update…I’ve been in a hand crafted splint for my arm and one for my hand for close to 4 weeks now. I’ve regained some movement in my arm and I feel like there is hope. My hand is still pretty useless but I realize that’s the last to heal.How are others who’ve had this injury doing??

I fractured my knee over the summer. A couple of wks ago I was walking my dog, he pulled me I fell with all my weight on that knee. Since then I have severe pain when I walk, swelling. Ibuprofen and tylenol, bracing does not help. Dr. says it’s not broke she thinks I bruised a bone. What do you think?P.S. She only x-rayed it never did a MRI, she told me to go to physical therapy for 3 wks. and if its not better to let her know.

I fractured my right heel 6/1/09 jumping off a 7 ft railing, over a bush, in the dark, with sandels on. No insurance. Got a pair of crutches. Went to er 1 week later. They took x-rays, put foot in a splint. From june 28th to july 3rd, the pain was excrutiating as the bone and foot was healing. I found a docter who works out of his home, $25 dollars for 20 minutes of pt-it helps alot. He said I also sprained my foot, hence the stiffness and soreness. Now 9 weeks later, I am putting weight on it by practicing getting out of a chair- that is a good excercise, and swimming. I am a painter, and I am hoping to get to work soon. I told everyone that God would heal it, and so far he has. Other good exercises are wiggling your toes and kicking your heal out while lifting your toes. The hospital reduced my bill dramatically. My prayers are with those with broken bones.

I would like to know that after this injury if it is possible that it can happen again. I have very small knee caps.
