Bone Pain and Fractures

Bone damage takes an amazingly long time to completely heal to a painless state, and after 3 months. some pain would be unsurprising. However, it's always a good idea to ask for a follow-up for long term injuries and as fractures of the wrist are not always easy to set, perhaps a visit to your doc is in order.

approximately 21 days according to yokum and rowe essentials of skeletal radiology

have the person lay down

well, when i broke my foot, i also had a severely sprained ankle and all of my muscles around my foot and up my leg were pulled and stuff, so it's hard for me to pin point exactly what i was feeling was from the break or the sprain... but it's an intense pain, and to me it's really hard to explain. at first my foot and leg went completely numb, and i felt and heard three pops when it happened. then i could feel my foot just start to swoll up and it got all tingly and it felt almost like my foot got slammed really hard between a door or something. i tried to take my shoe off but people were yelling at me not to. i tolerate pain well, and honestly i only thought i twisted my ankle or rolled it.. until i started to sweat really bad and my whole body started to shake. i had a line going up my leg and my leg was already starting to bruise. it didn't really start to hurt really bad until i got into the car and the bumpy and shakey ride to the hospital was painful. i was supposed to be on crutches for 8 weeks but iwas stubborn and only used them for about 4 or 5. which i kind of regret, because now i have a form of othritis because i never let it heal completely. they said it will take up to 2 years to totally heal. but i guess i would say the top 5 would be - burning - sharpness - swolling - sweating - shaking often times, your body goes into shock too, so you don't feel it immediately.

You would eat things that involve little or no chewing. This would begin, at least, as a liquid diet and might proceed to soups, etc. Your doctor will probably discuss what you can and can't eat.

it recieves the weight from the whole body along with the tibia...and reduces the weight on the ankles and feet..so it has alot to do with the ankle..if the ankle is injured then the ankle would have trouble with this weight hence creating pain

Bilateral means both sides. Femur is your hip.

Someone with bilateral femur fracture and blood loss is someone who is bleeding(internally) from having broken the hip on both sides.

The amount of blood lose can vary.

Certainly, although usually it isn't the knuckle that breaks, but the bone behind it higher up in your hand.

it depends what type of fracture. just a regular normal common fracture could take about 4-6 months dependeding on your diet and general health. If its a bad enough break you might have to relearn how to walk. Hope this helps.

It can never be healed when bruised. You will always have a slight or fierce pain in your cocyical region

A transverse fracture is a bone fracture which runs at a right angle to the length (axis) of the bone.

See link in Related links for more discussion of categories of fractures--

* linear, oblique or transverse * simple or compound * complete or incomplete

bilateral = both sides

Fracture = broken or cracked

Radius = one of the bones in your forearm

Most fractures take about six weeks to heal but physical therapy may be required to strengthen the muscles surrounding the area to get back to full functionality.

10 - 12 weeks. If you don't do light exercises along with it it could take up to 6 months to heal.

its simply called an open fracture when the bone has broke the skin and is sticking out.

Pain (and a sense of weakness in the affected area) is the most significant sign of fracture.

Fractures of the wrist usually take about 4-8 weeks to heal. For an elderly person, healing time would take at least 6 weeks and may take as long as 10 weeks to heal fully.

A pathologic fracture is a broken bone that's caused by a disease, rather than an injury. Some conditions weaken your bones, which makes them more likely to break. Everyday things, such as coughing, stepping out of a car, or bending over can fracture a bone that's been weakened by an illness.

Rest, ice and immobilization depending on the severity.

A break that occurs from repeated stress to a bone over time.

You can use the word 'break' for fracture

A person should be able to speak with a broken neck, unless another injury or swelling has affected the vocal cords or jaw, for example. If there was throat swelling, this would be a medical emergency because throat swelling would block the airway.

Six to eight weeks. Depends on the fracture.

Pain occurring on the outside of the hip and upper thigh or outer buttock may be strained muscles, ligaments, or tendons in the hip area. Shooting pains that radiate into your legs can be a sign of lower back strain or a hernia.

A Colles fracture happens when you fall backwards and put your weight on your wrist and the radious is broken.
