sprained wrists take anywhere between 3 months to a full year to fully recover. If you want to help speed up the recovery, i would advise a good multi vitamin every day so that your body has all the building blocs to repair the problem. Also apply cold compress for 30 min and alternate with a hot pad. do this once a day. i hope you get better quickly, i know its not fun to have a sprained wrist!

Piercings usually take 3 months to 1 year to fully heal. But in about a month or 2 your piecing will be ok.

Nothing you can do to hasten mending of broken bones. There is a timetable that your body follows and all healing will follow this timetable whether surgery is performed or not. Just be patient.

It can take up to a few months. It's an injury that can get better faster if you take care not to aggrevate it.

I don't know if a ankle replacement involves screws, but it may be reverberation  in the joint causing the pain.  The slightest reverberation can cause headaches plus other pain.\n\nSo that might be it.\n\nSince I  broke my ankle, I can't tolerate cold in it.  The screws in the plates radiate cold into the bone and it is VERY painful.\n\nI have a padded ankle wrap that I put on mine when it is cold.  The same type might work to help block the viberation.

Successful treatment of AVN requires early diagnosis, prevention of articular deformity, and control of pain secondary to the associated inflammatory reaction present. Most cases of AVN in adults come to either joint replacement or arthrodesis to achieve pain reduction and restoration of hip function. The current technology for hip replacement surgery is such that the joint needs to be replaced after 10 to 15 years. However research is continuing to try to make a more durable product that will last longer. In 15 years time newer technology could easily mean that the replacement will last longer. I would not advise leaving the problem any longer then neccessary without surgery as this will increase the risk of chronic pain and disability.

it's hard to tell, I broke a bone on the side of my foot 4 years ago and had a cast for about a month and a half and was on crutches the entire time.  The bone never healed properly but it doesn't really bother me now.  I guess it all depends on how bad the break was and what doctors tell you!\nGood luck!

I just had a total right metal on metal hip implant 15 days ago. I am 42 and had arthritis secondary to trauma. The surgery was done under local anesthesia via a spinal catheter. I was walking around (with a walker) in 24 hours. The pain I had post surgery was minimal and well controlled with oral agents. \nMy advise is to make sure you have family/friends to help out once you are released from the hospital. You won't be able to perform many of your usual daily activities for the first 2-3 weeks. Make sure you have books, dvds and other interests to occupy your mind. \nMake sure to follow the hip precautions from your surgeon and take you blood thinner to prevent DVTs. Walking on the new hip is the best Physical therapy! So make sure you walk!\nBest of luck!

Ouch.  That is a serious injury.  Any time you injure a weight bearing bone, you will need a professional assessment and ongoing rehab with your Physical Therapist.  Rehab and recovery from this type of injury can take up to 6 months or longer.\n\nYou can probably look up treatment modalities for this injury on the internet (or take answers from those who do the same), but I would strongly suggest you stick with your Physical Therapist as a source of information, as your situation may be unique in relation to location of fractures, muscles affected and rehab protocols necessary for healing.

It usually takes a few weeks for an injury like this to get better.  Avoid sitting down for long periods of time. When seated, sit on hard surfaces and alternate sitting on each side of the buttocks. Also, lean forward and direct your weight away from the tailbone. \nApply ice to the tailbone area for 15-20 minutes, 4 times a day, for the first few days after the injury. You can also use Advil for the pain. If Advil doesn't work for the pain, then you will have to contact your doctor to get something stronger.  You can purchase a doughnut cushion or pillow to sit on. Make sure you eat foods high in fiber to avoid constipation while the area is healing.

Fractures take 6-8 weeks to heal.  I am presuming that no surgery was necessary to fix the bones/that you have no pins in place.  Given that you will need to stay off the foot until the bones are healed.  It will not be pain free once the cast (you may not even be in a cast yet, but you will be) comes off, but use your head about activity.\n\nThe tarsals can be a tricky group of bones to get complete healing.  Your doctor may be waiting for the swelling to decrease and for things to settle down before making any prognosis.  Ask him or her at your next appointment.  With this group of bones, it is entirely possible you that you will need physical therapy.  Ask you doctor about a "Les Franc" injury.  This is a special case that has a particularly bleak prognosis as far as your foot ever being normal again. \n\nIs there anything to do right now?  Not really.  If you smoke, stop.  Eat a healthy diet.  Keep things elevated and iced.  \n\nIs there some sort of desk duty or something you can do at your work, because if you need full use of your foot to do your work, its going to be a few months.

I have had it for 8 years. It is not pleasant. It is a sharp pain that never goes away and that pills will only barely help. It is an ongoing thing. I had surgery 6 yrs ago to open the blood flow back up b/c with AVN the blood supply to the joints gets slowed down. Eventually the hip ball joint will collapse and will need a hip replacement. If u need any info or any help or anything let me know. I'd be happy to help.
