Remember when I hurt my knee back in February? I found my x-rays today...scanned one in for the hell of it. You can't see any damage in the picture because ligament and tendon injuries rarely show in x-rays. You need an MRI to see the extent of the damage.

That's the sexiest x-ray I've ever seen! 131

I have a pic of inside of my knee when they were operating. They told me it shows the new ACL, but I can't see it. I'll try to find it and scan it.

pretty bones.

Bones ur kewl.

Dude, according to my VMRI software (Virtual MRI) you have a Chicken Walker burrowing in your bone marrow. I'd say that is what caused the damage.

hmm

Hire some Ewoks to take it out. I hear that sophisticated futuristic, heavily armored/weaponed mobile patrol vehicles can be easily defeated by cute, fuzzy, little midgets.

I remember you telling us that you were injured, but I can't recall the extent of the damage. What exactly happened? Accident details and injury details, please.

it's a typical case of infectious Barkertitis:

That x-ray was taken on my birthday...

Too bad I don't have any copies of the x-rays from when I broke my finger. They're nasty

Alright Tattoo, time to put me to the test.

Based on the X-ray, I see cartilage wear at the knee. (Of course) It looks like you are either overweight, an athlete, both, or have a genetic predisposition to the lack of cartilage. In either case, you do not have as much cartilage as I would expect from a person our age. (I assume you are between 20 and 30. If you are not, then you are missing that cartilage because you are getting older.) Did the orthopedic surgeon mention anything about that?

(Note, I really do need an MRI to really tell...I am just bored and want to entertain myself. Seriously, I need more angles on the x-ray. Do you have an MRI?)

Overweight. I remember, vaguely, being told something similar by my doctor.

Nah, never had an MRI, my work wouldn't pay for it even though I got injured in their store only minutes after clocking out. I have more x-rays, but nothing conclusive on any of them.

edit: Wait, I think I see it. Left to the thigh bone, right?

Yep, the x-ray didn't quite pick it up, but I assure you it's there.

You're capless? Whoa. I know a doctor who might want to meet you. His name is Professor Xavier, I'll send him your contact info!

The tech used to much "penetration" LOL. But honestly it looks to be clean, MRI is needed for further investigation of your injury.

Ps: I only play a Radiologist on TV.

According to my interpretive medical knowledge of the said knee, I recommend staying off of it for the rest of the millennium. I would need to do a cat scan to find other abnormalities.

I can recommend some activities that involve lying down 131
