Wanna see what a dislocated arm looks like? (X-Ray)
13 years ago
I finally was able to get a copy of this x-ray and actually see it for myself today at my second physical therapy session. I never saw it while I was in the hospital and my PTist said she had it in her file, so I asked her to pull it up since I wanted to see it too! I then asked if I could snap a photo of it with my phone and she let me. xD

Warning, it made even me queasy. It's just an x-ray of my elbow though.
But yeah, it's back in place of course, but that's what I'm recovering from. PT is going great. I end up very very sore afterwards though. :(

Thats...
Thats just...
Okay, I don't think I can aptly describe what that looks like other than painful!
I can understand why it was a banshee scream! I look at that x-ray and my elbow aches!
Still, sometimes we guys are attuned to our love's needs and attentions - and sometimes we're just too sleepy!
hope it heals soon (if not already)
Dude, you should make christmas cards with the picture. XD
ART HISTORY YEAH.
It looks awesome, but really painful.
Oh, well. No pain, no gain as they say. >_>
And what I mean is, it's "just" dislocated. Meaning, it was a severe compound fracture, or indeed an open fracture. What pain meds are you on?
When it happened, I felt the bone pop out of place, which stretched the muscles and tendons in ways they weren't supposed to be. I'm sure you can imagine this hurt a lot. The arm remained dislocated for nine hours and during that time my muscles and tendons started to get used to being stretched and out of place. The longer a dislocation sits the worse it becomes. On a scale of 1-10 my pain when it happened was a 10 and remained so until I got drugs to sooth that pain at the hospital. Even then, it was probably around a 7.
OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
which is a bit less than you said.
I do hope you're starting to feel a little better!
thanks for sharing
