This is a question for your doctor. No one tell you how to heal yourself. You need professional advise. It depends on how you are healing. Doctors must take X-rays and physical therophy (spelling?). I suppose you must excercise according to a specialist instructions. I would consult the doctor would did the shoulder replacement. Never take advise just from any lay person this could cause complications that could have permenant damage on your health and shoulder. Do the right thing please :)/

I have worked one many with this type of fracture. You can get back but you will need to work hard. But this type of fracture is part of the joint . Your knee may always be weak and have some pain. I wish you luck

it will eventually heal itself, but if damaged to severly (broken bones) it may never be quite right again. See a doctor before the bones mend improperly and need to be rebroken to reset.

You are absolutely right!  A thick band of bone DOES in fact form around a broken bone after a break, and this thickening is called a callus.\n\nAlthough they may appear dry and lifeless, bones are just as alive as the tissue that surrounds them. Inside the hard outer part of a bone is a spongy center filled with blood vessels and special cells that constantly tear down and rebuild the bone from the inside out. Bone cells called OSTEOCLASTS are like a demolition crew, breaking down old bone material.  Meanwhile cells called OSTEOBLASTS are like a construction crew, building up new bone material as the old stuff is demolished. \n\nSo how do these cells help broken bones heal? When a bone breaks, a blood clot forms around the break.  The osteoclasts near the site of the break immediately begin clearing away the "rubble" (any broken shards of bone, uneven edges, etc).  Meanwhile, the osteoblasts create the thickened bone callus to replace the blood clot and hold the broken bone together. At the same time, the osteoblasts also produce new bone material to repair the damage.   After many weeks, when the bone has regained its structural integrity and can support weight, the osteoclasts function again to "chew" the callus away.  \n\nDepending on the bone and the severity of the fracture, after several weeks its hardworking cells can repair a broken bone as good as new.

Get a clue, your body is trying to tell you something. You need to see your doctor.\n\nTreatment may include:putting ice packs on the injured area for 20 to 30 minutes every 3 to 4 hours for 2 to 3 days or until the pain goes away, taking anti-inflammatory medications prescribed by your doctor and doing rehabilitation exercises to help you return to your activity.\n\nWhile you are recovering from your injury, you will need to change your activity to one that does not make your condition worse. You may need to swim instead of running.

RICE: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation.  In other words:  don't use the ankle-let it rest & heal; apply ice several times a day; wrap it in an ace bandage or ankle immobilizer & keep it elevated.  \nThe amount of time to heal depends on how badly it was sprained.  It can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks.

Talk to your doctor about what exercises you can do.  You don't want to injure your ankle or disrupt the healing.

Bone fractures can affect muscles in two ways. First, during fracture (or spasm after fracture) the sharp ends of a fractured bone may pierce surrounding muscles and damage them directly (they heal though). Second, when the fracture is healing and the bone is immobilized, surrounding muscles atrophy and need to be exercised to gain their previous strength and volume after the bone heals.

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.

No.  It takes time for a bone to heal,usually weeks.\n  You may be causing yourself more healing time  or more damage if you are not careful,especially on your cruise where you are bound to have a few drinks and whoop it up with  a few on board activities.

4-5 weeks if you're big superstar like 'Goldenballs Beckham" who has access to finest medical science can offer. Best to let it rest for 6-8 weeks. Eat healthily and it'll heal, all broken bones do. \nAnd thank God for that.

First of all, you need more milk! Then you can get some knee braces and then more milk. Then so some knee exercises with weights and then more milk. Then stretch it out then put some ice and then... go to sleep and let the healing begin. Wake up, and then more milk.

A femur fracture that has to be repaired is going to be a long time in the healing. Femur fractures are extremely painful and dangerous due to their proximity to the femoral artery. But as far as surgery goes if the Doc knows what he's doing it's a long but fairly safe procedure. Good luck!
