slo’s THURSDAY 3/30 poll - X-Rays

[slo]

When was the last time you had an X-Ray?

ETA - not including dental X-Rays

For Me…..It’s been awhile - before COVID.
I’m going to be having one soon, which is what inspired this poll. I’ve been having an ongoing ankle problem that needs to get figured out.

 

[Meriweather]

Earlier this month.
Fractured hip in January so got an x-ray on a follow up with surgeon

 

[PollyannaMom]

Last time I had one was probably 2004-ish? I tripped on my front steps and had to get my left arm checked out.

 

[prairie_girl]

2017. I had to have a chest x ray before I could start a specific medication.

 

[LoveSpringsteen]

2021. I had an arm injury and had some lingering issues with range of motion. That ended up resolving with the passage of time, thankfully.

ETA - I’m not counting dental X-rays which I had done in 2022.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Pretty regular for me at very least yearly because of my stupid neck and spinal injury - then they like to throw in those MRI
I got my teeth done last year - over zealous dentist - took a ton of X-rays - like more than 20 - I swear he must of got every tooth every which way he could
I had knees done once a long time ago - I will say those were the most uncomfortable X-rays I’ve ever had done not painful but very uncomfortable

Thanks for bringing up the dental X-Rays, I didn’t think of those.
I now put in the original post to disregard those

I think 2014–foot and ankle.

 

[Dan Murphy]

Late last year, 2022, chest x-rays for pneumonia.

 

[Kitty 34]

Last June when I fell on wet cement and sprained my ankle real bad. Still have issues with that darn thing!

 

[scbruno]

Foot Xray last month. Had severe pain in my foot to find out the tendons were tight.

 

[tazdev3225]

A week and 3 weeks ago. I fell 4 months ago and sprained my ankle. That was one of my dumbest injuries because I fell over the mail left on the step instead of in the box. I had the good luck to fall on uneven sidewalk last week and sprained AND fractured my ankle. I am getting tired of wearing a boot.

 

[TCRAIG]

I’ve had 4 in the last 8 months - all on my right knee - I fell back in August and my knee is still black and blue and swollen and painful…

 

[lovesmurfs]

Annually for kidney stones.

And last year for my new knees. I go again in October, but then I'm done for 5 years, I think.

 

[mamamary]

2019 or earlier. I know it was precovid but not by a lot. It was of my kidney area for a procedure I was going to have.

 

[Turn the Page]

I had one last week. I have been having some digestive issues so they did a belly x ray. Still waiting to hear about the results.

 

[Micca]

Chest x-ray last year during an upper respiratory episode. Other than dental x-rays, it's probably been 25 years or more since I've had any other x-rays. I was surprised when the
doctor wasn't using these!

 

[Praying Colonel]

2019. I was in an accident in 2018 where I fractured my pelvis and dislocated my hip. 2019 was a follow-up to see how I'm doing. (Very good, thanks to my orthopedist and medical team!)

 

[ronandannette]

I lose track of time, especially during Covid, but I fell and broke my elbow a couple of years ago and ended up in urgent care, where they x-rayed it. Pretty sure that was the summer of 2020. If not, it was definitely 2021.

 

[disneychrista]

Bone X-ray whatever year the OJ Simpson verdict was. I ran home to watch it and some how tripped over one of my daughters skates. Really bad sprain.

Chest X-ray maybe 2015/2016. Had a really bad chest cold/bronchitis.
