Hi The Wrinkle. Thanks for watching and good luck.

[@mom2boys170]

When my (then 5 yr old) son broke his arm, the only real sign was pain. Very little swelling, absolutely no immediate bruising. So add Mom’s intuition to the list 😉. Only 4 weeks to heal! Kids are jerks. And the old “if you can move it, it’s not broken” is BS as well.

[@TalkingWithDocs]

Hi Mom2Boys. So yes pain is the key. Do not ignore it. Some kids are very tough. Usually no bruising early on. And no - kids are not jerks. Kids are kids. And yes agreed, you can sometimes move a broken bone depending on how broken and where the problem is. Thanks as always for watching.

[@chryseass.5143]

Ha,ha, Docs, when I broke both my ankles last year, I kind of knew right away from the signals my body was giving me! I also heard the left one pop as I went down! Yes, the x rays officially confirmed it at St. Mike's Emerg but shock, a feeling that something really bad had just happened, immediate significant swelling, heat and discoloration and, above all, not being able to bear any weight at all, were key indicators that lunch was officially over and my next ride was in an ambulance! It has taken about a year to fully recover- that is, after physiotherapy, learning to walk properly again, and finally, trusting that my ankles are as strong as they were before the accident. I had never broken a bone before that but certainly it is a far different feeling than just sustaining a sprain!

[@TalkingWithDocs]

Hi Chryseas S. Wow! Bilateral ankle fractures. That would be along recovery. Good for you for persevering and coming out on the other side. Continued good health to you. Thanks for watching.

[@chryseass.5143]

@@TalkingWithDocs Thank you for creating this channel- it really does help people at times when they really need good and clear information. No disrespect to the hospital or to the fantastic doctors and technicians that I met ( and thank goodness for OHIP!) but the follow up care and direction that I received was woefully lacking. Not one professional that I dealt with asked me how I was going to cope at home (or even how I was going to get back to the waiting room after I had been casted up!) There was no ongoing plan for me once I had left the hospital premises except for having scheduled follow up visits to the Fracture Clinic at St. Mikes which ironically is located below ground level and has several steps down to the front door ( there is a wheelchair elevator as well, but I had no idea how to use it at the first visit!) I did recover with the help of very good friends and the sheer luck that I live in a one level dwelling but someone in a more vulnerable or isolated position may have been left in a very serious bind. I think that hospitals need to enquire a little more about their patient's circumstances - not everyone has family at home to look after them. Thanks again- I certainly learned a lot from my broken ankle "journey!" I continue to support this channel and have recommended it to others.

I've broken 5 bones and only a buckle fracture on my wrist had significant swelling. I have a bad track record of not thinking I have broken something and not going to the ER. I ended up not going to the hospital for my wrist for 2 weeks cause it was the first day of the ski trip and the medics thought I sprained it so I bowled and skied for the rest of the week. When I snapped my left humerus in half about as close to my shoulder as you could get and it didn't even swell or discolor so I went 4 days before going to the ER to get it checked.

What are your options on standing outside of a car second door open, put arm through to put the lock down on the passenger window in the front. Friend shut the door with arm still in between. Main point is on the otter arm in the middle. Instant pain of course. There is a lump there starting to bruise but is not severely swollen or bruised. Had a strange feeling of pain and both stuck like it needed to be pushed back or something. Was a tight bursting feeling like it needed to be pushed if that makes sense? That was last night- iced it rest etc. pain still there and certain positions are worse like just letting it rest on my leg: heard a couple of clicks now after it happened not at the time. Was not sure if it was just bruising not a bad injury. Pain occasionally goes down into the fingers. What do you think to leave it ? I know I don’t have x ray vision either was just curious what your opinions are. Again not massively swollen and bruised but pain is intense. Maybe the lump I can feel is a tendon or something ? Thank you to any advice !!!

And when I wake up I can’t even close my fist . So I go to urgent care yesterday wait a hr after I convinced them to do a X-ray and she said I don’t see a broken bone must be Pseudo gout???? This is insane! I have had broken bones. As matter fact I have full hip replacement now and walked on a broke leg for 3 days . This feels broke. Or at least a ligament or tendon. But gout/ I don’t eat red meat or anything like that. She give me steroids just like the last provider that did not help. What should I do . I’m desperate 🙏❤️🦋

When you break a bone, do you always have to go to a doctors office? My mom is an NNP and when I broke my toe she just taped it to another toe and it was fine

[@TalkingWithDocs]

For the toe it’s probably ok.

i slipped on the pool a week ago and i landed on my wrist, but it looks normal and there’s no difference between my two hands, but it hurts when i move it hard, what is this? i dunno..

[@TalkingWithDocs]

Hi Gta hoods. It is hard to say. May be a sprain. There are some subtle fractures that are not severely painful but still serious. If it keeps hurting you should see your doctor and get an xray. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing with someone if you did.

My arm was twisted by my ex fiancé the next day I could hardly use it it felt like he was about to snap my arm in half that’s been about two weeks or longer since it happened and it still hurts so bad to lift it over my head to lay on it to pick things up to turn it when I straighten both arms out the right one is straight the left is slightly bent what could be wrong please and thank you.

I have 3 of the things on the list I had cracked the bone like a year ago and I fell hard on the same arm you think it's broken?

Hi Seth. If it was one year ago it is unlikely to still be broken but not impossible. Best to get an xray and go from there. Good luck. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing with someone if you did.

[@eddies8856]

When I broke my arm, it was terrible but that's because my nerve that's in the middle of my arm got cut slightly, that was the worst pain I have ever felt in my whole life, would have died if my surgeon hadnt done a nerve transfer... Thank goodness I only had a closed fracture. This was a year ago when I was 12, so yeah, I could have died but lucky I didn't! I hope this comment didn't scare anyone, I didn't intend to, and what happened to me was kinda rare so please don't worry.. but, if your child or Someone you know broke their bone, just know that they aren't having a great time right now :)

I fractured my left arm 10 plus years ago when I fell off my bike while riding it when it was raining. Was in a cast for 6 weeks, ever since then my shoulder pops multiple times if I roll my shoulder back, it doesn't hurt, just don't know what that is.

Hi Michelle. If it doesn't cause you a lot of discomfort it may be something relatively benign. We worry about clicks and cracks when they are associated with pain or dysfunction. Good luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did.

I sprained my ankle and landed dead on my shoulder. There’s a 6 inch line just below the shoulder that feels like there is a large 6 inch splinter rubbing every time I lift my arm…which means, I’m in excruciating pain and don’t lift my arm. Every time I go to the ER, there’s an 8-10 hour wait list for Covid patients. This happened two weeks ago. It’s agonizing!

Hi I dont' give a ... so you need to get assessed with an examination and xray to make sure it is not broken. There is a high chance you have some rotator cuff damage. Best of luck to you. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing with someone if you did.

Hey guys I broke my Tibia Plateau in 16. Healed great. Been working and active since. I recently jumped on it, and a week later I had pain. Got an X-ray. Nothing was broken. But I cannot weight bear. Should I get another Xray?

[@TalkingWithDocs]

Hi Str8Strength. So early on it may just be related the soft tissues or even a bone bruise. If the first xray was normal but you continued to pain we may consider a new xray at a week or two as sometimes the fracture can be more visible at that time. Best advice is that if you are still really sore, get assessed. Hope that helps.Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did.
