I have been walking around with 4 broken tows, 2 fractured fingers and

a fractured hip (right side, three places.

The Doc looked at me and wanted to know how I was going around so long like this. I don't know.

1. I can understand about the toes,

while it might affect your balance it is possible to get around without really noticing them. The fractured fingers is little bit more difficult to understand, particularly if you are using a keyboard or cash register. However, while I never had a fractured hip it is a bit of a surprise that it wasn't noticeable.

If it is possible, try to take some time off from work to recover. I'm amazed that you weren't feeling the aches and pains with the changes in the weather.

I hope you get better since I know that you've had a difficult time over the last few months.

3. They think it is due to my PTSD.

They think that I have been in such a state that my head refused to feel the pain. But the Ulra Sound they have been doing is making the nerves in the brain start to work right. Thus is why I am now, finally, feeling it.

I never heard of such a thing.

As for work, they have me doing office work till I feel better. The Boss loves that I have experance in ordering and bookwork. He hates it.

For typing, I never was good with my left anyway.

22. it is a survival mechanism 2ndary to ptsd

i have the same. it may also be described as a high tolerance for pain along with an ability to block pain.
as i age, it seems i have reached my level for pain tolerance.

some animals have the same. they mask when they are in pain or suffering any type of weakness so that they are not preyed upon.

2. Take Care of You!!!

[Lady Freedom Returns]

4. I am.

I still can't believe I have been going around with three fractures in my hip.

The hand is a little more recent. I know how that happened. And I have been wondering if I hadn't hurt it.

5. I've broken toes before, not a whole lot you can do about them

Sounds like you were in a bike wreck or something.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

9. They are sure some of the hip was from the car that hit me a while back.

but one looks a little older. They want to do some other thing to see.

The tows, I have no idea. The left hand, I had to hit a guy recently. Contrary to what another site has written about me, I am not that kind of woman.

[Packerowner740]

20. Had to hit a guy? Ouch, be safe.

[rudolph the red]

6. Broken tows? Ouch.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

10. yeah, still not sure when I did that,

[Joe Shlabotnik]

7. I shrugged off a broken jaw

until it got infected. Thought it was just a broken tooth. Alcohol helps.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

8. So does Tylenol and Codeine!

[Joe Shlabotnik]

YES INDEEDY!

[Packerowner740]

21. I've got a standing prescription for Vicodin for a back problem

That usually takes care of most of my pain. Even the broken toes I've had. Ran them into the footboard of my bed. Didn't know the toes were even broken until they turned purple.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

25. Mine never turned color.

I don't even know when I did it.

[In_The_Wind]

13. Ya gotta stop kickin' and punchin' things.

and no fair hitting something with your hip either.

Darn. You gotta stop getting hurt.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

18. But he was asking to get popped.

And yeah, I do. They think the hip was hurt when that car hit me. It was not checked due to me complaining more about my head.

They are going to run a scan (I can't remember what kind now) to take a better look. Doc thinks one is a little older than the other two, could be from May 22, 2011.

Wonder how long that date is going to haunt me?

[intaglio]

14. This is not a diagnosis

Have you been checked for bone density? - it might be worth it.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

15. It is one of many test they will be running on me in the next couple of weeks.

I am scared. A lot of tests for a lot of stuff.

[shenmue]

16. {{{LFR}}}

Get well soon!

[Lady Freedom Returns]

17. Thanks!

It will Take more that this to slow me down!

[greytdemocrat]

23. Keep on truckin!

We don't want to lose you. But take it easy too.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

24. Thanks!

I am just surprised that I have gone as long as I have!

[CherokeeDem]

19. At least....

you now know why you were hurting. Getting all those tests is a good thing... so sorry you were in so much pain but you're so right, Tylenol and codeine work wonders.

Take care of yourself!

[Lady Freedom Returns]

26. Thanks! I will.

I am just trying to get my head around how I was walking around for so long like this
