Avatar f tn Yesterday as I put my razor down after shaving, my toddler came into the bathroom, picked it up and rubbed it on his hand. I grabbed it from him immediately but noticed some broken skin around the nail cuticle. (I am unsure if this was caused by said razor or not). I did not notice any blood on the razor but there was a tiny spot of blood appear on my leg a minute later so I must have nicked myself before my child took it.
1042423 tn?1260994959 m pretty clumsy and have had some pretty hard falls before, but never broken a bone in my life. Anyways, the Dr just gave me some pain meds and put a brace around my ribcage, and then sent me on my way. He said there really wasn't anything else that could be done. How long will this take to heal? What kind of activities should I avoid? I'm a 29 yr old female with a toddler, so I'm pretty active. Are there any warning signs that could signify that it's getting worse?
Avatar m tn I was in a half cast, basically on the back of my leg and below the foot for a touch over a week, so I was unable to move my ankle and leg and was on crutches. Then 2 days ago I went to the outpatients department and the doc took the cast off me and told me to start walking on it with the aid of crutches as it isn't the weight bearing bone. He said that the bone will heal by itself without the cast and even with me putting a bit of pressure on it.
Avatar m tn First, it is essential to know that what unusual symptoms you are facing after broken screw. It may be possible that broken screw can impinge nerve and lead to some neurological symptoms. Please consult to a neurologist for a detailed approach. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn Its been a crazy day! I'm 39 weeks 2 days. I had contractions ALL night which is pretty typical for me except last night they were a lot more intense. Then as I'm trying to get my 2 yr old out the door for daycare & work he throws up. Spend the next hour cleaning vomit & finding sub's for work. Then after another very sad hour we finally settle down. Lunchtime comes & my toddler asks for crackers & cheese.

Avatar f tn Hi ..right leg broken severly after 7 months no improvement in bone..
1542537 tn?1293207098 Hi, broken bones take a varying amount of time to heal, mostly depending upon the type of bone broken, the age of the person, and the way in which the bone is broken. Larger broken bones, for example the bones in the thigh, or both bones of leg would take a great deal longer to heal, usually six weeks to three months in the average healthy adult. Begin physical therapy as soon as is practical. That will help.
Avatar f tn Toddlers do not adapt easily to change, so it's possible that the alteration of the physical environment has been unsettling. However, three weeks is not a long time. Stick with the usual routine, and don't 'rescue' him when he wakes up at night. He has to learn to fall back to sleep on his own, and he can only do that with experience. you're the parent, so you will do whatever you think is best. My guidance, though, is absolutely to not have the children in the same room.
Avatar n tn 30 at night. She falls asleep easily on her own. This all started when we moved from crib to toddler bed. So I put her in bed with me so she wouldn't wake her twin brother. And it's been down hill ever since. She acts like she wants to sleep at night. She acts mad that she's being awakened in the night. But something seems to be bothering her to keep her from sleeping. Please help!
5731802 tn?1375572607 I have child of mine too, I even have their brand toddler beds for my older too they hold up believe me my sons jump bounce and crash into their beds all the time and they aren't broken
Avatar f tn Has anyone broken their pelvis during pregnancy? I broke mine in a car accident years ago and never had any problems with my first baby. This baby dropped at 28wks and my dr says he is almost certain this baby has broken it again. I'm scheduled for csection next week, which is a huge relief with the pain, but he said it could take 6-12wks to heal. Was wondering what other peoples experience was? Did it get better after delivery?
Avatar m tn my son had nenmonia which led to ostomialitus and a broken leg. this was all eighteen months ago. he is now 3 and a half years old but still walks with a very stiff leg and can not walk up and down stairs with out putting his hand on his knee to use as a support or for leaverage. he has recovered his muscle lost which happened due to his broken leg. His pediatrition has no answer to this stiffness, walking issue...
Avatar f tn Has anyone broken their Tibia and fibia? I broke mine two years ago and am still having problems. I have a plate and eleven screws. I am thinking of having them taken out in the hopes that it will releive some of the discomfort. Any information from someone who has done this would be great.
Avatar m tn I would also try to straighten it out throughout the day by putting it in my left pant leg between my pants and my leg. Anyway... it still works fine now it just has a slight curvature to the left. My question is could there still be complications associated with the fracture or do you think I'm fine? Also do you think it's possible that my penis did not fully develop to it's full potential size due to the fracture?
Avatar n tn Tibia is the shin bone that bears most of the weight and the Fibula is the splint bone located on the outside of the lower leg. In the case of a closed fracture there may be swelling and discolouration due to the large amounts of blood that emanate from a fractured bone. The usual healing time for a mid-shaft Tibia and Fibula fracture treated with cast immobilisation is 12 to 16 weeks.
Avatar n tn Hi about a year ago while i was doing jumping jacks i pulled a muscle in my left leg now i have a pain in my inner groin, when i step a certain way or try to do any jumping exercises.
Avatar f tn So many days all i can do is just lay and im forcing myself up just to entertain my toddler and feed him n stuff. Im praying i get a boost of energy once i have this baby. Even tho ny sleep will be broken up more.
Avatar f tn The usual period for healing is around 6-8 weeks, but lower leg fractures take a little more to recover. The initial one week period is also taken into account. Follow up is advised every two weeks to see whether alignment is proper or not. In case of misalignment found at any point of treatment surgery might be necessary. Hope this information was helpful. Best.
Avatar m tn In 2019 bolt came out in right leg and lodged so I could straighten leg, needed a revision had it done.
