Umm so heres the xray of my left that i fractured Sunday.

Doctor at the ER said it was fractured.

Their official definition of this is "Non Displaced Volarly Angulated 5th MC Neck FX"

 

What do you think?

EDIT: I know they're the same thing, just different levels of severity.

a fracture is a partial break, and allows full movement

that looks like a very bad fracture, that wont allow much movement

if its broken, you can feel the space between the break

 

either way it requires a brace/cast and to be relaxed

its in a splint now. My appointment isnt until the 8th though. Plus this can also get me discharged from the DEP. So granted im nervous as all hell about it. Ive heard a few people flip out and say "oh youre gonna need pins that looks so bad!" but i think thats crap.

[TheCalliton]

probably just needs to be set then rested for a month

you'll be fine

ive had my share of breaks, so i know what im talkin bout'

[Harabec Weathers]

true, ive only broken one other bone and that was when i was very young. They hurt bad enough i tend to avoid them lol. This doctor i have to go to wants 260 bucks just for me to walk in the door. Not to mention I cant come back to work until i get a work clearance.

So all in all, im screwed until futher notice, or a win the lottery.

what do you do?

i bet a chiroptracter could set it, but i think going to the doctor is the best choice

[TheCalliton]

i looked at it wrong

that is a freaking bad looking break!

HOLY SH** WTF DID YOU DO!

(i thought you had dislocated the joint, i see the break now)

my god, that must freaking hurt like hell!

[Harabec Weathers]

Im in the Delayed Entry Program(DEP) for the Marine Corps and a hand fracture that doesnt heal right can get me discharged. Must have full range of motion with fingers and hands, etc.

As for my daily job until i ship out, i work at Autoway Chevrolet in the warehouse stocking parts. (the job sucks major *** and i hate everything about it)

Even though i hate my job, i need it to pay for my bills, but now they are telling me i cannot work until i get a work clearance that says (im able to return to work with no limitations).

I doubt i chiropractor would go near my hand without any health insurance. I cant afford it.

 

Things are just getting more and more difficult to keep together dude.

[TheCalliton]

wour going to be out for multiple weeks

 

i suggest you get a job that can be done with one hand

like a cashier or something

 

but ive had worse, i broke my collar bone in two places!

couldent lift my arm or my old laptop with my other hand

[Harabec Weathers]

damn collarbone is a wicked bone to break. i frend of mine shattered his back when i used to race BMX. brutal seeing that one.
