Sup b. So on Sunday i had 4 tables slip out of an suv and land on my right shin and i haven't seen a doc. Should i go?

See a doctor, OP.

i say no, just some really bad bruising

Massive hematoma. They'll probably give you some painkillers and tell you to keep it elevated for a few days to a week. I had one that was really fuckin' bad last summer, you'll want to rest it. I tried to work on mine for about a week and just made it worse.

AIDs

yes

You should defiantly go.

If you got a small piece of your shin bone broken off, and ends up in a vein or something, and ends up blocking that vein, you're in for some real shit, shit that would probably the most real shit to ever happen in your whole entire life.

just tape an aspirin to it faggot

Ive had worse, you will be fine, just keep some ice on it

They'll just splint it, so splint it yourself and stop being such a fucking pussy

Thats the dumbest thing I have ever heard

Don't be a pussy, tough it out

I'm a leg doctor and I can say with 97% certainty that leg needs to be amputated.

>small piece of your shin bone broken off
>ends up in a vein or something
>ends up blocking that vein
>you're in for some real shit

You know nothing

Message here, Unless you have a loss of sensation in your foot you should be fine.

Do what this guy said

OP here. To make things worse i stood for 3 hours at the Wu Tang Concert last nite.

Yeah, my first thought was "damn that's probably a hematoma," but I'm no doctor.

if the swelling doesnt go down in a few days then fuck yes, its infected. if swelling does down but u still cant use it, then fuck yes its broken. If neither no, dont be a pussy bitch weakling non-man shame on your ancestry and father.

hope u get better user.

Yes op. Go to the ER. As a person who is accident prone, it's better safe than sorry. You need to have it xrayed.

Go see about it op. Don't listen to random anons who never go to the hospital. Better safe than sorry.

I don't have shins, but if I were you, I'd go see the doctor. Life without shins sucks floppy donkey dick.

Your ankle looks slightly swollen and the hematoma seems to be pretty damn local. It might be a good idea to check out that tear because it looks like it's near infection, though the reflection makes it hard to judge.

All in all, it might be just a massive bruise, but your ankle could be displaced all the same.

Hematoma will go away in a matter of weeks, probably literally move down your leg.

How is xray going to change the management? It won't, retard.

If he's neurovascularly intact (which he is) and if he's bearing weight, it can't be any worse than a small, non-displaced fracture, so it won't need ORIF, just splinting, but you can go to Wal-Mart and buy a splint and put it on yourself and save money.

Before you do a diagnostic test, ask yourself if the results will change anything you're going to do. Practice of medicine 101, dipshit

Is there a possibility of a bone being broken but still able to walk and stand for 3 hours? I weigh 208lbs 5'11

>hurr durrr you have bruise
>might be infected OP, saw a tv show with a nurse in it once and they said infection
> trust me OP, go to doctor


Wtf is wrong with you retards? How does a closed, blunt, shin injury become spontaneously infected??? It doesn't, there's no source of bacteria involved whatsoever. It's painful watching you autistic retards try to pretend you understand a single thing about pathology and medicine.

yes because of the adrenaline, i'd go to sleep if i were u and put the ancle on a pillow (avoids accumulation of moisture within the tissue), if it hurts like hell tomorrow I'd visit a doctor

I just said he should have it xrayed. Going to a doctor is a better idea than self care.
Why are people on Sup Forums so defensive? Calm down.

Here's a different angle

>visible tear

>leg doctor
really?

Why the fuck not? Is this how life in America is like? I'm not baiting but do you have to pay a shit ton for visiting a doctor or getting treatment? My grandpa had a hip replacement, cost him about 150 euro total.

i think he had aids now

2mb size limit is very nice

obvious bait

First off, no there's not, even your eyes are retarded

And secondly, tear? Use a proper term if you're gonna try to talk about illnesses and injuries. Do you think you see a laceration? Abrasion? Avulsion?

It's like talking to middle schoolers after their 9th grade health class.

keked

leg / penis doctor here.

amputation of both legs and your penis is recommended.

Dude, i have an HSA insurance(provided by work/employee shared cost) and Xrays are still going to cost me $900 out of pocket

worth

Just go see about it. Or at least keep it elevated, put ice on it, and don't put a lot of pressure on it. If it hurts bad tomorrow definitely go see about it.

what kind of work do u do? does it involve frequent walking? tbh it might look gore but given the circumstances it might be swollen. I dont think its broken but it might either be bruised or (in the worst case) a severe ancle strain. x-ray won't add anything because your bones are not broken (x-ray only captures the bones) so that would be a waste of money

I guess you could say that that situation is quite...
OUTTA POCKET!
HAHA

Fuck man, that's ridiculous. I hope you're all right bro. America's healthcare is so fucked, literally third world tier. I wish you all the best though. Keep that leg rested, take care of yourself man.

Hey yeah, listen to this guy. He can't even put a fucking sentence together, I'm sure he's an expert on the diagnosis and management of MSK injuries.

holy shit u are such a white cracker Sup Forums, i can see u chuckling behind ur laptop with a weird laugh

It looks more dramatic with the flash on. But it hurts like a bitch. I can no longer walk. I am assuming it is due to standing for 3 hours a day after the accident.

Ice it than splint it. Take some pain killers if the pain is bad and try to elevate and don't put too pressure on it for a few weeks.

yea it looks strained, does it have any hard spots on it when feeling? the soft spots indicate a swolling

Yes

As long as it isn't broken I wouldn't. Ibuprofin and water, stay off your feet as much as you can for a few days.

