Hi guys…
During the CMPB medical check up, i did
not declare that I have fracture my elbow before. Because I did not
learn about this as the incident was during pri 1-2. I have been
into an operation theater before. After completing my BMT, i was posted to SCS and had
just graduated from my foundation term.
During my foundation term, i got gold for my IPPT and during that process I injured my elbow. I
thought it was normal muscle ache and did not care about it and
continued with training. But in recent times, when field camp(i was
matador holder) the pain can get so bad that I could not sleep at
night. I did not sound off until during the near the end of my
course. I was doing IOC (the new SOC) and while doing low rope, i injured my elbow and at
that night the pain was so bad the next morning i tired to hold the
cup to get a sip of drink, and i dropped the cup. My friends were
damn shocked and asked me what happened.
I finally decided to go to the MO and was given a specialist
appointment at Alexandra hospital. The day arrived and i went for
the medical appointment. This was what happened
Specialist: Are you NSF?
Me: Yes
Specialist: Sit down. Where pain?
Me: My left elbow hurts and sometimes at night the pain is so bad I
cant sleep.
Specialist: plays around with my elbow
Me: I used to fractured my elbow before and im left master hand..
Im afraid that this pain…
Specialist: Go do xray.
After Xray is done…..
Specialist: Xray shows no sign of dislocate or fracture. You are
fine.
And he goes on to write a memo stating “Xray shows no sign of
dislocate or fracture. Please do the Necessary.”
When I wanted to continue to describe the pain he chased me out
of the room and ask me to book a physio appointment.
I went back to camp and wanting to book a review at the medical
center. But the medic told me it wasnt possible because we are
passing out in 3 days time. All the slots are after we pass out. He
advised me to come back if i am posted to Profession term, if not
pass the memo to my new unit MO. So i went back to COY line and my PWO asked me if i
can participate in UO. I told him my elbow still hurts and he
insist I must have a status. If not who cover my backside? So I
went back to the MO and reported sick. I was about to tell him my
problems and he just asked how many days status I need. At the end
of the day he gave me 5 days excuse upper limb till the graduation
march.
I went for a private specialist and he diagnosis me with
golfer’s elbow. But everybody thinks I’m trying to chao keng… So
here I am now.. Can anybody please advise me the next course of
action?
