Official Beyond Cool Xrays and Injuries Thread

[broken_legs]

Due to some small interest I have created this thread so we can all post Xray images and pictures of cool injuries we have all sustained over the courses of our lives.


The Rules:
Pictures of Xrays
Pictures of other injuries (Bruises, cuts, road rash)
Must be YOUR OWN pictures
Add a brief description so we know what/how you hurt yourself

why did you have to go for a second ACL reconstruction? I have my surgery comming up in Sept and I really don't wanna do it twice.

Here is an MRI image of my back showing a herniated disc at the L4/L5 level.

I had surgery on it last Tuesday to remove the protruding portion of the disc. So far, my back feels much better but I have some numbness in my left foot. This is my second surgery on the same disc level.....the fist one being in March 2007. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't re-herniate again.

I can't remember one specific event that caused it to happen, but I'm sure lifting weights and being too aggressive on the golf course didn't help!

the one with the full screw is earlier this year before they attempted to remove the hardware after it started rubbing on a nerve and causing constant pain. The one where it's broken is after the doctor fucked up taking it out. Most of it is left and now I'm left with possible infection in the bone and metal fragment healed into the surrounding bone. Going for a bone scan and tests to make sure there is no infection then going from there....

The injury was from doing a 360 off a set of stairs that was about 10 feet high with inlines. Thought it was just a sprain being the little tough guy I was at 16 and walked on it for 9 hours. Doctor had no clue how in hell I walked on it for that long. It hurt like hell let me tell ya haha. Stayed in the hospital for 4 days for this one.

Haha I wish I had my X-ray like that.

Boxers fracture. I've broken my right pinky like that well over a dozen times now.
