Just back from A&E

What is an AC decompression? Something to do with the AC joint, not air conditioning gas?

Yup, both mine done now, as well as AC joint excisions to remove arthriticky bits.

Yep, they go in with a camera, and a drill, and stuff, and smooth the joint out - 3 holes in your shoulder, but it stops it clicking and crunching - let's the soft tissue run over the bones a bit better ( suppose bone grinding).

Sometimes they say you're better off breaking an ankle than spraining it. I dislocated mine 40 years ago and it's very weak and prone to going over.

Broke my ankle (doing keep-fit classes!) over 20 years ago and still get twinges, so I would say it's better not to do either.

Injuries are rarely 100% recovered from.

I was only shown it on a monitor, I don't have a copy. I'll ask for one when I go back for assessment next Thursday.

The RD&E in Exeter have a system where you send them a completed form for releasing your data, and they send scans and reports back on an encrypted CD-ROM, which is how I got my brain scans. It was a free service - there was no 'informal service' where you could just ask.

Incidentally, I just searched for the radiology dept., and the data release link was there.

Why's the top of your head flat though?

I half feel like trying to get hold of a copy of my CT scan from 2012, but it would probably only scare me again!

 

[briantrumpet]

Why's the top of your head flat though?

Because that's when they stopped scanning - no point in having slices of the very top of my skull - they'd managed to find my brain in roughly the right place. Incidentally, still suffering from PCS, five months in.

Hope it improve, sooner rather than later for you.

Got the top in on mine.

Thanks - I'll save my misery for another thread
