I visited A&E to x-ray a painful wrist and was told no fracture was present and all was okay.
Only it was still very painful.
Two days later, I was telephoned by the hospital to tell me that in fact my bone was abnormal. What I later found out was that the reporting radiographer had spotted a condition that he suspected was a very rare giant cell tumour and red flagged the x-ray.
After many tests, MRI, consultations confirming the diagnosis and surgery at RNOH Stanmore, my wrist is slowly recovering 7 months later. I would like to send a big THANK YOU to this radiographer who did his job exceptionally well!
