I am going to have an ultrasound.

Its scary, I hope the doctor gives me good news.

i hope you get good news.. may you and your child be healthy. 😄

NO... I am not pregy 😂

Its actually an injury on my left leg due to repeated leg kicks and since its non fracture It has to be done in ultrasound instead of an Xray. Theres a bruit that can be palpated whenever I have a valsalva maneuver. My trainer told me not to fight/spar until I get my leg fixed.

It's an ultrasound...

srug

.... on a leg....

Scary....

ermm

maybe its a small floating piece of broken bone.. had one in my ankle it had broken off, it would click when i walk..i refused surgery b/c i didnt trust the military surgeons. it went away on its own body probably just pushed it out somewhere else.

I had an ultrasound to check to see if I have gall stones.

****ing hurt like a god damn shit ****er.

Had to bury it deep into my tissue to get a picture. With full force, the ultrasound **** dug further and further into me.

Hmm?

Reasons its scary

1) NO HEALTH INSURANCE (my work/health insurance has not kicked in yet) Meaning this will burn my savings/checking account

2) I cant do what I love. (MMA)

3) I cant lift weights/exercise (since the force of my body pushes blood outside of the vein or into interstitial space. (may cause DVT/Phlebitis and increase the chances of having heart attack/stroke if left untreated)

4. Herniated vein with sharp pain during standing/walking

SO YEA ITS FUKIN SCARY

Lesson learned: Stepping back to avoid leg kicks is much better than checking leg kicks.

1. Haha, you live in a country with silly health care.

4. That's what the ultrasound is for... Diagnostics.

That's gonna be a *****. Ultrasounds are like 4 grand a scan.

Man, you guys get done... The scans are practically free for the hospitals to do.

The equipment is ridiculously expensive, though. As is the training to properly read the results.

results are in.

Gonna be broke for these 2 weeks. (due to expensive kaiser permanente hospital services) 🙁

superficial hematoma. (no fighting/avoid being kicked on legs. i can do technical drills. if i have to fight, I MUST DO SOUTH PAW STANCE not orthodox) 🙁

lift few weights but limited not to have valsalva 🙁

ibuprofen bid + stocking compression + heating pad (MD orders)

What a relief! 😱

A scanner doesn't cost that much really, it's one of the cheaper pieces of medical equipment... and s single machine can be used dozens if not hundreds of times a day. An average ultrasound scan takes no time at all.

MMA will be gay since I have to wear this.

its not a hose. its a venous compression stockings to prevent blood pooling inside my leg. I will look like a cross dresser while wearing this and kicking butt in MMA 😆

And it's still expensive. And the scans are only quick if the person doing it knows what they're looking for and can quickly interpret what they're looking at.

My aunt's a radiologist. I know a teeny bit about this sort of thing.

Holy shit you pay 4000 USD for an ultrasound?

You guys definitely get bend over and taken to brown town...
