It really depends on the extent of the injury. If you fractured your bone, you may need to be in a cast but if your bone was dislocated, you may need a chiropractor, a sports doctor and physical therapy.

It sounds like just a bruise. You may have hit your funny bone causing tingliness and such. You have now gained all feeling back, which is good. Wait a day or two, and if its doesnt improve get it xrayed. If its not swollen, your fine.

it's hard to tell, I broke a bone on the side of my foot 4 years ago and had a cast for about a month and a half and was on crutches the entire time.  The bone never healed properly but it doesn't really bother me now.  I guess it all depends on how bad the break was and what doctors tell you!\nGood luck!

I fainted once... but thats because I was standing up for too long and was dehydrated! I have never broken a bone. I was taken to hospital once because I tripped on a step and my lip was bleeding a bit. Can I get the boobie prize for having the least dramatic injuries!

It isn't unusual to have arthritis develope when a bone has been fractured. There are anti inflammatory medications available by perscription. Advil or the generic name ibuprofen is available without a prescription. You should discuss this with a doctor. It's important that you emphasize how much it hurt you to make sure that the physician gets the big picture. good luck to you

X-Ray I have osteoporosis and have broken countless major bone and often didn't know it until I was X-Rayed days late. Last year I literally shattered my kneecap in Too many fragments to count and I wouldn't have even known if I had not said something to the Dr. for an unrelated visit.

I had xrays about 4 weeks ago to confirm a broken tailbone. It hurts like the devil to sit down and hurts even worse to get up. My best position was standing. I had a bad looking bruise back there. The pain from getting up and down hurt really bad for about 2 weeks. It's still sore, but I can get up and down without it hurting really bad.\nI didn't get any padding to sit on, but you can buy a donut. The pharmacy should have them. They don't do anything for broken tailbones; they heal themselves. I just had to take a lot  of ibuprofen.\n\nGood luck to you.

Yes the blood in your system is racing to your broken area to heal it and the pain probably is also causing you to experience this.  Take some pain medicine and relax

Number one on the list would be a broken bone; generally a finger or ankle. Secondly would be eye injury; dirt or foreign material in eye.

Breaking your humerus is not unusual when you fall.  We see lots of this especially in older people whose bones are not as flexible as a younger person.  Not getting enough protein is not the cause of your bone break it was just an unlucky accident for you.  You get protein from lots of other sources besides meat so I am sure you get plenty of protein.  Eggs, dairy products and things like peanut butter are all high in protein.  Consider your break an unlucky accident and nothing more.

Could be a cyst or a tear in the muscle. Probably a good idea to see an orthopedic doctor.

Return to the hospital,\n they may  need , to re-x- ray your ankle ,\n it is possible a small  fracture, has been missed .\n\n Or you could have, an Achilles tendon injury  ( very painful ) \n that also and may  not  show up on the x-ray , at first .\n\n Do not weight -bear on it ,until you have had the doctors O.K \n\n pain and muscle spasms are warning signs,\n and should not be ignored \n\n I like the way you are being looked after hand and foot ,  \n that is great ;)\n That is good ! LOL!\n\n :( pain is not :((\n\n I hope you heal up very soon \n\n>^,,^<

The only real way to tell if it's broken is to go get an x-ray. Sorry, sweetie, but if you think it may be, then you need to go to the ER. You don't want it to heal wrong again. \n\nBtw, you might consider checking into some anger-management classes or buy a punching bag. =)
