Question:

HELP! My arm has been broken for 3 months and looks like there is no improvement!?

I broke my right ulna on or about March 15 2007 and I had my 3rd follow-up x-ray today, and it looks the same as it did a month ago! It was a complete fracture, the bone has a complete separation. It also is a transverse fracture, at a right angle to the length of the bone. I am so frustrated, what can my doctor do? I feel like it will never heal!!!! It has been 3 months since I broke it. Any help, info, suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

Answers:

first of all how old are you ? if you are younger it can heal rather quickly. if you are older it can take a while for new bone to grow. and it can bother you for a while. If it still bothers you after 3 months then you should really see about getting some physical therapy for your arm, i would call your doctor and see what he recommends. good luck
