ibuprofen and fracture healing

I was able to to maintain my erection and finish. The next day, I had pain on the top right side of my penis and took 600 mg of ibuprofen every 6 to 8 hours. The pain was about a 3/4 out of 10. On Tuesday, I had very minor/mild pain and got an erection and masturbated. I was able to finish but some pain during and afterwords. Since Tuesday, I have not done anything sexual but continue to be in pain while flaccid.

Hello. I was hit by a car in late March and broke my left tibia. Surgery was performed and I had a rod inserted just below the knee to the shin. I just had my three month follow up examination and the fracture still hasn't healed. I've been diligent with my physical therapy and I have full flexibility in the leg. I can bend the leg at the knee and I can fully extend it. I can put weight on the leg and the doctor no longer requires me to wear the surgical boot.

Thought it was due to antibiotics and pain meds, but have been off of everything for 2 weeks except Tylenol and ibuprofen. (mostly Tylenol) -Slight sinus inflamation & tight breathing. Nothing is blocked, but it feels like I'm not breathing as freely as normal and that I can't fill my lungs. It may be anxiety, but I don't know for sure. Comes and goes. -Blood pressure rises particularly at night. Had to get my BP medicine changed to get BP down to normal.

3 weeks ago I fractured my left clavicle and sustained a large hematoma on my left forearm, right below the elbow, along with some serious bruising to my upper left arm and chest where my body absorbed the fall impact.. The fracture is healing well but the hematoma is subsiding only slightly; it is appears about 1/2 the size of an egg. The coloration has improved a bit and I'm not in any chronic pain, I feel a little stiffness at night and morning.

Hi. I have a broken sesamoid in my right foot. It was caused by a kickboxing accident about 14 months ago (summer 2019). The initial x-ray I had didn't pick up the fracture and it was diagnosed by a recent MRI (October 2020). I'm currently wearing a walking fracture boot and have been told to wear it for 6 weeks. I've been wearing it for a week, but still get pain and clicking in the big toe joint.

I just repeated the xray of the right ankle and it was dark in the area of the fracture. I fell March 19 and it has been 4 1/2 months since the fracture. Should it not be back to normal by now? I still have residual pain. I am only starting to be able to go down stairs properly but not consistently. I feel jarring in my right ankle and return to leading with the left foot down the stairs. I am set to return to my full duties at work.

suggests that your callous formation at the fracture site has started but it needs further healing and is progressing and you would need further rest for a period of one month. Your symptoms suggests significant improvement, but I suggest you to go slow and follow all the future instructions of your Surgeon and schedule the next visit and go ahead in asking all your questions.

Hi, Thanks for writing in. Jones fracture or dancer’s fracture is a fracture of the fifth metatarsal of the foot. The fifth metatarsal is at the base of the small toe, and the proximal end, where the Jones fracture occurs, is in the midportion of the foot. Patients who sustain a Jones fracture have pain over this middle/outside area of their foot, swelling, and difficulty walking.

m wondering if I increase my activities at my gym, will this help or hurt the healing process? I use the treadmill and walk in the pool and ride the bike. Also try to do a hot tub for 15 minutes before bed. Any ideas would be much appreciated. I'm only 65 and am NOT ready for a rocking chair! I want my active lifestyle back and am willing to work for it.

I pulled a chest muscle 2weeks ago, ive been taking ibuprofen and putting ice on it.. nothing is helping.. Ive had 3 ecg, bloodwork doen and a chets x-ray they all turned out normal.. I need reassurance, does that rule oout any problems with my heart?

I fell on my left side, bruising the lowestt 3 or 4 ribs. I went to a nearby walk in clinic for X-ray and exam. Fracture and lung involvement ruled out. The pain during the day is improving and very tolerable but at night a different story. After sleeping a couple of hours and trying to roll over, there is excruciating pain and a popping or clicking sound. Especially when trying to roll over to the uninjured side.

Talked to his pediatrician and they said to keep an eye on it rest, ice, and ibuprofen which we have done. Now the pain seems worse there is still swelling and he can barley move his arms or anything without pain. Should I be concerned that he may have a sternal fracture or is it likely just bruised and muscle pain? Am I better off taking him to an immediate care facility or taking him to his peditrician? Thank you for any input on this.

Thanks for your reply. Had x-ray last week and it was neg for fracture. I have been using ice and NSAIDs but continue with pain and swelling. I am wearing a brace also. My pain is on the ulnar side and at times just throbs and aches. sometimes I also have a burning pain. I have very limited range of motion. Any thoughts on what all this could be and what the next step would be? Thanks again for your time!

I have a fracture of the left 2nd metatarsal that is still healing and my Dr. has ordered physical therapy. What I want to know is will physical therapy help in the healing process of a fracture or is that something that should be done once the bone has healed?

Usually 6-8 but not uncommon for this to take 3 months to see healing. Remmeber that x-ray healing lags behind actual healing because first the body puts cartilage like substance and then bone grows overtop. I'd go off your pain and symptoms but it's good to get interval x-rays to make sure that fracture isn't gapping a bunch.

Well yes, lack of female hormones post hysterectomy may be associated with slow/ decreased ossification which may sow the process of fracture healing. However though it may play a role, it is not a major factor if compensated with a healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle. You may like to discuss this in detail with your treating doctor. Hope this information helps. Take care!

I am two weeks into a Jones Fracture. I've had the same fracture on the opposite foot years ago and it healed well in 3 months. I'm wearing an orthopedic boot, supplementing Ca/D/K2 and using a bone stimulator. After two weeks the swelling is massively reduced and there is no pain. Can performing active, non-resisted range of motion exercises be harmful to the healing process? What about slight weight bearing? Note that neither activity causes any pain.

I applied the ice pack and took painkillers.

If in the latest present day X-ray the healing is complete and there is no fracture do not worry about swelling as this is due to the movements or therapy you are undergoing. Take some anti inflammatory drugs and the swelling will subside, most important thing is to confirm the healing before proceeding for active therapy., Take care!

Post traumatic headaches are commonly observed in patients with trauma or injury to the head. It is good that the maxillary sinus fracture is healing nicely and that you are being closely monitored by an opthalmologist. The headache may be managed by pain medications and relaxation techniques like biofeedback therapy. This may occur weeks to even months after the injury. Take care and do keep us posted.

1) I am a smoker (1 pack a day) and was wondering if quitting or stopping smoking could benefit me with the healing of my bone. I read that smoking significantly delays or even prevents certain fractures from healing and I'm wondering if I stop now will my chances of non-invasive healing improve? If so, by how much? Does anyone have any experiences where they stopped smoking and started noticing improvements with their fracture?

HI, As your Doctor is treating your son as a minor fracture, it would be best to take some rest and follow Doctor’s advice. Your son is young and into competitive sports and hence he needs to be extra careful. Little precautions taken now will facilitate proper healing and prevent any chronic problems in future. Hope this helps.
