Hello Everyone
This may not be the right forum to post it, but there isn't a specific one, so I thought I'd post here and see what repsonses and direction I receive.
Here's a summary of event:
Sunday: Accident while tobogganing, landing the small of my back on the back of a sled from 2-3 feet in height.
Monday: Extreme side & stomache pain, so went to the hopsital to haveit examined, was worried I hurt something inside pretty bad. They decided to do a CT scan. During this scan, they hooked me up to an IV to pump the dye into my system for the scan. The IV was not done properly and my hand ended up getting pumped full of the dye, to 4X its normal size. They sent me home with a warm compress on it to help releive the moisture
Tuesday: Still no use of my hand, swelled up 2X its size, the hospital says as long as it's not hurting, there is no concern
Wednesday: Swelling is down, now only 50% larger than normal, I have the use out of most of my hand but a row of nasty blisters are formed on the back of my hand and wrist. My forefinger is constantly tingly and have limited use out of it.
Thursday: Still swelled a bit, but blisters are still there and my fore finger is still numb, tingly (as if it is asleep) and limited movement.
I have done research on this type of accident but can't find anything. The hospital staff has assured me not to worry, it will all recover, but I would like to find past experiences to gather some expected results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