Fucking idiot, if you want decent medical advice, post a decent HPI. If you can't bear weight, get it checked out and get radiographs.

What are you gonna tell us next, your foot is pale and asensate?

i think he's too late for icing, that only helps right after the injury and reduces the swelling

I work in a lab calibrating test equipment. So i can sit on my ass all day, But it drives me nuts. I don't think i have a choice

If you can move it, it's not broken. If so, you just have to RICE it.
Rest
Ice
Compress
Elevation

Thanks Sup Forumsro

Thats what im doing now. A buddy of mine said alternate hot and cold compress

u have to put ur ancle on a pillow while working to reduce the swelling - ur ancle is CLEARLY injured and this requires a long process of removing the swelling bit by bit - this means u must minize putting weight on it, massage it frequently to keep the blood flowing and put a bandage or a sock on it to maintain pressure to the area

>also this

also, the reason why u need a doctor is because u need someone to apply a bandage on it - u said u work with lab equipment but expect the workplace is not located near a hospital?

Well if you didn't HAVE to buy that new spiffy iPhone or computer, you could've invested it in your health and see a doctor! Do you even have a health savings account?

Nothing that a glass of whiskey and couple of painkillers can't fix.

any nurse can do this btw so u might be a lot cheaper off by finding a friend in medical care who can apply it for u, just put a bandage on it to speed up the recovery process

My wife and i opted out for the 1st time this year because our accounts don't roll over so neither one of us set money aside since we lost $700 each last year

~Nice advice m8 kek

can't your employer cover the expenses?

All we see is a bruise. Might have a cracked/broken bone, so you should check up just in case.

...

>can't see a doctor about a potentially serious injury because it's too expensive

God bless America.

They deposit $500($2k per uear) quarterly into a medical savings acct. But we used it to cover medical expenses from a car accident

Just amputate it yourself and save money

well the usa had this black guy who proposed a deal, but go trump right

He needs some milk. Just cut it off you'll be fine

Good. It's a good thing you don't just have universal single-payer healthcare. That's commie shit.

Yup. Fuck that nigger.

Of course, if OP lived in a more developed country like, say, Cuba, this wouldn't be an issue.

>infection only appears when a wound is open
This

Fucking dumbass if just a small part of his shin broke off and its bleeding inside (even just a small bit) could cause an infection and worse than that if he fractured the tibia without displacement could result in an infection that could spread throughout his body
And for the ones saying if he does not have any pain, don't go to a doctor.... Not having pain on a hematoma like that is a bad sign, might have compartment syndrome cuz of the swelling.

So yeah go to the doctor and don't be a Fucking redneck faggot

>defiantly
stop

I'm uninsured now and I was uninsured when the nigger was President too.

Just walk it off bruh.

I don't know if I want to start baiting and ridiculing burgers for this because people are literally dying and suffering because they have to CHOOSE whether to go to a doctor or not based on financial means.

On the other hand, a large amount of Americans seems to not want socialised healthcare because SOCIALISMS IS LITERALLY NAZISM or something. If they want to remain the laughing stock of the world, that suits me fine.

Bitchen tattoo, bro.

Yeah, they're called "lowerlimbologists," you goddamn undereducated mong.

I already told you Dutch faggots that I'm not a burger.

My moms leg looked exactly like that after hurting it somehow I don't remember. It's still partially blue now two years later and the skin is numb.

Is that legal? (I'm not from the US) Where I live there's 2 insurances you are obliged to have: Health and car. It's cheap as fuck though, 50eu/year and treatment is basically free for virtually anything.

it looks like just a bruise, but I would take an x-ray to see if anything is broken, even a hairline fracture

That's how your mom left my dick: blue and partially numb.

That's exactly why you should ridicule them for it. They consistently go against they're own interests. Obama wants to give us free healthcare? Naw, fuck that! Let's force him to dumb it down so we still have to pay and lots of people still aren't covered. Wait, what's that? This fucking lunatic reality tv star wants to repeal the already watered down coverage that Obama managed to give us, despite all our protests? MAKE THAT MAN PRESIDENT!

They're not fucking retards because they don't have healthcare, they're fucking retards because they're PROUD of not having it. It's really for they're own good to make fun of them, it's the only way they'll learn.

Not even a flesh wound.
Fag!

Don't wait til it gets like this OP, I did and it sucked. Ice it, elevate it, get meds.

And that's how I got raped by muslim refugees.

Im about to take an 800mg Ibuprofen, rub Arnicare, and bandage it.

Jeez bro, that looks bad af

Yeah it's legal. Obamacare did not give eveyone free insurance, you have to pay for it. If you don't then you have to pay a penalty. If you have no income, like me, then you don't have to pay a penalty. But that does not mean I'm insured.

Yes. Getting healthcare and paying people a livable wage will turn you all into homosexuals and hordes of rampaging Muslims will start raping all your women.

This is why every other country on earth thinks of you as the village idiot.

Go see someone. You don't want to end up with compartment syndrome. I ran over my foot with a supply cart a few years ago and shrugged it off. Ended up needing emergency surgery a week later to save my foot.

I was on crutches for a while. Still can't do anything on my knees, happened about a year and a half ago.

Good god. Every time I read this ctrl+c arguement it blows my mind. So the government is literally your only source of healthcare insurance? Fucking nigger.

Newsflash: Obama did not give anyone free healthcare you idiot

You literally have to be mentally retarded to be unable to earn a living and pay for healthcare here. And at that point you still get government assistance. Faggot

Really, where do I get this free healthcare government assistance?
