fracture calcaneus

(5 discussions)

hello doc,i fractured my calcaneus on may 9, 2013 jumping off a wall and landing on concrete. I went to the doctor who saw me and said he said it will take 2 months from date of injury to heal. I forgot to ask him about any other foot support I would need like a splint or something after the 2 months. I don’t need surgery, doc said I was lucky. he also said the heel is displaced too.

sore sternum

My sternum hurts from an auto accident 3.5 days ago. Don’t know if I actually hit the steering wheel or if it’s from air bag deployment. It felt like I hit my chest hard when I impacted. The pain is specifically in the center.
I’m trying not to rack up a big bill and have my insurance cancelled.
I can lift things.
Mostly hurts when I breathe deeply, cough or sneeze.
The bones still feel solid -not crumbly or crackly, I didn’t cough any blood.
I get relief from ice and Ibuprofen. Any suggestions.
Think this will heal on it’s own? Thanks!

shoulder/arm pain

(2 discussions)

The last few months, I have been experiencing pain in and around my right shoulder, and the blade area. It has eventually travelled down the right arm, and is quite painful in the soft tissue of the elbow region also.During the night, if I sleep on that side, I wake up with that arm numb and no feeling whatsoever in it. It seems to take forever to get the feeling back, and is a sharp pins and needles feeling. It has escalated to not having normal mobility of it through the day. Have a hard job doing up bra with right hand, anything like that etc. I also have the same trouble with my hips, and lower back region annoying me through the night, hence not much rested sleep takes place.Appreciate your opinion.
