Bone Pain and Fractures

As long as it takes!....And the less you use it, the sooner it will heal! I know that sounds trifle, but it depends on many things; age, lifestyle, health and diet. Speaking for myself-Male, 46 years of age- I like doing pushups. One morning I didn't properly warm up and pulled a ligament in the right shoulder. I had to surrender doing pushups for 2 weeks. In the mean time; no alcohol, caffeine, smoking or red meat, and avoid as much as possible using that arm during the duration. You should begin gentle stretching exercises with that arm after 3 days of noticing the pain-(only if the pain is slight!), if it's more than slight- see a doctor! A hot shower twice a day with the water focused on that area should be repeated during the healing process. Use an ice pack only if you know your not going to be using that arm-and especially before you go to bed- no more than 15 minutes. Give it at least 2 weeks! Go to the vitamin store and get 50 mg of Hyaluronic Acid,(a connective tissue component) and 250 mg of L-Glutathione,(Protectant for muscle and oxidative stress), and be vigilant with your diet-the more fruits and vegetables, the better! Berries are excellent for a pro-active defense against oxidant invaders-and fresh spinach is full of iron, which helps build the muscle. Then- (if your a weight lifter you need more time! Give it a month, but start isometrics, If your an exerciser aficionado like myself), begin with easy exercises again- BUT ONLY if the pain has subsided! If after 2 weeks the pain is still there-(before beginning the work out regime), you should see a doctor! You may have more than just a pulled muscle!

Nerves are composed of a bunch of small fibers called axons. If that axon is allowed to regrow it will regrow at an average rate of 1-2mm per day. Some nerves have axons that may grow faster or slower. This is true only if the injured nerve is allowed to regrow, i.e. if is severed or compressed without any sort of decompression it may not be able to completely regrow. The 2 main factors that determine whether or not an axon will regrow are (1) if the soma (i.e. cell body) is still alive and attached to the axon, and (2) if the endoneuriium which forms the tube that the axons travel down is still intact.

It it is allowed to regrow the length of time depends upon how much new regrowth is required. If you injured a nerve in your lumbar spine (i.e. your low back), that may be 1 meters worth of growth to get to the feet. At 1-2 mm per day, that may take up 500 to 1000 days. If you injured a nerve at your wrist (as occurs with carpal tunnel syndrome and the median nerve), that may be 5 cm and could take 25-50 days to completely regrow.

Place a pad between the broken toe, and the next one to separate them, but not too much. Then use medical tape to tape the two toes together to stabilize the break. Do not change the dressing, unless it really needs it. Do not get it wet. Keep it on for 3 to 4 weeks. Then check to see how it is. Do not keep the dressing on for weeks and weeks, but if you feel that it needs a bit longer, redress for another week. If you have a broken 'big' toe go to the hospital, but for the others the treatment is as above.

For big toes, the doctor will often tell you to wear an orthopedic flat shoe, and though it looks dorky, it will help your big toe heal properly. You won't realize how much you use it until you can't.

Because there are nerves attached to your bones and when you break them the nerves break.

It's a pain killer and cough suppressant used in medications like Vicodin.

"Hydrocodone" is a "semi-synthetic" or partially man-made opiod analgesic (pain killer) and antitussive (cough suppressant) made from codeine and thebaine.

"Bitartrate" is a salt of tartaric acid. Tartaric acid is a muscle toxin but in medications that include Hydrocodone Bitartrate, it is used to alter the water-solubility of Hydrocodone to make it more readily absorbed b the body. Hydrocodone Bitartrate is the generic name/active ingredient (alongside acetaminophen) in Vicodin, Vicodin ES, Lortab, and Norco. It is a mild to moderate pain reliever and is a Schedule III drug in the United States. It is only available with a prescription from a doctor.

It depends on your tolerance for pain... I have a mid level tolerance, when I broke my ulna in two I went to the ER and got a splint and got a cast the next day... It doesn't hurt if they gave you some painkiller... All in All No it does NOT hurt...

1. if the area is area around the fracture swollen

2. Finger pressure over the fracture causes severe pain

3. You can't move the hurt part.

4. It may look deformed (if the bones are not displaced, it will not look deformed, but may still be fractured.)

These are all signs a bone could be broken.

