Pic of 6 Screws in shoulder

[snellemin]

I fell of my Sector 9 Bamboo skateboard. I usually run it off or roll it out. But I didn't roll fast enough before I hit the concrete road. I hit a rock or something and my skateboard just stopped and I flew off it. Here's the thread I had before--http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24065

I have plenty of spare parts now.

Titanium hop ups should be on your RCs, not yourself.

I hope the pain and discomfort go away very soon for you. I had a lot of screws and a bar put in my ankle when I broke it. I can relate with your pain there bud. The screws I had were on either side of my ankle right under the skin, I could feel them. I banged the side of my ankle on a concrete pillar after wards building a deck and it broke the skin, exposing part of a screw head. It grossed me out so a few weeks after, I went under the knife again to have this hardware taken out.

Did you at least get to keep the hardware when they took it out?

I still have one screw in my right ankle. I use to have two, but they took one out back in '95. If I remember correctly, the doctor charged my insurance 10G to take it out and it only took 15 minutes. I have one rod and 3 screws in my left femur still. Fun times when the weather gets cold. I had busted up my bottom lip once and had it stitch back together. It was cut in two piece and just hung down. Not to long ago I took a fatty mass out of the back of my neck and I'm still paying for that one. My Health insurance sucks and good coverance is unaffordable.

It's because of Asshole Dr's like him chargeing $$ like that to the Insurance Co's is why normal hard working guys like us all can't afford the better Health insurance. That pisses me off .

They have to charge so much because assholes like to sue doctors over anything and everything so the insurance companies (which never lose money, they are only in business to screw people out of money) raise their insurance rates way high. Doctors have to charge so much in order to pay their insurance...and their massive student loan debt for those whose parents didn't pay for their education.

Went to the doctor dude again today. I actually have 7 screws in my shoulder. That JB weld spot is actually another screw. I don't need the sling anymore, but no heavy lifting for next 6 weeks.
