Knock knock - excuse me

Best I can offer is when my lung op was done,they spread/broke my ribs to get to said lung,doc did say it can be tender due to the fact the ribs may need breaking/cut to get hand between but the forcing apart and ligament stretching,means certain amount of uncomfort,may last 3 months post op or a slight pain for ever.Had a mild(well I told myself it was)ache for a while,and was ok after a month or so,wasn't as bad as I was led to believe.

Also a mate broke his ankle playing soccer,was next to him when it happened,he was back playing after 10 weeks or so,snapped badly,he said over summer it tickled at times when he woke up,as he warmed up walking it got better,and he massaged his other leg using aloe vera from plant and other natural stuff on it,worth a health shop visit maybe.

Anyone that can answer the question? Bruised bones? How long till they stop hurting?

Had a couple of instances. Seemed to have a half-life of at least a month, (half the pain after 4 weeks).

The first one, (ankle) I got sent to a physio, who used that electric shock tingly thing, which helped for a day or so after each session and I believe shortened the recovery time.

The second one, (shin bone) I didn't have that option, took about six weeks for the pain to get down to non-distracting levels. But then I'm a wimp.

I'da thunk a nurse would know all that shit, no?

Hate to be the bearer of unwelcome news babe but:

Average life span of men 70 years.

Average age of women 80 years.

Add another 5 /10 years for modern living style and there you go!

As you age life is great!

"Until you try move" and then "every" old injury and hurt cuts in to remind you how much fun you have had getting there!

Little things, like getting pissed, stoned, or even an orgasm are temporary respites but when they are over and done, guess what .... it all starts hurting again!

Sorry to hear about your ankle luv!

Using the body's natural ability to channel energy to where it's needed to provide healing is something everyone is capable of - most just don't realise it.

Most commonly called Reiki (although personally I don't feel the need to give it a label).

Never mind that Why isn't Maha carrying you around on his broad shoulders? Any (FLAG CARRYING FAG) could do it! Best wishes for a fast and full recovery Mom.

I got other thing to keep me occupied about now, I have a new bike and that unables us to participate in other things....so I overheard...

Flags are soooo last weeks news.

Walk it off.
May sound like bad advice and probarbly is, but on the too many occaisions when I have had broken bones /sprains/torn ligaments etc the best way to recovery for me after rest was to learn to use the particular limb how it should be used. For example, try walking slow and deliberate but properly without limping or favouring the good leg. It will hurt but its gotta be done at some stage.

I had a nail stuck into my shin bone when I was younger, it took 6 months to heal to the point I did not notice it. A few years ago I badly bruised my ankle, it is still weak & painful if I do something out of the ordinary, like diving with fins... I have had some solid thumps, steel on bone, which have healed in a matter of weeks.

I guess it depends on the nature of the injury but I firmly believe that keeping the circulation going, even toe wiggling, helps a lot.

Start massaging that lump in your calf, otherwise they can actually hang around for an awfully long time. Doesn't have to be hardcore, just regular. As for the bone pain, bad ruck. Rest it!

I have a tube of hiridoid cream that I am massaging into the calf, the heamatoma is now many small lumps so is resolving well.

I'da thunk a nurse would know all that shit, no?

You would think so eh? Sadly this nurse did not do a lot of orthop-eadics, and has never broken a bone before.

Maha is very good at taking my mind off things

Walk it off.

I actually agree with you, but I am still on crutches and cant weight bear yet, once I am able to support myself I will be walking methodically and properly, I have some serious muscle loss to rebuild

[sugilite:Me]

I wonder if any of you guys can help a gal out please?
How long can I expect to have ouchy pain from a bruised bone?

PS: Walking is far more dangerous than riding bikes

A fluoro vest would of saved you
Seriously though, I bruised my heel bone in a prang, and I'm sorry to say it took many months to come right . The heel was a shit of a place to bruise a bone with having weight put on it constantly.
I'm not sure where on your tibia you have bruised, but it may heal a lot faster because it would not be constantly being mushed into the ground like a heel - in theory!

Well we're working on getting enough repeats to have a long term effect...

[FJRider]

Well Mom ... there's plan B ...

Get a few teeth pulled out ... it may take your mind off the bruised bone ...

Funny you should say that, I had to cancel a dentists appointment because I could not drive to get there

How long is a piece of string?

The thing is you have damaged both legs. The haematoma is broken down by the body at a certain rate, so the more damage the longer it takes. Your body is healing both legs.

I had severe haenatona to both thighs, a shoulder and bicep. I had blood and fluid drained from around my knees for weeks, physio and massage. It still took 3 months to clear up.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

[ynot slow]

Cast off,legs apart woohoo,sex fixes everything lol.

Thank you so much. I had a really cool PM from someone who offered up some other remedies to speed up the process of healing today, I am investigating his advice. One thing I have learned is the broken bone heals much faster than any other soft tissue injury.

This is my first broken bone of note, the pain of that is so diminished now, I guess my focus is on the other sore bits

2 more weeks in plaster! I am starting physio this week in an attempt to get ahead of the rehabilitation process
