The diet part is not what hurts your bones,it is the phosphorous--at least health food people say it leeches the calcium out of your bones and then your bones get porous and brittle and break easy.  But before the bones get brittle the blood does not carry enough calcium (which later drops in to replace bone calcium) and the blood flow through muscles does not move so well and causes cramps.\n\nNow about the diet part.  When my mom was in her sixties we noticed she was starting to lose her short term memory.  When she stopped drinking diet pop she never had any more problem with short term memory that was any different than our regular business

I obtained my worst injury at the age of four, when a hot iron fell on me.  I moved out of the way in time to escape a concussion but my my right foot's pinkie toe got burned and the nail got broken off.  I haven't had any worse injuries than that so far and I really hope I don't get any either.  The injury scars might be cool but the pain aint worth it, that goes for all I care about also.

No,as long as there's no pain,nothing's wrong.It sounds like an exostosis from your former fractures.That's an extra bony outgrowth from a site that has had new bone formation.\nGet an x-ray check to confirm this.

What do you mean?   Bones are made mostly of calcium.   There's a disease called osteoporosis which causes calcium to be removed from bones and weakens the bones.   I don't know if it is painful, but I don't believe it is.

I worked for an orthopedic specialist and learned that bone growth doesn't hurt.  What may be hurting is the nerves, tissues and muscles surrounding the break that are also healing.

you could have a stress fracture

A bone graft, you mean? My sister had one of those after she got hit by a boat ... I'm not sure why it would hurt so bad five years later though...

i got into a car accident and broke my femur and they replaced the bone with a titaniun rod, that ran me up about 60,700 grand. lol, sorry if that didnt answer your question, but my point is its really expensive, i think anyways.

Get to a doctor, NOW!  He could have ruptured a vein or artery and disrupted blood flow.  He may have done nerve damage.  If bone was chipped, you could have a bone infection.

As there are many bones in your arm n some of them quite small really only an x-ray can tell for sure.......and it could be that you have chipped the bone rather than broken it .....see a doctor xx

I broke my pinky finger a few years back.  My finger is crooked now, sort of like a bump on top.  Goes with breaking bones, I guess.

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!

stubbed, or hurt your toe, injured it.

No.  It takes time for a bone to heal,usually weeks.\n  You may be causing yourself more healing time  or more damage if you are not careful,especially on your cruise where you are bound to have a few drinks and whoop it up with  a few on board activities.

A foot fracture is a break in any of the bones in the foot.\n\nThe foot is made up of 26 small bones. The tarsus is the name for the 7 bones that make up the hindfoot and the midfoot. The forefoot consists of the 5 metatarsals and the 14 phalanges. There are two phalanges in the big toe and three in each of the remaining toes.\n\nA foot fracture can happen in any foot bone, but metatarsal fractures are the most common.\n\n\nPhalanx Fracture of the Foot\n\n\n\n\n\nCauses\nA foot fracture is caused by trauma to the bone. Trauma includes: \n\nFalls\nBlows\nCollisions\nSevere twists\n\nIn addition, when a bone is subjected to repeated stress over a long period of time, small cracks may form in the bone. These are called stress fractures, and certain bones (metatarsals and the talus) in the foot are particularly susceptible to this type of fracture.\n\nRisk Factors\nA risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease, condition, or injury. \n\nAdvancing age\nDecreased muscle mass\nOsteoporosis\nCertain congenital bone conditions\nParticipating in contact sports\nCertain sports that cause repetitive stress such as running\nViolence\n\nSymptoms\nSymptoms include: \n\nPain, often severe\nBruising and swelling in the injured area\nNumbness in toes or foot\nDecreased range of motion\nInability to walk comfortably (although you may be able to walk)\nA lump or visible deformity over the fracture site\n\nDiagnosis\nThe doctor will ask about your symptoms, physical activity, and how the injury occurred, and will examine the injured area. The doctor will order x-rays of the foot to confirm the diagnosis.\n\nTreatment\nTreatment will depend on the severity of the injury. Treatment involves: \n\nPutting the pieces of the bone back in place, which may require anesthesia and/or surgery\nKeeping the pieces together while the bone heals itself\n\nNonsurgical Treatment\nIn a less severe foot fracture, the bones can be realigned without surgery. You may only need crutches and flat-bottom shoes to help protect the fracture. Toes may be splinted together by taping to protect the injured toe.\n\nA more serious fracture may require a splint or cast to hold the bones in place. You will need to use crutches to help you walk.\n\nSurgery\nIn certain severe cases, you will need surgery to realign the bones. The doctor may use a small metal plate with screws, screws alone, or pins to hold the bones in place while healing takes place. A cast or splint will be placed on the foot after surgery. You will need to use crutches to help you walk. The doctor will order more x-rays while the bone heals to ensure that the bones have not shifted.\n\nExercises\nWhen your doctor decides you are ready, start lower body range-of-motion and strengthening exercises. You may be referred to a physical therapist to assist you with these exercises. Do not return to sports until your foot is fully healed.\n\nHealing Time\nMetatarsal bones and the phalanges may heal in 3-6 weeks, but the tarsal bones will take 6-10 weeks to heal.\n\nPrevention\nTo prevent foot fractures: \n\nAlways wear well-fitting, supportive athletic shoes when doing physical activity.\nWear proper shoes for each type of activity to protect your feet.\nEat a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\nCopyright 1999-2006 \nehc.com All rights reserved. \nTerms & Conditions of Use| \nPrivacy Statement  HUGHSTON ORTHOPEDIC HOSPITAL\n100 Frist Court\nColumbus,GA31909Telephone: 1-866-HUGHSTON\nFax: (706) 494-2446
