HOLE IN YOUR BONE? **AGAIN?????**
yeah you know. the bone hole that shows up every few years. happens to everyone
#in all seriousness it’s something called a unicameral bone cyst basically a hole forms in your bone and gets replaced with a bubble of fluid#I got one in my hip when I was little and because it weakened the surrounding bone so much it ended up breaking#so now there’s metal screws in there#every few years my hip insists in regrowing the cyst so the main reason I’ve had an excessive amount of surgery is to inject donor#bone to fill in the hole. it’s supposed to stop recurring once your growth plates close but mine hasn’t gotten the memo yet#bone cysts themselves aren’t rare but it’s extremely rare for them to not go away on their own and get so big they cause pain and breakages#I’m special!!! one of the doctors who worked on me said she’d been there 15 years and I was the first case of my kind she saw :)#asks#thanks for tuning into this weeks episode of gecko medical lore. join us next week for the casket concussion
