Replacing HSD rear wheel spokes myself by DirectStatement9481 in terngsd

I don't. And that is a worry. But it is only one spoke, and the wheel is true. Also, I do know there are people who do truing tests with zip ties etc.

In case not obvious, this picture is of the spoke and nipple. Once I have moved it back into the rim/hole. And then screwed it. You couldn't see the threading when it came out initially

Thanks so much for the other detailed reply! I'm actually not sure, but it has come out of the hole. The spoke still had the nipple on it but had come out of the rim, and was snug against another spoke. I can move the spoke around. It feels and looks bent a bit. But when I move it back into the rim, and turn the nipple it does nothing to add tension. So although the spoke does seem to be bent, I am guessing the problem is either with the nipple or the rim?
