No. But be careful how you apply it.
How long should you avoid typing for with a mallet finger?
If you return too soon you may worsen your injury, which could lead to permanent damage. Everyone recovers from injury at a different rate. Return to your activity will be determined by how soon your finger recovers, not by how many days or weeks it has been since your injury occurred. In general, the longer you have symptoms before you start treatment, the longer it will take to get better.
Your doctor will recommend that your sprained finger be splinted or "buddy taped" (taped to the finger next to it) for 1 to 4 weeks after your injury. In many cases, you will be able to return to your activities as long as you are wearing your splint or have your finger taped.
Your finger may remain swollen with decreased range of motion and strength for many weeks. It is important to continue your rehabilitation exercises during this time and even after you return to your sport.
If you have a problem with you foot you really need to go and see a qualified medical practitioner (a doctor) about it.
What is the treatment for a tibial stress fracture?
Rest, ice, compression, elevation.
Stress fractures usually take about 6 weeks to heal.
During this time, do not run, jump, or exert excess pressure on the tibia. The only good physical activity to do is swimming, which do not put pressure on the tibia.
If pain worsens, quit swimming, and use crutches to relieve the pressure.
Use ice to ease the pain and inflammation. Pain reliever may be taken.
Compress the ice on the tibia to help the pain or swelling which may occur.
Elevating your leg, will help blood flow to your leg, which will ultimately speed the healing of your bone.
Be sure to visit your physician or physical therapist right away.
Undoubtedly it is.
Why may a spontaneous fracture occur in persons with hyperparathyroidism?
Easy fracturing of the bones are the result of demineralization of the bone.
A complete fracture happens when the bone is broken clean trough and not attached.
It depends on the severity of the fracture; often the first line of treatment is immobilization via use of a splint or cast for 6-8 weeks to see if the fracture will heal on its own. However, sometimes the pieces of bone migrate too far away from each other to come back together and there is a risk of the bone fragments embedding in the tendon and causing damage to the connective tissue. If this is a concern, then your orthopedist may recommend a partial sesamoidectomy (just to remove the broken one) or a complete sesamoidectomy (removing both the fractured one and the unharmed one to allow unhindered joint movement, or in the rare case of a double fracture).
Is swelling down your arm common after a humerus fracture?
I had a multiple humerus fracture 16 weeks ago. Three places. I did not need an operation and things are starting to move nicely, physio is not pleasant and I suffer after driving but my problem is the swelling of my inner arm between shoulder and elbow. I feel as though I'm stuck with it. Anyone had any experience, how long did it take for the swelling to reduce? I am 68 and have osteopennia which is now being treated.
How long does it take to heal?
It can take months to recover from joint replacement surgery, so you need to plan for post-operative care as well. You will require some amount of assistance, so make sure there is somebody available to help you. It could be a friend, family member, or even a trained nurse.
The house too will need to be rearranged slightly. At first, mobility will be limited so keep what you need nearby. Once you can start moving around, you need to make sure there is no furniture obstructing your path.
Clear anything that puts you at risk of falling, such as rugs, oddly jutting out furniture, or even electrical wires.
Most joint replacement patients (especially hip & knee) have been known to be able to stand up the first-day post-surgery. However, every individual has a different recovery timeline depending on their specific situation.
If you follow your doctor’s instructions well, you should be able to recover completely within a few months.
Ranka Hospital, Pune provides facilities for joint replacement surgery.
Is green-stick fracture most serious of all the fractures?
No, far from it. A compound, or open fracture, is usually considered to be the "worst" type.
Galena's fracture is subconchoidal, and its cleavage is cubic. See http://www.minerals.net/mineral/sulfides/galena/galena.htm for a complete chart about galena's properties.
What is the Recovery time fractures of the Cuboid bone?
Some data says 6-8 weeks, but mine have not healed. It is over 6 months now and I am still experiencing mild pain. I fractured my cuboid bone on 7/25/2011; initial x-rays revealed nothing. Three weeks later, MRI confirmed fractured cuboid bone. CT-scan in December revealed that the bone was partially healed and that explained why I was experiencing pain. Currently it is my 7th month and experiencing very mild pain now. I have graduated to walking in a removable cast (cam walker) without crutches for over a week now. There is light at the end of the tunnel. In any event it could take 9 months to heal as well.
No. Unless it makes like a crack sound or something.
