was not broken bones. If not broken bones then what is it? And how long should I expect it to take to be better? I know with humans it can be around 6-8 wks....is it the same with animals?
Avatar f tn I am going to have surgery quite soon for my herniated/broken disc. I wondered how long if anyone has had this, how long is recovery? I mean how long for pain? WIll I feel great right away and be able to do normal things? Now, a relative who thinks they are the only one with pain and mostly lies, so I don't know whether to believe them or not said our grandfather had the surgery and was up literally dancing right after surgery that day.
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.

1722077 tn?1311052238 Thank you for the information, I sure will try that at this point I will try anything. They wanted 1,880.00 to do 1 tooth and I couldn't afford it so it has broken now. It's ashame when people try to plan their life and then get disabled and things don't turn out like you expect.
Avatar m tn Hello, I was in a motorcycle accident, broken pelvis and some torn muscles in my leg. I had a Foley catheter inserted and left in for 3 and a half months. I was astonishingly able to void after the catheter was removed on my own. Not very much at all, maybe 1 to 2 oz. However it's been 48 hours after and i'm now voiding exactly 8 oz every 2-3 hours. I drink only water, 5-6 cups a day (10oz). I'm getting mixed answers on every urology website I review.

408496 tn?1269603350 This is my third and I'm almost 37 weeks and not dialated at all. Every one is so different. I'm sure it's fine. I go again this morning and I have a feeling after the stressful week we've had with our little guys broken leg and all the contractions I've had, I've probably changed a little too! Yeah- you're almost there!!!
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 It is also a very deep shade of blue and hurts when I put the slightest pressure on it. Is it broken or did a blood vessel pop?
Avatar f tn I got hit in the face with a softball 11 days ago and am still nauseous. Cannot stand on one leg with eyes closed, and have forgotten things like PIN numbers, passwords etc. is it too soon to expect these symptoms to be gone, or should I go back to the drs. I did also break my nose, which was realigned under local anaesthetic 6 days ago. No LOC. No actual vomiting.

Avatar f tn I was hooked up to pitocin at 6:10 am, water was broken at noon, my son was here at 5:04 pm. It all just depends on your doctor, hospital and their procedures. Best to discuss it witj your doctor!
Avatar n tn Still having irregular contractions. How how after your waters break would you expect your midwife to check you? Mine has just said to wait till contractions are 3 mins apart. Also how long after your waters break did you start having regular contractions? my waters broke while pushing my son my last pregnancy.
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?
