Can I get bent in a pool? Terrible pain in my joints.

It's not going to help with a diagnosis, I think was the point.

oops, I've gotta remove these dang blinders

even if the bottle was 100% o2 at a depth of 9ft o2 reaches a ppos of 1.3 . well outside the nitrox limit .

but my friends allways annalise .

my friends and i are techs , the dark side :14: . and one of the guys left in his gas bottle for his ccr last year when on a trip to get filled and they put the wrong gas in the wrong bottle .

only for he annalise he would be dead .

as we are thought on nitrox and other courses

Yes, constipation can be terminal.

I am somewhat surprized at the responses here and by the doctor, there are several reasons this could have happened other than the already mentioned infection issue.

It is very easy to dehydrate one self while diving and bring on a whole list of very painful issues... gout and psudo gout for example. Normally they would be in a big toe or a extremety joint, but first attacks can be any joint or lots of joints. And first time attacks, if brought on by some other issue can be very large. Actually any immune system over reaction could cause the symtoms described here. I would suggest it is time to see a better doctor.

Thats straight up a load of BS :no

You have to wait years in some cases to wait for life saving medical procedures in countries with socialized medicine, I doubt aches and pains would take priority

Well I am waiting to hear about the blood test results. I hope all is well.

i am glad to hear that DAN said you were not bent. i hope you wrote down the number if you need it again. if not go to a local dive shop and get some of DAN's stickers. they have the number on it if you were to need it again.

I would be completely beyond shocked if you were bent from an 8' dive in a pool. There just isnt enough pressure at that miniscule depth to dissolve nitrogen into your bloodstream.

as for Charles, remember back to your training when you were told the biggest change of pressure was the first 33 feet. that is because this is the first doubling of pressure on your body. while it might be uncommon to get bent in 8 feet, if you spend enough time, go up and down alot, and add other factors of DCS to the secnerio, you can still stand a chance to get bent.

It may be the greater area of pressure change, but the pressure is too low to accumulate much Nitrogen. To get bent in 8 feet of water you would have to stay down like 8 hours. I don't think anyone can get that kind of time on a single tank. I've stayed down for 4 hours with a maximum depth of 35 feet (with doubles) and my computer still indicated several hours remaining before deco.

I think the chances of getting bent from a dive to 8 feet depth are about the same as getting bent from a flight on a commercial airliner. Hope you are OK.

Most sincerely
