Injured myself today. Was benching 235 with a thumbless grip (which I will never do again) and it slipped out of my hands, banged my forearms and fell on my chest.

Does it look broken? It hurts, but nothing too crazy.

I HURT MYSELF TODAY
AND THE YEARS START COMING AND THEY DON'T STOP COMING.

Dis nigga ain't got no health insurance lmao

>>76423708
I do, but this isn't really an emergency.

>>76423698 (OP)
Go to the damn doctor and ask for PTO for a medical emergency

>>76423698 (OP)
If you’re in the US some urgent cares have the ability to xray and it will cost a lot less than emergency (this is how I found out my toe was broken after dropping a weight on it). You may have to select a time slot for the urgent care location online before you go.

I hope yours is just badly bruised and you don’t have anything broken or fractured.

It looks bent out of place you idiot

>>76423698 (OP)
That's Kaposi's sarcoma anon.

>>76423726
Thanks for the tip. All the Urgent Care places are closing right now, but I'll try to get checked out tomorrow.

>>76423745
It just looks like swelling to me.

>>76423882
On both sides?
It looks like half his forearm is pointing a different angle

>>76423816
Yeah do what that anon says. You may want to call ahead and ask if their xray tech is in if they have it.

Sorry for hijacking your thread but I got this weird mole sticking out on my back, it was normal the last 20 years. I don’t know if I injured it while benching or pressing hard against a bench. Should I go to a doc or is this normal?

>>76424292
just leave it anon I'm sure its fine :)

>>76424292
Looks like a normal mole to me, but the pic is low quality and I'm not a doctor.

>>76424292
Common misconception, moles don’t exactly “turn” tumorous, they either start a tumor or start a mole. It’s not impossible for it to change, but no more likely than anywhere else on your body. New “moles” are a concern as they may be tumors, old ones growing stranger is you growing older.

>dat feel when people are hurting themselves lifting your warm-up weight

>>76424321
That amount weight can hurt anybody if it slips out of your hands and falls on you.

>>76423745
Its swelling. How dare you call him an idiot and proceed to BE WRONG in the same goddamn sentence!
>>apologize

>>76424325
if you're gay

>>76423698 (OP)
uhhhh your shit's fucked bro

>>76423708
my whole senpai aint got health insurance. you can just ask the hospital for the no health insurance rate and pay for shit directly instead of paying your cut to the health insurance jew. then you can put the money you would've spent in bonds and make a profit just like the health insurance jews do with your money.

>>76423698 (OP)
>thumbless grip
Did you know how this grip is called before you lifted?

>>76423698 (OP)
Go get an x-ray dumbass.
And yes that does look fractured.

>>76424310
well, BBMs (Big Black Moles) are riskier than regular moles, just from the pure numbers game of them having a really high number of pigment cells (any cell division = could trigger cancer)

>>76425174
well do you think this is BBM? >>76424292

>>76423698 (OP)
its fractured (or it looks as such)
just get a brace or tape it up, dont rly need a doctor unless you notice issues with movement or feeling
ice it, post pic after ice with swelling decrease or increase
t. paramedic

>just get a brace or tape it up
That needs reduction you retard. The bone is bent out of place. If it heals this way his forearm will be crooked for the rest of his life.

You fractured your radius congrats bro

>>76423698 (OP)
Stupid suicide grip retard

>>76423723
NEETs don’t have health insurance or PTO

>>76423698 (OP)
Get an x-ray, with luck it's just a bad bruise. The lack of intense pain is a good sign but it's not definite.

Okay dude,
>can you move your arm and your hand (even if painful)?
unlikely a fracture
>squeeze the place where it hurts, do you feel a crack?
unlikely a fracture
I dont see any big bruise, also, if you dont have any it is not very likely you have a fracture

The best way to tell, however is an xray, but if all of the above points to not being a fracture, i wouldnt even order one

OP here, just got back from Urgent Care where I had an X-ray. Thankfully no breaks/fractures, just contusions.

The swelling was just giving an a illusion that my forearm was crooked.

>>76425606
Thank goodness. Take some time off from lifting

>>76425606
Ok good

From your picture it look like the bone might have been fucked

>>76423698 (OP)
So grateful for tards like OP learning things the hard way so the rest of us can learn the easy way

>>76423698 (OP)
You have a cubital fracture. When you move it and it hurts like hell, it means it's broken.
You'll need a reduction (someone to align your broken bone, preferably an ortho to do this) and you'll need a cast. Depending on how bad the injury was, you'll probably need a plate or some screws to put it in shape.
Go to the hospital, retard.
