I broke a piece of a bone in one of my legs once and the doctore really pushed it back and foreward, justy to be sure, it really was broken...!<BR/>It's because of these kind of things taht I don't even bother seeing a doctor these days, unless the bone is sticking through the skin or something like that!<BR/>Re the pain: perhaps your wife opr kids could give you some massage to help you relax?<BR/>I also don't use painkillers etc. <BR/>For one thing, I don't like doping off, still prefere to be in present time and confront it and the other things is, because of taht attitude, they don't work very well on me; one time I had been giving so much morphine that they thought they would kill me and still it didn't have much of an effect against the pain... so I personally feel that dealing with the pain mentally is a much better thing to do. Try, if at all possible, see it as a friend rather than an enemie and try and feel how the body is doing it's job, is actually on its way to heal the broken bones.<BR/>If you really wanna try something new, you could check out "natural hygiene" on the net.<BR/>I imagine, this might be the very last thing you are interested in, but if you have a diet without salt, sugar or anything unhealthy, it becomes a whole lot more easy to handle the pain.<BR/>greetings from Denmark, Sarah sofiaLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13314160080172957748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16443701.post-55498061359249724132009-03-01T11:43:00.000-05:002009-03-01T11:43:00.000-05:00No pain meds?

Bank more on 1, to 1 1/2 hours. That 30 to 45 is about the time it takes for 'em to calibrate the damned thing!<BR/><BR/>Ask your doctor if a vertical MRI machine is available as an option. Or at the very least, if sedation would be possible on the standard flat-table version?<BR/><BR/>I can't do the flat version, either. My hips and legs are already so banged-up that it's not 10-minutes before I'm in agony.

But even more, I'm really relieved that the diagnosis wasn't worse than it is. You are so lucky to only have broken four ribs!!! I know, you're probably saying "easy for you to say" but sheesh, so many other things you could have broken and really, REALLY have been laid up for a long time -or even worse, might not be here, able to write this much about it. <BR/>Just try to rest, relax as much as is possible with the pain and all that, and heal up quickly then. Keep the reports coming though so we know how you're doing. Okay?Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.com
