I have a Question

[Guest guest]

I am just wondering if anyone else has had screws put in to hold a bone

together, and if so, has anyone had the screws work their way loose? I

broke a bone in my hand, lengthwise, 3 yrs ago, and had to have plates

and screws to hold it together so it could heal. They are still there,

but lately I have noticed a knot on my wrist about where the screws are

, it is sore and hurts to bump it. I am just wondering if it is possible

that the screws are working their way loose, anyone else had this

happen?

I have screws and pins in both feet and have had them in for about 15

years. My feet used to hurt where the screw was at but nothing more

than that. They never felt like they were coming loose or coming out.

Sorry, that probably doesn't help you much. An x-ray or something

would be able to tell ya.

Thanks everyone for your answers. I saw my Chiro today, and he sent me

for an x-ray. He does think maybe that it is a cyst tho, but possibly

that the screw is loose too. Will find out tomorrow or the next day.

1. While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the

dr.

Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well

as to

certain health conditions or just dangerous in general.

2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls

don't be

afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that

Another thing, my Chiro said that he has something that (a natural

remedy) helps some fibro paitents.

He said he would bring it to town (he has two offices, and it is at the

other one) on Thursday when

he comes back here, and let me try it for a month. If it works, I pay

him, if it doesn't help me, then

I owe him nothing. So how can I loose, I am willing to try this. I will

let you know.

I haven't had it happen, but know a couple of folks who have had it happen, and had the screws and plate removed. Did fine afterwards.RiverPeggyb wrote: I am just wondering if anyone else has had screws put in to hold a bonetogether, and if so, has anyone had the screws work their way loose?
