Injured Swing-arm vs. leg round two.

As many of you know September 6th 2010 I had a pretty gnarly accident where my leg got stuck between the swing-arm and rear tire on top of my exhaust pipe, and I had some major surgeries on my leg. For those of you who don't know here's a link to the first post I've done about this so I don't have to explain everything again because its a really long story. https://www.dirtbikeaddicts.com/threads/swing-arm-vs-leg.1354/
EDIT
For those of you who don't want to read all of that up there here's a video with a summary of what happened then, and an update of whats going on right now as of (may 6th)

No I didn't go back out and get my leg caught between the swing-arm and rear tire again, I was at school yesterday in culinary making some bomb food and out of nowhere the pin right under my knee popped out of place and I couldn't put any weight on my leg, well it went back in by itself about 20minutes later and I still couldn't and the pain was ever worse when I tried to, so I got picked up by a friend whos gone through paramedic/EMT training and he checked it out said it doesn't look like there's any internal bleeding so we went back to my house and called my orthopedic surgeon and I talked to the nurse because he wasn't available at the time. They told me that it sounds like I might of broken the pin and to go to an emergency room ASAP and to get x-rays, so I did and right now I am waiting on a call from my doctor to see what the x-rays said. There's about a 85-90% chance that I will need surgery again:(
 
Shit kid! you are having a stroke of crappy luck if thats the case. Sorry to hear that you "might" need additional surgery THAT SUCKS! Hope for the best little boy girl!....:lol: J/K I know sun just didn't know...​

Lol thanks did, and yeah if the doctors say that I'm fine and that I don't need surgery I'm probably just going to demand it because it has been popping out of place A LOT the past month, almost daily and I'm just sick of it and I'd rather just correct it now then have something worse happen later on down the road.

Dang that sucks. :(

What exactly is popping out? Is your leg broken again or is the pin just coming out of the bone? :noidea:

The pin is popping out, I didn't rebreak my bone, at least I don't think. I called my doctor yesterday and that's where I got the idea of the possibility of breaking the pin itself. When I went to the ER yesterday the nurse/doctor didn't tell me anything about the x-rays and didn't even look at my leg. Just gave me an immobilizer and crutches to hold me off until I can see an actual doctor. I did just get a call from them though and I have a phone appointment set up for tomorrow at 4.
 
Geez Vinay, if it weren't for bad-luck, you'd have no luck at all. Do you think it had something to do with that badarse tat you just got on your back? Is it possible that the ink artist tossed in some subtle voo-doo tat message? You know, some times they are hooked up with some Knights of Templar organization or even worse, some HOA - sneaky buggers. Anyway, hope you're healing up soon. :thumb:
 
sucks VINAY :( i feel for you.
Thanks Trav/: I was really hoping this wasn't gonna happen. :hug:

Seriously lol, I have the worst luck ever. As fort the tattoo artist giving me the bad luck.. Well geez, I'd sure hope not! I was a bridesmaid as his wedding last year :( I'd feel pretty betrayed if he did this to me lol.
 
Oh shoot, Now I remember who you are! My bad. Shame on me for forgetting! You are the girl who got her leg caught in the swing arm. I remember that!:puke:

What a bummer! I sure hope it can be fixed with minimal impact on the area but it sounds like surgery no matter what. Darn, so sorry girl friend. Hang in there!:cripple:

Lol its good girl, I tend to forget that it happened to me all the time lol. And thanks but yeah its sounding like I'm going to have everything taken out, my leg rebroken, and a metal plate put in(that's what I was told might possibly have to be done to me when I was in the hospital the first time if the current hardware was giving me to many problems), and well, it sounds like its giving me to many problems lol.
 
Well since this thread is about my journey to trying to recover, I might as well express my anger with how screwed up my Medical coverage is right? Right.
Okay well Friday I was supposed to have a phone appointment with a doctor at 4pm, nobody called so at 5pm I said screw it and called them and told them I was supposed to have a phone appointment but nobody had called blah blah blah, and I guess the doctor had called the wrong number and never tried calling the primary number on my account. :doh::banghead: But they set up another appointment but with an Adult Medicine doctor not an orthopedic specialist, and she just basically told me "Oh your going to have to wait until Monday to set up and appointment with and orthopedic specialist and take it from there." And when I asked her about my x-rays she said that she couldn't pull them up but to wait until I came into the doctors office itself and then they'll be able to pull them up. I was a little bummed that I wasn't gonna be able to know what my x-rays were reading that day, but no big deal I could wait until Monday.
Well, Monday rolls around and I try to get a hold of appointment/ advice line to set up and appointment, and of course I'm put on hold for 30minutes so I just give up. Call them back today, and this is what's really pissing me off. I call to set up an appointment today, and I get the run around of "what happened" "when did it happen" and all that jazz, well then the lady I'm talking to starts telling me that I never had any x-rays taken of my leg when I went to the ER on April 25th, and that I have to come in an extra hour early to my appointment to get these x-rays retaken so the doctor can have them for the appointment, oh and did I mention that they can't even see me until not this Wednesday, but the NEXT one, and that I was prescribed only enough pain killers to last me four days or so?
Yeah I'm pretty :bleep: pissed off at these damn doctors.
 
not to mention that every time you called and talked to this lame azz Doc that doesn't know chit about your case, she is charging you/insurance some consulting fees for some insane amount of money :foul: this is where I call :BS: and why our insurance is outragous and they are all driving Porches and BMW's I say phuck her and send her a bill for wasting your time :smirk:

For real though! Luckily for me though I have the best coverage you can get in the country so its not costing me anything lol, I rarely ever get a bill in the mail from the doctors other than the "this is how much you owe us___ and this is mow much your insurance is covering____" and 95% of the time its the full bill being covered.. Most we've ever had to pay since I got on this insurance plan was $2,000 but that's pretty damn good when the total bill was about half a million dollars :lol:
