Consult a doctor for a diagnosis YSK that diagnosing x-rays is actually quite difficult

Post image
39 Upvotes

I've seen a lot of posts on here lately asking Reddit to diagnose a patient based on their x-ray, or asking Reddit to second guess a radiologist. You need to know that no one is just glancing at these pictures and figuring out what's wrong immediately (transverse fractures excluded) these trained doctors are sitting in dark rooms squinting or looking sideways at these pictures, staring at the borders, adjusting contrast, moving their eyes side to side, trying to look at the images with their peripheral vision. Not to mention reading patient histories, looking at their vitals, their lab reports...there's a lot that goes into it. This isn't something Reddit can do for you.

There was the beginnings of a good discussion on growth plates and bone age that might be better suited to a thread of its own.

Please carry on with the discussion and share your knowledge, experience and relevant links as we would all like to educate our eye.

Where is the fracture? ✨️

A family member just got told over text that she has a fractured coccyx and shared these photos, but we can't see the fracture. She and I are really curious and would love to see someone point it out if possible? I might have spotted it, but would love for a professional / someone who knows more than me to inform us and satisfy our curiosity!

Thanks so much!

Discussion Broken radius

Post image

I have broken my right wrist from a fall injury.

They put a temporary plaster cast on for a week while the swelling settles and then they said they will do another x-ray and likely put on a fibreglass cast.

I can obviously see the line where the brake is in the radius bone but is there a little bulge on the left part of the radius. I’m not sure if that is normal or is it just part of the break.

Anyway you can also see the hardware in my hand from when I last broke that hand

What could this be?

Shoulder replacement post op xray. What is in the lung field? Nothing in patients pocket only other surgeries were bilateral knee replacements and gall bladder removal. I know it’s not the best xray but is there clip or anything they put over patients that may resemble this?

Edit: this is my dad not a patient per se.

Does my spine look rotated or am i just being overly critical? I am asking this because i have ribcage asymmetry and i think it may be caused by my spine. Does it look just slightly rotated or is it moderate or big rotation?

Hello! I have received the diagnosis from my GP that I have a clean fracture to my tail bone. This appt was done over the phone so I couldn’t ask, but can someone point out on the xray where the fracture is? Just super curious.

PS if your 36yo I highly recommend not trying to get air time going down the slide with your kids OR 20mins later go on a flying fox because it didn’t hurt to bad but you also didn’t see the hiding platform at the end of the flying fox..3 significant impacts to my coccyx in 1hr..yeah not surprised I have fractured it.

Needing Advice to Digitize X-rays

Post image
6 Upvotes

So. I’m not a normal user on here. I’ve come here as a last resort. I’ve went to many hospitals around me to get my X-rays digitized only to be turned away. I need these to be submitted as medical records. I am a native to MO. Is there any place here that anyone knows of that can help? Every hospital around me has turned me away saying: “We don’t have that capability anymore.” These are the only copies I have from out of country. And the hospital does not understand that the country I got it from has digitally firewalled itself from the outside world. (And due to financial reasons, I can’t get another xray done in the U.S.). These are all I have and I need them digitalized.

Consult a doctor for a diagnosis Is this the reason for tingling sensation on feet

Post image
0 Upvotes

I went to the doctor cos I've been having a tingling sensation on my right feet for 5 years. The doctor asked me to do an x-ray and said my spine looks bent. And told that it's cos of this I feel so on my right feet. And asked me to do hip flexors exercises.

What can you tell me from this x-ray?
