GOT PAIN? Show us your metal work!

[MacGuyver4.2.0]

I HATE winter anymore
...nothing but more pain for me. Luckily I have some heavy hitting Indicas to soothe me at the end of the day when I can barely walk anymore. Oh yeah, STAIRS suck too!

Here a couple pics of some of my metal work, (with me the rest of my life) Maybe they can pawn it when I die.

i have almost the exact same plate in my leg. along with 13 screws. i'm going in next week to talk to my DR about having it removed. the bone is healed and there i9s no reason for it to be in me anymore. the plate, that is. it hurts.

woah...that's what I have! 13 long screws and lotsa metal. Thye told me they *might* take out a couple of screws in a year or two but that the metal has to stay! Was 148k worth of work (or so they say) and said it would cost more to remove it now....

Hope you can get yours OUT... I hate mine! I'll hity my vape a few extra times for YOU tonight!

Hey guys, I dont have any pics, but my brother who was in the Marines with me, got shot in afghanistan. The bullet shattered the ball at the top of your femur where it connects to the hit. The bullet then richocheted (spelling?) downward and snapped his femur clean in half. The x-rays i saw at the hospital were crazy. Also, I shattered my face in a car wreck and had to have reconstructive surgery done twice. The right side of my face looks about like your leg xray wise. lol

here goes mine, ...

I got a metal tube in my liver. Tips shunt. Works like a chinese finger trap. They slide it in down a vein in my neck and then when it is in the right place they pull on it and it opens up to the size of a finger. No shit, it makes the blood bypass the liver which is scarred and needs replacing so as to not back up its cleaning function. No shit, every few months wihtout it my esophagus veins were exploding open with too much pressure. They stapled those shut. This is not my pain condition. All shit, lol, I got from drinking. My weed smoking thing is boring nerve damage. You guys ever wish they would just make poppys ever to grow. hehe.

fell 28 feet from a telephone pole about 5-6 years ago, haven't had any xrays but i know that to this day, my back feels like shit.

 

[fdd2blk]

i'm going to see my DR tomorrow about having this all removed. it hurts, BAD.

im lucky no metal but i got a problem where the lower half of my leg is twisted in the knee joint makes my feet twist out hurts my knees like a son of a gun if i walk through wallmart for 30 to45 mins im hurtin enough to almost cry

 

[Katatawnic]

Wish I could just have the painful parts removed, but they haven't put me on the official list for a body transplant yet.

But was wondering if your Dr. said you can get your metal removed? Just wondering. I know I cannot, another guy I know was able to have his removed and built a sculpture out of his.

yes, once the bone has healed there is no need for it anymore. i got xrays and a referral to the ortho DR. i go see him in 2 weeks. it will be out by the time i'm ready to get back on my seadoo.

fdd2blk- Hope it goes well for you, good luck!

And yes the screws can stick out of the bone... nasty stuff. I have 3 of my 13 sticking out in mine. Gives me the creeps whenever I accidentally bump into something. I can hold a golf ball in the divet in my leg where the skeletized metal framing is. Maybe I'll make a video of it, LOL. Wanted to have Tiger Woods T-off from my leg on the one of the tonight shows...but he's all washed up now I'd say. That's about the only neat thing I can do with this... other than have the TSA people at the airport freak out, LOL
