broken arm

[homerbart]

As you may know i broke my upper arm about 10 weeks ago - now I am suffering searing pain in it - it was so bad last week i went back to hospital who x-rayed it and said it was fine - can anybody tell me what these pains are - is it getting better - they are insufferable. i have not got physio as there is a backlog but will be getting it in about 3 weeks time. any consolation out there

I'd ask on body and soul in Health. Or go to docs

[homerbart]

have been to doctors they say arm will take 6 months to heal.

[4getmenot]

then maybe take some painkillers till then and see

I imagine it is part of the healing process, although saying that, limb breakages can often lead to lifelong random pains in the region of that week � or as some say during certain weather. I often get agonising pains in both my knees and one of my elbows for the same reasons.

[Octavius]

er 'that week' is meant to be 'that break'.

[homerbart]

i am just in from my neighbours who is also riddled with pain - she talked about a trapped nerve - could that be it.

Homerbart, I sympathise with you. I broke my wrist several years ago and it quite often hurts so much I can't put much pressure on it. I find using deep heat on mine helps the pain.
