Here's one for you guys
Last year I was playing indoor soccer and I dislocated my right ankle.
It felt like time was slowed when I looked at my foot, I then grabbed it and relocated and reduced it myself within 5 secs.
No pain only twitching which is something I have seen when I've helped to reduce other peoples bones at work
I knew instinctually that it was out and people saw it and saw me do it and they could not believe though that I had reduced it myself
A doctor on our team saw me do it and I was saying I was fine and he said Lou go and get it xrayed because if you have a spiral fracture you can't work
So I went to my workplace a busy ED in QLD showed up and people looked at me and pretty much said I was either exagerating or lying. Xray was clear no fracture
I had so many people try to tell me it didn't happen that I began to doubt myself and got real pissy about it.
2 weeks later a female pt came in via ambulance with an avulsion dislocation of her right ankle I was on with the doctor who didn't believe me and assisted this lady.
She needed narcotics and relaxants her ankle was relocated after 15 mins of her arrival
She went for an xray and guess what? No fracture
I said to the doctor I was working with see I told you it can happen with nil fracture
He then had her ankle ct scanned to double check it and guess what no fracture.
I didn't doubt myself after that it made me think at the time how many people have dislocated their ankles and reduced in a panic and never got treatment?
This incident happened a year ago I didn't think I had a mental issue then
In hindsight I think the best question now is how many people out there have DID?
I believe you Designer 100% that that happened.
When I was being treated for my ankle I was not me in the sense that I didn't want anything to be wrong with my ankle and I acted that way however at the same time I wanted people to believe me that it actually happened
I had difficulty with my ankle, I couldn't rotate it without pain for 2 weeks until I was walking down some stairs and felt a deep pop in my right ankle and then I had full range of motion in my ankle again. .
Man I hate this
