Talk to the guy, he may be able to take care of it on the down low

I agree with Russell. There's a first time for everything.

I don't question your desire to keep the guy from getting in trouble, not because I'm standing up for him, but because it's important to you.

I need some advice. If you remember when I went to my prosthetist Friday before last he had me try this test socket with it only attached with fiberglass and glue instead of being attached with screws. The first step I took I ended up on the hard floor because it broke off. Well my side hurt a little on Saturday but now it hurts like I broke a rib. I don't want to get this guy in trouble with the company but I don't know what to do about it. Seems like it hurts a little worse each day. I know there isn't really anything they can do about a broken rib but let it heal but I don't know what I should do about the injury itself. I can put up with the pain but don't know if I should say anything about it to the company. I'm pretty sure I broke a rib I've had one before but I hate to get this guy in trouble. I know it will heal eventually. It's weird how it only hurt a little for the first 3 days or so then worse each day after. What do you think?
If it's getting worse it might be out of place & floating around. You don't have much left inside to help hold things in place, Legs. He prolly won't get in trouble since he probably noted the fall in the visit notes & reported it himself so they'd be covered just in case something like it happened. If you are in pain go to the Dr. Why do you always put it off? Pain increases strain on your whole body system.

Well at first it just hurt a little bit today is the worst it has hurt since I did it. It's not unbearable or anything but my bones are just covered with skin. I am so skinny I look like the people you see in pictures from prison camps, I weigh 145 with my legs on which weigh 7lbs each and I am 5'9".I put it off because it didn't hurt that much in the beginning.

Legs, darlin', please get it checked out. You have enough pain to deal with. I'm sure he won't get into trouble; it was an accident. Please, just go get it looked at.

Welcome back, glad to see you haven't forgotten your way here.

Hit the casino last night, went in with 100, came out with 200

Last stinkie 10/15/2013
My wife and I went on a motorcycle run from Halfmoon Bay to Reno. Our son had recently gotten out of the Navy, so he came along with us on my other motorcycle. That evening he called up to our room to see if we were there. He said he had won $100 and wanted to put it in the room so he wouldn't spend it. He was really proud as he had them give him a $100 bill and it was the first time he had ever had one. Needless to say, he didn't want to break the bill, so for the remainder of the trip, we paid for his meals and gas because he didn't have any other money. That was the best $100 he ever won. LOL

I think you should talk with him about it. He at least, needs to know that the glue and fiberglass is not a good way to secure the socket. AND go see your doctor. Pain can cause other problems and you don't need any more problems. :2c:

A broken rib rubs and gets worse before it gets better. If you want to try a home remedy that's pretty much what the hospital will do unless you also have internal injuries (doubtful because you didn't hurt right away) just get a wide ace bandage and wrap it tight. That helps hold the rib in place from moving when you do. If you think you need to go to the hospital by all means go. All you have to do is tell them you fell. Do they need details unless they ask. Of course the other doc Was an idiot who a little professional counseling probably wouldn't hurt. Good luck no matter what you decide. Sorry you're hurting again! :(

True. You have nothing to pad blows. They bounce off your bones. Not good.
