any doctor type people?

[Ben.]

when i got an x ray done on my hand they said it was too blury to tell whether my thumb was fractured or not. If its fractured how long will it take them to figure it out and call me back in? And if it is fractured will i need a cast? Any one know if i could tell if its fractured or not?

Thanks

Smack it with a hammer as hard as you can, that way you can be fairly certain it is fractured

Take your gloves off for the next X ray.

If broken they will not do more than strap it. ie immobilise it.
So you will have one girlfriend less for sometime.
You may need anti-biotic cover if they still recommend that, but I am not sure.

Stop going 100mph already, these darned x-ray machines can't take it!

On a serious note, when I fractured both thumbs, they said they couldn't tell, but even if they were fractured the treatment was just to strap it up, so they put some of that hard elastoplast stuff to strap them up for 2 days then that was that.

Try doing both then attempting an archery tournement the next day

Just broken my scapoid which is the same area AFAIK, most pressure surrounding it will be unpleasant and requires a solid cast for 2 weeks, then some lighter cast for a further 4 weeks. During this period starting now dont put any pressure on it or try to support any weight with it(I.E, using it to get up). Rest it us much and best as possible for better recovery. Oh, and get a decent X-Ray done.

Sit still next time. If it was blurry it is because you moved when they were taking the x-ray.

That said, the radiographer should have taken another one if there was blurring on the film.

I went privately for an x-ray 4 weeks after leaving hospital with a pain in my wrist.

They x-rayed it and found an 8-way fracture in the joint - the same as if you poke your finger through an iced over pond/puddle.

Go somewhere and get it done properly.
