Fractured Patella

I tripped and fell on my knee…and when I went to the hospital they took x-rays and said that I had a fractured patella..i’m not in much pain but I can’t bend my knee. I can sorta put some pressure on my leg and walk sort of but i’m stayin on crutches for the most part. I have to go to another doctor and he’ll tell me how bad of a fracture it is. is it possible for u to tell me how bad it is by readin my condition? cuz I heard that if the fracture is really bad i’ll need surgery and i’m not lookin forward to that. any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated… Thank you Serah

support for ribs

(2 discussions)

I have broken most of the ribs on my left side. They have never healed for support and so if I do not use my hand to hold myself up, I find myself falling to the side and cannot sit up straight. If I go anywhere I have to have my husband to sit next to me to keep me from falling over. Is there a brack that can give me the support on that side to be able to sit straight?

broken collar bone in austria!!

(2 discussions)

While I was backpacking in Europe this winter, I fell in the snow on my sholder and broke my right collar bone. I was trapped in Vienna for a month before I could move on. The Austrian doctors sent me on my way with only a cloth sling and a half-dozen pain killers. I was told it would all be alright in 6-8 weeks and it has since been almost five months. Lately I have been getting a bit of discomfort and pain, and I’m not sure if the bone is slowly starting to move around and get deformed. I am doing a bit of heavy lifting for my job.I’m scared I may screw something up or –worse– have to go into surgery to have it rebroken and recast. Please, does anyone have any advice??
