  • Okay so I got scaphoid broken when I asked my boyfriend to pull me up from the floor when i was drunk, and I know it is very hard to find but i went to a and e 3 times and had 3 views of my wrist done each time hand flat fingers closed, open and like a chop action and they kept telling me it wasn't broken i was working on a paediatric ward for 3 weeks opening medicine bottles and tablet bottles, drawing up injections, feeding babies and changing nappies, I explained this but just gave me splint and bandage. Because of persistent pain had a bone scan 10 mins later on way to plaster room, after cast came off had an injection in wrist for pain causing my veins to be more noticeable in my wrist the colour not prominence. Now gives me gip now and again, the other wrist I completely wrecked broken distal radius and ended up with ORIF procedure, worse pain of my life, you can see the procedure online it is gory, Open Reduction Of Internal Fractured Distal Radius. Fascinating what they can do but my wrist in sometimes constant, sometimes intermittent pain work that one out.

    What a coincidence - I mentioned taking my neighbour to hospital today - it was to have a cast put on as after two x-rays with no broken bones showing, she was finally scanned and her scaphoid was found to be broken. They couldn't plaster it there and then as she had driven herself and couldn't get beck to collect her kids any other way! Today it has all been sorted. :)

    I think some people go about using the word misinformer to discourage the newbies from doing it.

    Pretty sad pratice but most people know it now. This just proves it.

    I think it's just a light-hearted way to say that not everything that people post (newbies, lurkers or regulars) is always accurate. Nobody says it negatively, well I don't see it that way. COT's smileys are funny. I hope nobody takes being labelled a misinformer seriously anyway.
