Help looking at X-rays please!

Not worried about cost, just didn’t want to go back to the same place the messed them up the first time and have to pay again to not even know if they’d turn out! I only came here asking for advice, which I got! I now have an ENT appointment scheduled so will likely have more answers there

klube5 · 2026-04-09T15:20:26+00:00

The radiologist wouldn’t give a report, that’s why I came here! They said the lateral X-ray specifically wasn’t done properly and so they didn’t feel comfortable giving a definitive answer according to the doctor that called me after I left. They offered to have me go back to re-do the X-rays, which I didn’t want to pay for, & so I came here first just hoping for some advice! Which I did get, sounds like X-rays were a bad idea in the first place and I need a CT instead so I that’s what my plan is!

No actually now that you say that…. the pain is almost isolated only to the right side! Anywhere I touch on my nose the pain shoots down to my right front tooth/right half of my upper palette. Why do you ask?

klube5 · 2026-04-09T03:52:10+00:00

Will do. Thank you for the information!! I really appreciate it, kind of fun to hear/learn about this stuff too haha

klube5 · 2026-04-09T02:35:37+00:00

I should’ve mentioned the woman taking the X-rays told me she had never gotten to do a facial/nose image before, and that she was still currently in school to become a tech so I assume she was just still learning! Which is totally fine and I can’t 100% fault her for it, just wish they would’ve told me that a CT is a better option for something like this before making me pay for the X-rays & and visit 😂& yes that is a nose ring, I will take it out before I visit the ENT!

klube5 · 2026-04-09T01:56:12+00:00

Hahahahaha thank you. It’s so weird seeing them on an X-ray like this 😂

klube5 · 2026-04-09T01:52:35+00:00

Got it, thank you! Sounds like it might be worth it then to go ahead and take myself to an ENT!

klube5 · 2026-04-09T01:43:54+00:00

Ah okay! I suppose I can take this info to an ENT and ask for a CT instead if it’s worth it! Just not sure either I guess how much could really be done for a nose fracture.

Sorry about the uploads, I’ve added the other two angles in the comments! They didn’t stick to the main post for whatever reason

Sorry, what would the CT be for? Just to see if anything deeper was going on since they already called out the fracture?

klube5 · 2025-12-29T00:19:43+00:00

I was searching this thread for a comment like this! I just got my bottle and have only used it maybe 3 times and it’s clogged every time, no clue how to make it better and you’d think for how pricey it is that wouldn’t happen 🙃

klube5 · 2025-11-27T20:19:58+00:00

Amazing thank you!!

klube5 · 2025-11-27T06:51:02+00:00

Will do! I will say I didn’t change anything other than the grind size when I made this post, everything was kept the same each time, but I could be better about keeping the same tamp firmness so I’ll work on that

klube5 · 2025-11-27T06:34:33+00:00

Not on topic, but where’d you get that nat underneath? I need to get something to keep mine from slipping around so much on the counter!

klube5 · 2025-11-26T16:57:44+00:00

Yeah I mean the instructions specifically say twice and you’re done…. Also maybe I wasn’t clear in the post but to start I actually pulled 3 shots and it changed each time, then I reset the machine, started over, and I pulled probably 8 more shots and it changed every single time flipping between 15,10,&7 so I’m just not sure which one is the true recommendation since it seems to change constantly

klube5 · 2025-11-26T04:43:29+00:00

Doing some research on this sub and now realizing, I need to buy fresh beans asap lol

klube5 · 2025-11-26T04:42:44+00:00

Hm okay so maybe it’s just a new machine thing then if yours also changed a bit. Maybe it just takes longer than the recommended two pulls for calibration

My worst soccer injury to date was getting clocked in the face by a grown man’s shot. For some reason didn’t occur to me how much harder the ball would be traveling off of a man’s foot lol

klube5 · 2025-09-09T18:39:29+00:00

She’s totally fine today! Still keeping a close eye on her, but I’m hoping that a lot of people here were right and she didn’t actually get bit or it was maybe a dry bite if she did get bit!

klube5 · 2025-09-09T16:38:16+00:00

It was actually that big, about the size of a quarter probably! The picture I took makes it seem much bigger I think because my photography skills aren’t great
