Most broken arms are treated with a cast for 6-8 weeks and then after physio, nearly all are back to near normal!. However complications can occur!.
I broke mine nearly 4 years ago, cast for 6 weeks but was still in a lot of pain!. I've now had 5 operations on mine and have been left with a permanent disability, so a break is not always as straight forward as it might seem!. Her diabetes might also play a part in the slow recovery!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yea, actually way too long!. my friend broke his arm also a couple of years ago and he only had a cast on for i think 3 months!. but 7 months!? she must have very low calcium and vitamin d levels because if they were normal her arm would be healed by now!. ur bones need calcium to be strong and grow and u need vitamin d for ur bones to absorb the calcium!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Depending on the severity of the crack!? I broke my arm thrice and each took approximately 2-3 months to heal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