I'm in an anatomy class and my teacher who has a doctorate confirms that YES! it does heal stronger, because the osteoblasts cells kick in to heal and rebuild this bone tissue and they usually over compensate with the fusion of the two bones. Osteoblast and osteoclast work together to shape and form the new compact bone.

Falls and accelleration/decelleration trauma (car and bike accidents) seem to be the most common causes of arm fractures.

yes those are some things you can be doing but i serverly broke my wrist 7 years ago and that had weakened the area so 2 years ago i simply fell over through a game of netball and fractured round the same place and only a few weeks ago i simple tripped playing tennis and broke it in exactly the same spot as i did 7 years ago.

So if you have broken a bone bad before your most likely to break it in the same or around the same place. otherwise it could be of the above or just falling anywhere and putting you arm out and twisting it etc like i did xD

X-rays help doctors see broke bones, and also diseases inside of a human body.

Depending on the severity, the bone would need to be placed back in it's original position. It would then have to be set in a cast, hard or soft. Making sure that the bones are in a comfortable position, helps the them heal quicker and gentler.

3-5 days is usually enough time to heal a swollen or slightly sprained wrist.

In Ayurvedic and Siddha system of medicine it is mainly employed for skin diseases, GIT problems, Piles complaints, fistula. it is also added as an rejuvinating drug after proper purification process. In Homeopathic system of medicine sulfa 200X is used for Hypothyrodism. In Allopathic system of medicine it is used for Wound healing propertries. Dr. V. Karthikeyan BAMS M. Surendra Kuimar M.Pharm, (Ph.D).

Full mobility will take several weeks but the pain should stop after the usual six weeks. Further excercises trying to turn the arm a full 180 degrees will decrease the time taken for arm to returen to full mobility.

If you dislocate your arm the doctors will just pop it back into place. And it hurts a lot after they do so. But if you leave it too long and it gets bumped or something it could break! When you dislocate it, you wont necessarily be able to tell. Like with mine, i didn't know i dislocated it till i went to the doctors and they took and x-ray I just dislocated my arm. When i did it, it really swelled up. Then I went to the doctors the day after and he popped it back into place. I dislocated it Thursday, Sept 10/09 and Went to the doctors Friday, Sept 11/09. If after they pop it back into place it's still swollen don't worry because chances are it will be swollen for a couple days. Want i recommend is taking lots of pain killers! lol Well i hope that helps!

The xray will show the bones being close together

It is not actually the bone itself which hurts when you break it, its the ligaments and nerves that surround it, when they are pulled or hit by the bone when it moves it causes pain.

if you have sprained or rolled your ankle, it is going to hurt. alot. when i sprained mine it hurt for so long after and i was crying for the rest of the day. a sprain is actually worse than a break, because it hurts more. bones are not connected to any nerves and if it's a break, it will hurt for a bit after the injury has occurred, maybe 10 minutes after, however a sprain means that the ligaments are stretched and need to be shrunk back, meaning of course it is going to hurt more.

the best thing you can do is RICE, and hire crutches.

DO NOT DO SPORT FOR A FEW WEEKS!

yes

Because sometimes the joints are stiff and when they are cracked it relaxes them. Cracking them also releases endorphins in your brain. Endorphins make you feel good. Their released during sex too. It's not harmful or anything it's just bubbles in the joints being popped.

Hello,

I see you are asking "What is dysplasia epiphyseal hemimelica?"

Dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica (DEH), also known as Trevor's disease, is a developmental bone disease of childhood. It is rare and clinical experience with this condition is limited.

Yes but it may take time i broke my nuckles fighting a few months ago i went to the hospital they put a cast on for 6 week them they told me i am still growing because in 13 my knuckles will hopeful be back to normal when im 16

my middle finger has broken into 2 pieces it now looks like i got 2 nuckles for my middle finger and it looks like my knuckle is flat

The new toenail will grow in and the old one will fall off or be pushed along if it is still attached. Go to a doctor if it pushes into the skin or otherwise irritates the toe.
