Quote HistoryQuoted: Go to a community college that does dental x-rays and get them to shoot it. Should cost less than 100 bucks. If they'll do it. See, like I said in another thread, it pays to have friends who are dentists. Then you can post the xrays on arfcom and get them read.  |

Quote HistoryQuoted: At least go to an urgent care and get it xrayed for cheap... that won't cost thousands of dollars. Then get an appointment with an ortho or hand surgeon as a follow-up. That will cost you a hundred bucks or so. The hands are what we call "high-dollar real estate." For most people, their hands are their life... especially if you work with them. At least go get some basic xrays. |

Quoted:
Quoted:
The main complication of a phalanx (finger) fracture is rotation of the bones on either side of the fracture, causing misalignment after healing. Not a problem when your fingers are straight but when you make a fist, instead of all of your fingers staying lined up,the rotation will cause the misaligned finger to go under the fingers on either side, depending on which way it was rotated before it healed. Hard to explain in words. Correct. A rotational deformity can be a significant problem, particularly for people who use their hands in their job. You can't make a fist the same way once you have one. Crepitus in a phalanx fracture? The OP doesn't mention the very obvious deformity that would accompany that. It seems more like a metacarpal. OP, get your hand looked at. |

Meh... I'm used to it. Every shift I work, I get patients who outright ignore what I tell them (generally to their detriment). Whatever. It's their body, they can do what they want with/to it. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quote HistoryQuoted:
im self employed with no insurance. locally it would be 1k to walk in the door 1k for the xray, and another 1k for the doc to look at the xray. Ya know what, for that kinda dough, you can Fly to Thailand for $1,500 Get treated at a decent hospital for $200 and still have $1300 left over for a TOTALLY AWESOME WEEKEND in Pattaya.
(*) hangover, loss of memory, and sore rear end optional |
