Chest injury
« on: July 12, 2006, 11:47:03 PM »
It was a amateur mistake, and just simple carelessness, having said that, i'll begin.

Removing springs from a Dodge Caravan to to replace the bearing plates i decided, hell, take that nut off and the bearing plate will slip off, and it did....along with the rest of the assembly.  Luckily it went into my chest, not a foot up, into my face.  Anyway, as you can imagine it has caused some pain, but there is no visible bruise.  It just hurts like crazy, especially when i try to lift, take deep breaths, or move my arms in certain positions.  Is it possible that i bruised something behind the sternum?  I'd prefer NOT to see a doctor if this clears up in a few days.

Pete Conrad died from internal bleeding from a motorcycle accicdent that he thought was just something minor and didn't see a doctor.

See a doctor.

If that thing came off with as much force as I am thinking see a doctor. You might have some serious internal injuries and don't know it.

That's all the advise I am giving.

Wouldn't be the first time a  pneumothorax was caused by accidental blunt force trauma.

Good idea to go get looked at, if not to diagnose that possible collapsed lung, than to ensure any broken ribs that may have incurred won't have the possibility of causing one.

Strangely, there was an elderly woman last night that 'tore away' part of her diaphragm from just coughing repeatedly with pneumonia.

I don't know Mustaine, my chest is pretty damn solid.  If you hit the cavity just below the middle of the sternum, however, I will hit the ground faster then a speeding bullet.  Just pressing there with one finger I start to feel like the wind is leaving.



:O


get it checked bro, i cracked a rib about 3 years ago and it still hurts sometimes. got a small lump in my left side where the disfigured bone still sticks out to this day. I never got it checked for th first 6 months, then when i did they told me i might very easily have had to have a small surgery to take the splinters out and round off the sharp bits, but it is too late now.


never waste time getting ti checked, never know what youre dealing with exactly untill you do.

seems to me that you might have bruised some internal tissues and muscles.. thats not something you just brush off.. you could have damaged some of your lung tissue that could form some fluid.  get to the doc and let them do a chest x-ray to make sure that everything is in tact.. a straight shot to the chest from a compressed vehicle spring can do some considerable damage.

If you're dumb enough to look at a part that's holding a large compressed spring in place and then remove it without restraining the spring, you jut might make an early exit from this life due to easily possible worse mistakes.

Safety first allatime. I learned that from my early carreer doing field service on heavy equipment. Nothing as sobering as realizing you're doing aggressive stuff to a big machine aaaaaall alone out in the boonies somewhere and nobody will start missing you until tomorrow. Care beeful dood.
