It depends on how severe the sprain is. Some sprains can be worse than a broken bone, healing wise. He's probably going to have to baby it for a while!

Get a clue, your body is trying to tell you something. You need to see your doctor.\n\nTreatment may include:putting ice packs on the injured area for 20 to 30 minutes every 3 to 4 hours for 2 to 3 days or until the pain goes away, taking anti-inflammatory medications prescribed by your doctor and doing rehabilitation exercises to help you return to your activity.\n\nWhile you are recovering from your injury, you will need to change your activity to one that does not make your condition worse. You may need to swim instead of running.

i broke my clavicle in a car wreck, and it took me about two months to heal..it is really painfiul for the first couple weeks, but after that it feels much better....the doctor treated my fracture with a sling and that was about all he could do, due to where the break was located...good luck and i hope you feel better soon

I think he'll start seeing it in 2-3 days. How much time will the full process take? Depends on the extent of injury.\n\n1 week to 1 month.

my girlfriend had it done the recovery did suck i won't lie ithink it took couple of weeks for it to go away completely but for the most part i would say probably about up to 2weeks for most of tenderness to go away now if your talking about being able to handle them say in four play then at least a month i believe if i remember correctly cause that was ten years ago

You should have started physical therpy to excercise the musles involved, if this has not been done then you need to talk to a doctor for referral.\n Aside from excerse, the healing could take up too a year

I agree with the previous answerers - it should take around 6 months to fully heal.\n\nYou are really at risk of tearing it again with your heavy work so soon after surgery.\n\nGood physical therapy after this type of surgery is crucial.  They will gradually progress you through a strengthening and mobility program.  Using weights is not always the best way to go.  Ask your therapist to perform closed chain exercises and rhythmic stabilization exercises as a part of your program - these are more functional exercises and will make you less liable to re-injury.  They should also be using modalities like electrical stimulation to decrease pain and swelling, ultrasound to help with the scar tissue, massage to stretch the scar tissue and shoulder joint.  If you are not getting one-on-one time with your therapist - time to look elsewhere!!\n\nMy mainstays in treating patients include using accupressure points using microstimulation and Kinesio Tape.  If you can find a therapist who knows these techniques, it will really speed up your recovery.\n\nGood luck!

speaking from experience..i broke my leg in 2 place and my wrist in 9 during the same accident.I was out of work for 6 months..i waited and rested as told but also kept stretching and flexing my foot and hand to keep things in motion. if you have had it immobilized for this entire time it will take some rehab.. you may also look at the possibility that your hooked on your pain meds. they will trick your brain into thinking your in pain just so you'll take more. Be careful and good luck

I would recommend seeing a DR. They will be able to do some x-rays and tell you exactly what you have damaged. After 6 months, I don't think much could be done. Tendons heal differently to bones, they will never be as strong as they used to be. Get a DR's opinion before you start trying to claim on your insurance.

it can be done within a few seconds if performed correctly.\n\nThe real question is whether there is a fracture - this can only be confirmed by x-ray.  Some wrist fractures are difficult to diagnose, and if there is any doubt a cast or brace will be applied.\n\nI have often relocated wrist bones when stretching the joint specifically - the patient is more suprised than anything!

It may take months to feel like your old self again. If you are in top physical condition with strong abdominal muscles, recovery will be faster. Some people return to work after two weeks, while others need to wait  three or four weeks.\n\nExercise will help you heal. Even if you've never exercised before begin an exercise program to reduce swelling, lower the chance of blood clots, and tone muscles as soon as the doctor allows it.. \n\nYour scars may seem worse as they heal, which is normal. It will o take 9 -12 months  before your scars flatten and lighten. They will never disappear completely but won't show under most clothing\n\nJust be sure to follow your surgeon's post op instructions to the letter and you will do fine.  Your results will be long lasting IF you follow the diet your doctor prescribes and you exercise faithfully.  Good luck!

im assuming you want it to be better faster because you are involved in an extra curricular activity or sport.  correct?  make sure you wrap it tightly to relieve the pressure.  instead of taking showers, try a hot bath with some bath salts.  when you sleep or sit down, keep it elevated.  ice it constantly.  before going to sleep, move it around and stretch and massage it.  when you think it feels better don't just start running and jumping on it, keep it wrapped till your 100% certain it's healed, if you don't there is a high possibility it will be reinjured again.  Trust me, I know it's tough but it will get better.  I've been a professional dancer and teacher for many years now and I have survived a lot of different injuries.

thats hard to tell (anywhere between 4-6 weeks, and even several month), depends on how complicated the fracture is and to what parts of the ankle are broken. then an other influence on the heal time is the treatment that had been conducted.\nin general it can be said that children heal fractures and other injuries a lot faster than adults do. \n\nto make sure ask the doctor who is taking care of her, he can tell you.\n\ngood luck

It can take up to a few months. It's an injury that can get better faster if you take care not to aggrevate it.

I had 4 of the tendons on my hand severed!  Boy, that was not funny....I went to therapy for six months, and then I got Silly Putty, and a medium-hard ball.  I would work it whenever.....now I am fine.  Of course that was a while back, but I am up to speed on everything (actually was 2 years after the accident).  WORK IT!!\nYou can also try, screwing and unscrewing bottle caps, buttoning clothes, anything that MOVES your thumb in coordination with other fingers.\nGood Luck!

I shattered my finger joint so badly they sent me to a specialist.  He took off the splint right away (1 day after the break) and said that while it was healing I had to move it as much as I wanted to be able to move it after it was done healing, otherwise I would have very restricted movement.  Even though it hurt a lot I bent it all the way back and forth every minute of every day until it was done healing.  I have a joint with normal movement.  Just keep remembering that you want full use of it.  You should have done it from the beginning, but good luck.

Ouch - that hurts!  I broke my clavicle when I was 15 too (now 36).  I only broke it in one place and that was painful enough.  Although it healed and is stable, I can still feel where the bones overlap and fused in that position.\n\nI have heard of surgery being performed but it is very unusual.  Sometimes it is pinned.  The splint should allow things to heal properly but it will take around 6-8 weeks.  Need to make sure that the middle section doesn't displace and cause complications, i.e. brachial plexus injury, lung problems.
