My son broke his radius 2 inches down from the wrist and the bone is 30 degrees off and they said zero intervention. Allegedly, he will grow it straight…

Idk baw. Pretty sure these drs are making shite up as they go.

Found your problem…

Yeah, that’s non-op absent gross syndesmosis instability in a high level athlete. Tell your wife and her friends to leave the clinical decision making to the physicians. They’ll love that…

Depending on how far south he is he may need to add some cayenne, garlic, and bell peppers to that dirt poultice.

Suck it up! Jack Youngblood played in a Super Bowl one week after fracturing his fibula.

a malfunctioning pool ladder had me looking like a gif from the fail gif thread. Leg caught between rungs.


Unless this is a subtle brag that you have a pool in your backyard, you need to sue the guy that was hosting the pool party. Not only for your medical bills, but also your pain and emotional stress.

This is a good point. You need to lose as much weight as possible before the trial. If you go in looking obese, the jury will think you broke the ladder. If you go in fit and in shape, they will think the pool party host didn’t properly maintain his ladder.

It's my pool, I guess the liability would go to the installers. Some screws were missing and what was there was not properly installed, wasn't an issue until it was.

I ain't a big enough baw to worry about busting ladders

shite happens, not going to go after some Hispanic dudes because I'm going to limp for a week.

I'll hobble down there and fix it properly today so it doesn't happen to one of the kids.

Your wife’s nurse friends are dumb. It’s like a broken toe or tailbone. You can’t really cast that unless it’s down in the ankle. They don’t do much for fibulas.


He needs a cast to validate his limp and constant bitching

I don't know about how a fibula heals.

However, your probably limping etc.
Take care to stretch your back, hamstrings etc.
Walking around with a fricked up gait can do a number on your body. Can throw all kinds of other shite out of whack.

Yeah I broke mine two years ago and had to wear a stabilizing brace and take it easy for six or seven weeks. No hard cast or surgery since it wasn’t displaced.

It's a non weight bearing bone so no cast is standard i'm sure
