OK wiki doesnt really tell me...can anyone from personal experience tell me exactly what a BONE EDEMA is and what it means?

Posted by Capstern Nov 26 '12, 14:55

Nurse told me this was an issue in my ankle but then couldnt explain it and Dr isnt seeing me for like 2 more weeks

- was looking for more anecdotal...as google just gave me same thing over and over and no real insight into what it means - Capstern Nov 26, 14:57 28
  - it means your ankle hurts. - groiny Nov 26, 14:58 27
    - the term bone swelling sounded very ominous... -- nm - Capstern Nov 26, 14:59 26
      - It's not You'll be fine with some rest. It could take a month or two to heal. -- nm - Krusty Nov 26, 15:01 8
        
        from what I am reading, it depends what is causing it. it's a symptom of something else. -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 15:02 7
        
        Yeah. I just read below it wasn't an injury like I assumed. Rest isn't likely going to solve his issue. :-( -- nm - Krusty Nov 26, 15:03 3
        
        they said the scoping would b outpatient (like when they scope someones knee) -- nm - Capstern Nov 26, 15:04 2
        
        the one piece of advice I can give you, is that when surgery is involved, always get a 2nd opinion. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 26, 15:08 1
        
        Well if they get the comp claim reopened I will HAVE to get a second. If I do the scope it wont be done by this doc..I will get referrred out -- nm - Capstern Nov 26, 15:11
        
        I think thats why they want to scope it (also fluid and "binding tissue" was the rest - my finacees daughters think its funny to keep - Capstern Nov 26, 15:03 2
        
        you should punch her in the mouth. - groiny Nov 26, 15:04 1
        
        I actually worry the 3 of them working together might have just enough crazy to take me down like a pack of zombies lol -- nm - Capstern Nov 26, 15:05
      - your ankle isn't going to explode. -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 15:01 16
        
        has felt like it would every day for almost 2 years - but got ya -- nm - Capstern Nov 26, 15:02 3
        
        so it is a chronic condition, not an emergency, and you probably won't need amputation. - loosilu Nov 26, 15:03 2
        
        yes still love you too :) -- nm - Capstern Nov 26, 15:03 1
        
        and if it does, I have the 'Pegleg' name here :) -- nm - peglegpete Nov 26, 15:05
        
        how do you know? - groiny Nov 26, 15:01 11
        
        that's true. My foot exploded like a zit when it became infected.... - Remlik Nov 26, 15:03 9
        
        yes, I remember the pics. -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 15:04 8
        
        oh no. those pics were not pictures of the explosion. that was early stage of that infection.... -- nm - Remlik Nov 26, 15:06 7
        
        I didn't get explosion pictures? - loosilu Nov 26, 15:07 4
        
        YGM -- nm - Spawn Nov 26, 15:11
        
        nope. It actually happened in store at 5:30. - Remlik Nov 26, 15:11 2
        
        things you cant unsee -- nm - Capstern Nov 26, 15:13
        
        wow. -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 15:12
        
        she was talking about those OTHER pictures of you exploding. - groiny Nov 26, 15:07 1
        
        Spawn never has a camera on him -- nm - Remlik Nov 26, 15:07
        
        damn. better put a blast shield around it. -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 15:02
call the office back. you have to know now -- nm - peglegpete Nov 26, 14:56 15
- Only upside to all of this was I have been saying for two years that post surgery it wasnt better - Capstern Nov 26, 14:58 13
  - Oh, this is a lingering issue. I thought it was from an injury not a surgery. -- nm - Krusty Nov 26, 15:03
  - what was the surgery? -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 15:01 1
    - I had sheared off a piece of bone in my ankle - they went in took it out and then also had to remove a bunch of - Capstern Nov 26, 15:06
  - it sounds like you need a new doctor -- nm - peglegpete Nov 26, 15:00 9
    - Thats the odd part hes supposed to be one of the best - but a year of cortisone shots..and no relief - Capstern Nov 26, 15:01 6
      - cortisone is for when they don't know how to treat the cause. -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 15:03 3
        
        well at the time made sense they thought it was inflamation in the tendons...so we did 3 in the top of the ankle - Capstern Nov 26, 15:07 2
        
        inflammation caused by what? if it keeps coming back, they're treating it wrong. -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 15:08 1
        
        Well now I know. Sigh. At this point we will see if comp will reopen the claim...they should - its degenrating and the MRI proves that and I will - Capstern Nov 26, 15:14
      - if you are getting a year of cortizone shots, he is not one of the best. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 26, 15:03 1
        
        yeah he's not. after about 3 shots in the same area it just doesn't work anymore. Get a new doctor. -- nm - Remlik Nov 26, 15:04
    - hilarious. - groiny Nov 26, 15:01 1
      - ug. I hope so too. -- nm - peglegpete Nov 26, 15:02
- tried. Closed -- nm - Capstern Nov 26, 14:56
