Dullscalpel Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 First Break: http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss153/Patch-elicious/first%20break_zpsyyobzs2j.jpeg?t=1490173738 They put a plate in, said don't fall on it!!! So I fell on it...... This is the second break. ER: http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss153/Patch-elicious/FullSizeRender_zpszy737h0d.jpg X-Ray: ER Doctor at Sandton Mediclinic wanted to send me home like this and said that Dr McDonald my orthpod, would see me in 2 weeks, I told him to get ******. (I will still write about Dr McDonald not looking at my X-rays properly even after I asked him too, as I was suffering from bad pain. Turns out that right at the top of the X-ray report they mentioned 3 fractured ribs.... I was only told this by my physio 10 days after operation.... orthpod kept telling me there is nothing else wrong ) http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss153/Patch-elicious/IMG_6937_zpslf4wdyh3.jpg Souvenir: http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss153/Patch-elicious/IMG_6634_zpsnlusx4sq.jpg Was back on the IDT 4 days later.

Got back on the bike outside yesterday, 3 weeks to the day after Op.I had a similar experience back in '96, but in the platteland, not Sandton.... I cracked L4 and L5 during a bad fall playing hockey. The pain was intense. Went to hospital, had x-rays taken and was told by the attending dr and radiologist that there is nothing wrong. I played in pain - swallowing 2 myprodols and having a voltaren injection with every game - for a year. My back became so spastic that I woke one morning and I couldn't move without vomitting from pain. Rushed back to hospital for muscle relaxants. Got an appointment at a sport specialist (she was the olympic team dr at the time) in Pretoria the following week where she looked at the x-rays and said I was not supposed to run, turn or whatever because my two vertebrae is cracked..... It took me months of proper rehab to become mobile again. Back then there was no such thing as complaining to the HPCSA. All the best with the ongoing rehab Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
