Sniffie Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Got admitted on Thursday for which they thought I had pneumothorax! Had ECG and lung x ray. Discharged Friday! How long before I get back on saddle?Real bad service from panorama medi clinic!You will have to provide more detail. Even our competent resident hub doctors won't be able to give a prognosis with the sketchy details provided. For example; how old are you? When did the pain start? Is the pain constant? More importantly though; what did the specialists that observed you in hospital had to say?
J trailx Posted September 21, 2014 Author Posted September 21, 2014 Sorry. 31yrs had sinus surgery 3 weeks ago. Got sudden sharp pain in arm to fingers. Left side chest started to tighten. Went to gp she did ECG, gp called hospital. Nurses did ECG blood pressure and sugar. This was around 5/6 pm. Sat and waited till 8pm, I had to ask nurses when doc is coming. They called him, nurse said to prep for surgery! I was shocked to hear this without tests been done!Was given voltaren injection,sleep tablet and pain pills. They then put me on oxygen overnight. Around 8am woke up doc was telling nurse not pneumothorax and I must get x ray to be sure. Went for X-ray at 12. Nurse came at 2pm said doc is busy and he can't come. Nothing on X-ray so they discharged me. Hope that helps..
DJR Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Think you should CHANGE your doctor :angry:Fixed it for you
Paul Ruinaard Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Mate if you got pneumothorax you have a collapsed lung. That is pretty serious. Stop worrying about your bike and think about getting well.
Pulse Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Simple answer:Stay off the bike and away from training untill you have a definitive diagnosis or has been formally cleared.Just 'cause its not pneumothorax doesn't mean you should just jump back on the bike.If it was bad enough to go to the doc, its bad enough to ensure you are 100% before you start up again.
V12man Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Could be any one of a lot of things - call a cardiologist sharpish is my recommendation. If your chest pain returns before you see one, go straight to an ER. And stay off exercise till you are cleared to by a competent professional.
J trailx Posted September 29, 2014 Author Posted September 29, 2014 So I went to see a cardio surgeon... All clear for heart and lungs. Seems that I've got a nerve spasm in my neck! Doing some physiotherapy which is helping. Thanks for input.
Malpiet Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Glad you okay take it easy, physio drains you, well in my case when I come back from physio I feel more tired i know it sounds weird but its true..lol
J trailx Posted September 29, 2014 Author Posted September 29, 2014 Agreed! After first session I was in hectic pain, but felt so much better the next day.
Guest dirkieuys Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Glad you are ok. Also had some very bad service at medi clinic. Then went to netcare and found the nurses could not even take my daughters temperature. Shocking
J trailx Posted September 30, 2014 Author Posted September 30, 2014 Must say had sinus surgery at Cape Town medi clinic and it was great. The staff and doctors where most helpful and super friendly
