Today, my doctor called and asked me when I could have my broken hand x-rayed again. I said the ER staff had told me it was a bad sprain over two weeks ago. I'm now in a full cast, and have to have my partially healed bones re-broken. There goes my summer. FML

Today, I went to the hospital to get a cast that I have been wearing for the past three months removed from my wrist. Thanks to said cast, I couldn't have any summer fun at all. The doctor took a final X-ray and said, "Well look at that, your wrist wasn't fractured to begin with." FML
Today, I finally got the cast off my leg after being unable to walk for 6 weeks, watching daytime TV or playing my husband's Xbox all day. The second the plaster came off, I tried to stand up, tripped over the doctor's foot and broke the apparently still not fully healed leg again in the same spot. FML
Today, I went to see the doctor for my daughter and myself. I fell two weeks ago, I thought I'd sprained my ankle but apparently I broke my leg instead. I’ve been limping around for two weeks. My daughter was sick, which is the only reason I got X-rayed. It may need screws. FML
Today, I tried a new workout routine at the gym. I was feeling great until I dropped a big-ass weight on my foot and had to go to the hospital. After hours of waiting, the doctor told me that I had a broken toe and would need to wear a cast for six weeks. The worst part? I have a job interview next week. FML
Today, I fell down the stairs and broke my arm. I went into hospital to get it put in a cast, but still went into school afterwards. I got written up for truancy because I didn't have a doctor's note. The cast was still on my arm. FML
Today, while helping a child through a tantrum, I was kicked and my hand broke. The bone is completely in half and fixing it will require plates, screws, and surgery along with months of recovery. Another day on the job. FML
Today, I was laying on the couch with a cast on my broken ankle. My brother thought it would be funny to shoot my cast with a high-powered pellet gun. It went straight through the cast and now I need to go back to the hospital. FML
Today, a nurse berated me for not being able to lift my leg myself so she could put a cast on. My leg is broken in two places. FML
Today, during my second shift back at work after missing four weeks for knee surgery, I stabbed myself in the hand and now need three weeks off for that surgery. Just as I'm up for a promotion. FML
Today, after slipping on my stairs and spraining my ankle, I got a brace and crutches at urgent care. When I went to get into my car, my crutch slipped on some paper and I fell. I crawled back into urgent care, only to learn that my sprained ankle is now broken in 2 places. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

when I'm out there splashing around in pools, or playing on the beach, I'll think about you.

The exact same thing happened to my brother, right down to the ER staff telling him it was a sprain, and the bones being re-broken. He didn't find out til 3 weeks later, and we live in Texas, or I would think he submitted this.

I too am from Texas and went to the ER for a broken arm that they said was just a bad sprain. Then 2 weeks later we got a letter from them apologizing for their mistake, and that my arm was actually broken. They said though that it was a clean break and it would be worse to re-break it to set it perfect so my bone's are a little off in that arm. I'm guessing this is a common occurrence in ERs now.

ok, why would you have to have the bones rebroken?
johnson94 5
because you do not want them healing abnormally..

because it was already partially healed, and probably not the right way. so his arm would be ****** for life. so they need to re- break it and cast it, so itll heal properly, they had to do that to my boyfriend when he broke his arm in 3 different places and it healed messed up.

because the bones began to heal incorrectly. they have to be re-broken, set properly, and casted to be held in place until they heal again. basically they began to heal crooked because they weren't straightened first.

because if they are not set correctly to heal you could have a number of bad things happen. some may just have abnormal bone structure or others may eventually develop diseases like cancer.

They probably didn't set right.

I love how five people in a row felt the need to say the exact same thing with different wording.
