Owlscrying Posted February 21, 2008 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2008 A Chinese woman who complained of back pain turned out to have 10 small springs in her body. "The muscles around the spine felt very tight, and as if they were pulling part, but I couldn't pinpoint the exact location of the pain," said Li, 47, of Yanji city. Hospital doctors were initially baffled when an x-ray showed white spots along her spine. Chief surgeon Dr Jin said: "We took five small springs from her back, buried 1 to 1.5 cm under the skin. Some of them had grown together with the muscles, and rusted." After the surgery, the hospital took a full body x-ray, and found another five springs in her waist, feet and the top of her head. Li says the springs may have been planted into her body when she was nine-years-old to treat epilepsy. go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop it, I'm a very visual thinker, and a visual of a woman laughing and bouncing up and down while in a sitting position is a bit much for me to take this early in the morning.

theGhost_and_theDarkness Posted February 21, 2008 #13 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Lol, the sad thing is that I already knew all the words to the Tigger song. . .tee hee. . .I used to have a Tigger obsession as a teenager and had Tigger EVERYTHING. .. As for the woman, that is awfully strange. . .wouldn't she remember them putting them there if the surgery happened when she was 9? That's the oddest treatment of epilepsy that I've every heard. . .
