Help with hand injury

Thanks man. How do you get them diagnosed and treated if they don't show up in an xray.

Usually they do show in the X-ray,if not a quick shot of cortisone will make it all better for awhile. Some times the things just disolve on their own. Hurts like buggery until that happens though.
UNLESS YOU HAVE ALLERGIES THOUGH,if you have resperatory allergies do not let them hit you with cortisone,because you will be in a pit of hell that will make your bone chips feel like candy land.
Question for the day,why does no known bone specialist on earth show you the X-ray if its good news?If a sentence starts with,"as you can see on this x-ray" I know Im not going to like the rest of the sentence.And why the need to point out every single bone chip,like I won a prize. Doc Im paying you enough,I'll take your word for it,I dont need a graphic description with slides of how the inside of my knee looks like someone took a cheese grater and a hammer to it.

I've had cortizone before on the thumb though about 3 or 4 times so no allergy there. My friend at work had an xray and they didn't show. His girlfriend is a radiographer and they did a CT scan and it showed up in that so i'll push for the Dr to get a CT scan done for me. Thanks for your help.

I see a scope in your future,but who knows maybe you get lucky and they go away on their own,as long as they arent pressing something important you can actually just get used to them. But with the amount of pain your in,Im betting theyre sitting on something important.Oh yeah,if they put you on one of the higher end anti-inflamatories,dont make any plans for a few days,when they did for my knee,I was stoned out of my gourd for 3 days
Glad to have been of help,hope it all turns out allright for you
