It can take between six to eight weeks and even then there may be some slight discomfort.

You had your op in June, it shouldn't be causing you so much pain now. When l had open gall bladder surgery it took about 6-8 weeks to be pain free. Maybe you need to go back to the Dr. and make sure that all your healing is good and that you don't have an infection or anything.

A belly button piercing can take anywhere from 3-6 months to fully heal.

It all depends on which bone(s) are broken and the type of break.\n\nObviously some bones in the foot are put under more pressure than others so it is important these are rested sufficiently to repair when broken.\n\nTypically, in a less-severe break, a healing time of 6-10 weeks is normal given the right physiotherapy and rehabilitation exercises.\n\nI would not 'guess' how long you should rest it - I would actively seek the advice of a doctor.

Depends on how fast your body react to it. If your immune system is good, it would be around 45 min (you shall know when you feel the pain!:))

That could very well be the abnormality. Did you tell the doctor you had a fractured rib before? If you didn't, he might be seeing that and thinking it's a new onset sort of thing. You can usually tell what healed bone looks like on an x-ray, though. \nThe "abnormality" may be significant, or it may not be. Unfortunately, the only way to find out is to wait for the results.\nHope this helps!

It takes 10 to 12 days to completely heal.  It will never be the same again.  The sprained part will always be more vulnerable to being injured, sprained again.  You have to always be conscious of this and warm up and stretch.  You won't listen to me because I bet you're still a teenager and warming up and stretching is too dorky for you still.  When you're older and after a few more sprains you'll know what I'm talking about.

Both my wrists - I didn't get one of the wrists put into a cast because I couldn't afford it. \n\nWant to know the funniest thing? The one that I didn't have put into a cast healed perfectly fine. The one I DID have put into a cast healed oddly and now pretrudes a little and is crooked. I also have arthritis in that wrist now. Yeah - thanks doc - next time I'll let God take care of it ;)\n\nI've also had cracked ribs but they healed on their own and they're fine now.\n\nThat's all for the bones - but I lost my pinky finger in the door once...but they sewed it back on just fine and you can hardly tell - but I guess I'll save that for a "severed appendage" question ;)

You should contact a doctor. Your ribs can hurt for a variety of reasons but from what your describing with the pain in breathing it sounds like it's your lungs. Don't freak out, with these cough and cold symptoms its probably not too big a deal.If you let it go though you might end up with pneumonia and if that sits to long you end up with pluracy, which hurts your ribs more then you would like to find out. So don't bug but see a doctor soon.

are struggling to breathe over there??\n\nwell if you havent been to the doctor yet GO!\nif you have then its probably not a bad split and it will grow together in bout 4-6 weeks so limit excessive movement in that area eg. trunk rotation or unilateral arm movements-do bilateral ones instead. \n\nliving with this is gonna be painful tho!

Sounds like the doc said, an inflamation, maybe caused by an infection.  I've had it a few times, but normally following a rib injury, which does not have to be major. You don't breathe properly, or cough, so the air in the bottom of the lungs gets stagnant.

From my experience, 5 broken ribs at 3 separate times, you should do nothing except to take it easy, lie on the side that is the least painful, try not to do anything exerting as it could puncture your lung and hurt real bad otherwise.  Don't lift heavy things...you will know what things not to do because your ribs will inform you quite loud and clear!  Don't tape them!  If you ask doctors, they will tell you the same thing.  Most doctors don't have you tape them because it can cause you to puncture your lung.  See a doctor and ask him, but if you are just going by Yahoo answers, don't wrap them!  You think having busted ribs are bad, try that while you are having bronchitis at the same time...coughing all the time...long wracking coughs, killer dude!  Lucky yours is on the bottom.  Good luck and I hope it feels better soon.

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

I think the timeline is somewhere like 3-6 months. You should probably wait a good while so your body has time to heal. Do what your doc recommends. Don't get anxious, take your time.

I had mine removed about 8 years ago.. with mine I had the most horrible pain right below my rib cage that would last for about 10-15 minutes, closes I can describe the pain is child birth. I would get "attacks" 5-10 times a day, they would come on everywhere. All I would want to do is roll up in a ball on the floor until it passed... I still get "attacks" even with my Gall Bladder removed, they call them 'Phantom Attacks' not sure what it's caused from, but mainly comes on in the morning when I have an empty stomach, not nearly as painful as the real thing though.

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.

I just had a gallbladder attack on June 6, 2006 and the pain was unbearable. The pain went from in between my ribs around to my back in between my shoulders. I have to have mine out tomorrow. If your friend thinks that is what it is then she needs to get to the ER because it could kill her if it is bad enough.
