Foot X-rays, told “normal” by urgent care doctor and radiologist

Foot X-rays, told “normal” by urgent care doctor and radiologist

back story, zero foot pain ever in past- was at beach last weekend and Friday I had to sprint barefoot on the dry sand to catch my toddler from running into the ocean without her floaties, I face planted in the process but got right back up sprinting till I had her in my arms- nothing hurt until I had her in my arms and ever since then I feel bad pain on my left foot when weight is on it, feels like the top of the foot but maybe radiating underneath too or is pain underneath too hard to tell. Without shoes on I cannot walk normal, have to turn my foot to the side outwards completely horizontal to make a step, with tennis shoes on I can walk with it straight but it hurts with every single step, and it hurts to flex my toes back all the way and really hurts when I attempt to put pressure like you would to stand on your toes. I was a competitive gymnast and I know aches and soreness and I am convinced something is wrong cause it does not feel right anymore. Also idk if it’s important but when I’m sitting or laying basically whenever I don’t have it weight bearing there is no issue, also over the past almost week the pain hasn’t gotten any better at all, maybe even worse but it’s hard to tell since it hurts with every step.

Any body out there see anything the doctor and radiologist missed or are they probably right and it’s just a sprain? It’s just odd to me it hasn’t improved at all- if it’s just a sprain. You’d think something better would be semi noticeable. The doctor was in my room for twenty seconds (no exaggeration) and I had my shoe and sock off ready for her to look at and test mobility or whatever, she literally didn’t care a word I said or even look at my foot, she never touched my foot, and said it’s probably a sprain we’ll take some x rays but the radiologist is gone for the day and will have to look tomorrow and call you with results (which is today) I received no call and had to call at 430 today to get results that I think the radiologist must’ve went and looked while I was on hold. Nothing abnormal. No one even listened to me or touched my foot. She said “I have pain all the time in my feet, cause I have plantar fasciitis, it’s probably just something like that” but to me no- cause this was after a fall- and I had no prior feet issues.

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/

I got into the Rad Tech program!

I just want to share with you that I finally got into the program at our local community college and i’m starting this summer. For context, I’m already 30yo with a prior BS degree and decided on a career change. During the pandemic until this semester, I took my time to take all the pre-reqs and GEs required while working. I also volunteered at a hospital for over a year. It was optional due to COVID, but I still did it to get the brownie points. I finally applied last March 2023 and received good news last Friday. The program is based on a pointing system, so I think having good grades really mattered. It was my first time applying and the only program I applied to. I didn’t know it was possible to get in on your first try because of all of the stories I’ve been reading, so don’t lose hope because it’s possible! Wishing everyone who’s applying this year good luck. You can do this! If you have questions, I will do my best to answer them 😊 also if you have tips on how to survive this ...
