Cracked Rib !!!!!
Hi All, Just wondering if anyone else has cracked a rib couching after having chemo and rads? I recently had a bad cold and cough and it seems that i have cracked a rib having a coughing fit!! I went to the Drs a few weeks ago and they gave me anti infalmmatories and said if no better then have an XRay . Well no better so had Xray and got results this morning and turns out cracked 11th rib! Now i have to get a chest CT done and Bone Mineral Density because of my history. Dr said last years bone scan was clear so i hope and pray its not spread to my bones . Started to stress a bit now and to make things worse Hubby is away in the UK as his Mother is seriously ill. I have not told him yet as he has enough on his plate without worrying about me. Thanks for listening and take care all of you lovely people and have a good weekend :) <3
Broken humerus
I had a mastectomy and lymph nodes removed over four years ago and have now broken my humeral bone on that side. Am wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if the bone healed without surgical intervention. Since the removal of lymph nodes I find that even the smallest cut to that hand or arm takes a long time to heal. Orthopaedic consultant doesn’t seem to think this is significant but I am not so sure. It’s only been four weeks since I fell breaking the bone so am not expecting a rapid miracle cure but if I knew of others who travelled this road I could maybe relax into a lengthy healing process. Thank you in anticipation of any useful information or experiences.
