2 enchondroma in my hand

2 enchondroma in my hand

I’m a 20 year old male, I play sports and am very active. Around a month ago I was playing a football game and broke my hand, but it broke very easily, I don’t even remember how it broke it happened so fast, I got an x ray some days later and my hand was broken, upon returning to the hospital 4 weeks later for another x ray, my doctor noticed 2 lumps on my hand and said they are both enchondroma, one is on my finger and one is just below my knuckle, the one on my finger has been there since I was a child but I’m not so sure about the other one, I feel no pain, I don’t even notice they are there and they don’t affect an aspect of my life, he said I will need to get both removed and get an MRI, and that I will also have to keep a close eye on them for the rest of my life, I’m very worried they could be cancerous even though I’ve been told by my personal doctor that she doesn’t think they’re cancerous. My main concern is that I have 2 enchondroma and not just the one. How rare is this?

I got into the Rad Tech program!

By
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 šŸ˜Š also if you have tips on how to survive this ...

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
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/

Question regarding ultrasound

By
Hello radiologists, I have a quick question regarding ultrasounds of the scrotum. (Not asking for medical advice just wondering about something). I’ve done an ultrasound of the scrotum and the radiologist only took pictures of the right side of the testicle and then the left side but not in between so my question is, do ultrasounds show all “angles” of a testicle or does the device need to be held at various areas to show a full testicle? Because if only one side of the testicle is seen then wouldn’t the other side be as important in diagnosing something? Thanks! submitted by /u/doomyboomy [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/oi2nmk/question_regarding_ultrasound/
