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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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 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, 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, I had a plaster cast removed from my arm. After telling the nurse it felt like the saw was cutting my skin, she tells me there is no way that it could touch my skin and that I was being paranoid. She cracked open the cast. Burns, blisters and bleeding skin were revealed. FML
Today, I re-dislocated my arm trying to get it out of the cast it was in because I didn't want to pay the $50 dollar fee to get it taken off. 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, after coming home from the hospital after I fractured my foot, I fell in the bathroom and dislocated my wrist. The ER doctor couldn't stop laughing. FML
Today, I finally got my cast taken off my leg after a long month of crutches. I was so excited, until four dead spiders fell out. FML
Today, as a treat to myself for completing my exams, I dyed my hair rainbow. In the process of dyeing my hair, I managed to roll over my foot, causing severe ligament damage in my foot and ankle. It's likely I'll end up with a cast. Goodbye summer. FML

If you have the evidence , you have a lawsuit.

I would definitely try to get my money back. All those doctor bills & expenses. So much money wasted because they screwed up. People are suggesting you sue them, but I would try to call your insurance & the office where you were treated. Work something out.

Thats a long amount of time to have a cast for just a fracture. I broke both bones in my wrist and only had a cast on for 2 weeks. however it was recommended i didn't do any heavy lifting for a few months

You should sue!!! Surely, a jury will compensate you fairly for all the handjobs you missed out on!

Actually that's what a lawsuit is for. It's not meant to be a "screw you" it's mean to be they screwed up costing you financially so they should reimburse you.

A X-ray cannot see afracture. Your doctor should have told u that get a new one asap..

you realise that's exactly what x-rays are used to show, right?

They are not 100% reliable your proof of that😂😂😂.. Next time get (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or a bone scan and fire your doctor.

Dang, I had a cast on my wrist for four months so I can definitely relate. At least it’s off now and you can resume normal life, good luck!
