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.

Your surgeon will probably recommend a surgical shoe for at least several weeks to protect the surgical site. Some people find that pain during recovery is not as bad as the hammertoe! \n\nYou must ask for pain medications if you need them, as every person's perception of pain is different, and your surgeon cannot know how much pain you're in unless you tell hir.\n\nI have read of some people who experienced no significant pain after the first day or two, and others who complained of more. Again, though, work with your surgeon, following hir instructions carefully, and ask for adequate pain relief as necessary.\n\nAverage recovery time is 4-6 weeks, but improvement will be seen each day.\n\nGood luck!

First of all, a broken bone would not necessarily keep you from moving your toes.\n\nThe fact that it didn't really start hurting till several hours later makes it more likely that it was just a bad bruise, which got more painful because you stayed on your feet and allowed the injury to swell up a lot over the next several hours.\n\nThe best thing would have been to elevate the foot, put a cold pack on it, and use an Ace wrap, and stay off the foot as much as possible. You should still do that, and see a doctor if it gets worse or doesn't start getting better in a day or so.

a bruised bone takes a while to heal.  i really don't know anything that will healing up.  but as far as it not coming back, don't do what caused it to bruise in the first place, or find a way that it dosen't cause trauma to the bones.

About 6 weeks if you stay off of it.  Have you been to a doctor?  You need an orthopedic boot.

You did the right thing - going to get it checked out.\n\nA Grade II sprain means there are torn fibres in the ligament, but it hasn't ruptured.  There could be visible bruising as well as swelling, and it will take several weeks to heal fully.\n\nThe inflammatory process that happens as a result of injury pushes fluid out into the tissues over the first 24-48 hours and this is why you should follow the RICE principles of treatment.\n\nNow that this period has passed, the body is starting to heal the injury by laying down collagen fibres (fibrin), and the best healing comes by starting to weight bear at this time - so again, you were spot on by starting to walk at the weekend.\n\nSo for the next week or so, it's a GOOD thing to walk, and to make every effort to walk normally.  If you can't walk without limping, use a crutch or stick to help take some of the weight, and within a few days you should be walking with a normal pattern and full weight again.  \n\nYou shouldn't aim to walk more than usual - but aim for plenty of short frequent walks.\n\nThe ankle will probable stay a little swollen for a while - you could wear a light support for comfort for a while.\n\nSoaking it in warm water now will help, or put a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel on it for a while in the evenings.\n\nMake sure you wear shoes that accommodate the swelling and help you to walk comfortably - lace ups, done up proplerly to help support the foot, runners are ideal.\n\nAll in all, you should be feeling much better very soon.\nGood luck!

I am assuming you have already had it set and in a cast.  Then the best thing you can do is follow your doctors orders.  You need to rest it and keep it elevated.  Take a good multi vitamin to help w/ healing.  You are looking at about 6 weeks of recovery time here.  Remember, rest and elevation and follow doctors orders.  You cant go wrong there.

The coccyx or tail bone should heal like any other bone taking anywhere from a minimum of six weeks to three months.  The bone tissue is likely healed by now but the surrounding soft tissues may not.  Maybe some warm wet compresses such as a wet washcloth applied locally will provide anti-inflammatory relief.  Perform  the sit-ups to tolerance.

Since tendons have a decent blood supply, they'll take a while, but not too long, to recover. I'd say in about 4-6 more weeks you'll be completely recovered.\n\nThere's no risk of breaking the tendon by weight, but you could collapse against it and fall and break something else. Or, if during the surgery, they stitched it, by putting weight on it you could break the stitches. Just don't put weight on it.\n\nNo real vitamins help, but if you'd want real help on that, go see your doctor or a nutrition specialist. I don't think that vitamins will really help tendons though.\n\nWhatever happens, just remember to take the time recovering. Don't try to rush yourself. I did that when i broke my leg in 5 places at once, and since then, my leg hasn't been perfect.

You need to talk to your surgeon or attending physician. There are some activities that they will recommend that you do not participate in for a specific amount of time due to the possibility of re-injury. You're still in the recovery phase and while you shouldn't "sit home and feel sorry for yourself" patience really is a virtue. You're still healing.\n\nGood luck and glad to hear that you're doing well!

Have you gone to a doctor yet?  It might be a sprain or a strain.  That can take anywhere from a few weeks to a year to heal.  I would stay off of it, and use ice if it starts to hurt too badly.  20 minutes with the ice, and 1 hour without it.  Do not keep the ice on for too long, because that can cause damage in and of itself.  I hope you heal up soon, babe!

My mother, about 5 foot 9 and 125 lbs, broke her ankle a few years ago. It took about two years to fully heal. The ankle is one of the slowest healing body parts in the human body, because while it is healing people often still put pressure on it. Be sure to use a wheel-chair and cast as long as it still hurts, or else it may heal incorrectly.

Soft tissue damage..\nthis kind of injury can take months to properly heal to its normal size and use, especially if you have done any walking on it or any kind of exertion ..\n\nGive it time and use an anti inflamitory ( NSAIDS) you will begin to see an improvement..

Approximately 6 months to return to sports that involve cutting and pivoting (basketball, football, soccer, etc.). And then you aren't fully recovered. Things such as running can be done without a repaired ACL, but you can usually get back to them in 2 months. To fully heal and return to normal takes about a year. It's tough to gain all of your strength back as well, that could take years, or never happen.

To heel - may take forever\nTo recover (heal) - some months maybe.

With injuries that extensive, three months recovery is still quite early to expect all to be as new, if at all.\n\nThe best person to ask about this is your doctor.  He knows the exact extent of your injuries and probable recouperation time.\nHe would also know if something needed to be done now or if you should just continue recovering.\n\nGood luck
