Getting a CT scan privately
Discussion
Hi
Many thanks
MRI is not possible as I have a lot of metal inside.
The CT is needed as the NHS service I have received has been terrible. I need closure.
I only needed an operation as a result of a cock up made the first time round.
I slipped on a pillow on a wood floor, landing elbow first through a champagne glass. It was almost a comedy moment, like slipping on a banana skin - I fell hard enough to break my elbow twice whilst travelling through the glass.
The elbow has been opened up, the glass removed from under the ulna nerve, the nerve transposed, and the joint washed out.
My belief is that glass instead of washing out of my elbow, has been washed down to the bottom of the joint - causing a limitation of movment.
Hence the need for CT.
Ultrasound does not show the lead free glass.
Many thanks
