Bone Fractures Not Showing on X-rays - Steriods Posted: 10-31-07 00:40am
Hello, i am a 43 old woman, that has
contunuis problems with my broken bones
NOT showing up on extras.. It has happened
5 seperate times. For the last 8 weeks, i
have shooting pains up my right hand @ the
right wrist bone, it feels like a sever
pinch. I had broke my leg 1 time and it
was confirmed because it was a bad break.
This injury hurts way worse and when i
twist my arm its brutal sharp pain up to
the elbow. I have been on very high doses
of oral, iv and in hailed steriods for
over 20 years. Bone density has been fine,
but this hand has now crippled me.. any
advice from you i would love to hear..
Right now its wrapped in a tensor, that is
the only way to keep the bone from popping
out of the socket at night. i extra showed
nothing, but it was the wrong angle...
help
if you have any ideas.. i need this arm
for christmas!! thanks ww

Can you please explain me more about your
bone problems?
Did you break your bones five different
times and the fractures didn't show on
X-ray?
What kind of injury you suffered each time
you had a broken bone?
Do you know under which diagnosis you were
treated for 20 years?

Individual Breaks Posted: 10-31-07 12:56pm
Hello, i had tripped and broke 3 bones in
my left foot while wearing heels, they
xrayed 4 times, no broken bones to i went
to pysio therapy for over 3 YEARS!@@## and
develped a huge growth on the area of the
broken bone. Finally saw a specialist and
they said"oh its a cyst" call after the
new year and we will take it out, so i did
Jan 2 called and arrange for surgery, at
1st the doctor was rude while going into
surgery, after surgery, he apoligized and
said i had 3 broken bones in my foot that
they couldn't see!
2nd time broke a rib when they dropped me
off of an exra machine, they couldn't see
that one either. There were other times as
well. I fell down 2 stairs and broke my
leg, that time they could barely see the
break
I have been on prednisone off and on for
20 years due to poor lungs, don't give up
if u feel u have a broken bone get and
mri, thats what i will do . I have had
bone scans and things looked good, but now
i am not so sure. This injury feels worse
than the broken leg, its a pinching
feeling when i twist my hand, same feeling
i had when i broke my leg??

What was the mechanism of your arm's
injury?
Which part of your upper limb was most
injured?
Do you have swelling of your arm?
Can you notice some obvious deformity of
your arm?
Do you have reduced movements?
Can you ask your doctor to refer you for a
x-ray exam?

Yes Yes Posted: 11-01-07 12:22pm
?1 wrist bone right hand, straining the
pinky fingar, send shooting pain up my
arm.
?2 upper limb is strained like tennis
elbow, its getting better.
?3 yes, wrist is swollen @ the site
?4 yes the bone on the right side of wrist
is swollen.
?5 majorly, i must wear a tensor bandage
all the time, other wise it feels like my
wrist bone is popping out of the socket,
especially at night.
?6 yes i had an x-ray but they x-rayed the
left side of the wrist, it should have
been x-rayed right side, or maybe is
should pop the darn bone out as they are
x-raying?@#!@

What have you been told for the wrist and
pinky finger?
Do you doctor think you have strained your
hand?
Do you find very hard and painful to move
your hand and fingers?

Nothing has been told about the pinkie and
wrist, but when i twist either my hand or
pinkie to the right, it sends a searing
pithing pain thru the right side of my
wrist.
?2 no, i would have to see a bone
specialist and that takes up to a year
here!
?3 yes to the hand, and pinkie and ring
fingar.
I definatley strained my elbow, tennis
elbow, ecept i was making 100 muffins for
the crew. must run busy day!

Do you have insurance to cover an extra
examination like CT scan or MRI for your
hand?
Do you have severe pain with pale, white,
blue, or cold fingers or hand?
Is your finger, hand, or wrist twisted,
bent out of shape, or out of its normal
position?
Do you have numbness or tingling in an
injured finger, hand, or wrist?
Are you experiencing pain that increases
with movement?
