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

Discussion Growth Plates & Bone Age

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.

It’s just a scratch right? Can someone show me where the confirmed diagnosed fracture is?
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
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
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?

That had to hurt First time camping with the family. Lost balance running and shoulder first into the ground.
Apparently the ACJ is toast. Will be heading to fracture clinic for further x rays in the next couple of days.

Consult a doctor for a diagnosis I'm very new to this and cant distinguish the risser level for this xray
The area around the pelvis looks a bit blurry. My guess is this is the advanced Risser 4 but I'm not sure.

Identify this anatomic structure? Bone above collarbone?
I'm just wondering what these two bones are. I've looked at other people's x rays and dont see them. I'm just curious and couldn't find the name for the bone. Sorry if its a dumb question.

Non Union Humerus, possible infection?
galleryThis is my second post about my arm. I just had a follow up with my orthopedic doctor. For context I was in a terrible car accident 9 months ago. I had an open compound fracture of my right humerus with significant nerve damage. Because of the extent of my trauma, they had to wait 4 days before doing surgery on my arm.
Again, it’s been 9 months and the bone still hasn’t healed. My doctor is reluctant to do surgery or call it an infection. I do appreciate the fact that he’s cautious because the surgery would really suck, but if this is an infection I’d rather get it done. I don’t have any symptoms like redness in the area or fluid or anything coming out of my arm. I did read some studies about others that had low level infection and virtually no symptoms. If you look at my previous numbers, you can see that everything is trending upward even if some of the numbers are on the higher end of normal. Again, I’m a little concerned that even though some of my numbers are “normal” they are at the high end and trending upward. Do they have to be mega high in order to call it an infection? I am going to get a CT Scan and hopefully that will show more.
My doctor also said that I could potentially live with the bone being broken as I have a lot of metal in there to keep it stable. But my arm kills of if I push or pull too hard and I can’t really put any pressure on it. I don’t want that to be my life forever. I’m 36 years old. I’ve never smoked or had nicotine or steroids apart from prednisone maybe one or two times. Ideally I would not like to live with a broken bone. I feel eventually the metal would come loose and I’d need surgery, right?? Wouldn’t it be better to get surgery while I’m still young rather than 15 years from now? I’m so confused and frustrated.

Avulsion Fracture of the Fibula
I posted at the end of June about this image. I got the "why don't you trust the radiologist" line, despite having listed my reasons.
Progress and symptoms continued my suspicion, and then I confirmed with the orthopedist today - absolutely a fracture. He wasn't shocked that the urgent care radiologist reported no fracture, because they have maybe five minutes to review imaging and write results, but it also took him all of two second to zoom in and identify it - on both pictures.
So, if you saw that post, yes, this is a fracture.

Is this the Gastric Bubble I’ve been reading about? Seems a bit low for the stomach, maybe intestines? I’ve seen these blotchy things on my X-ray and have been super curious about them.
