Guest guest Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Dear Family, I just got back from the Ortho Dr. It has been 3 weeks and the exrays are identical!!! So I am still wearing my pretty denim blue cast! Dr. did the same traction molding to make sure the cast is putting pressure on the sway of the broken leg. He says " c " is only good for my name, not my leg. But I mentioned that my other leg was starting to ache and throb at night. He checked it out, and is afraid that I am getting a stress fracture on that one too! He did an exray, and it does show some changes right where the slight bump in on the bone. SO no more hopping, crutches, twisting on one foot, etc. It will be me, the recliner and a good book. The Dr. talked to my husband about keeping things accessible, or not at all, no exceptions! AGAIN, I am going to nag all of you, please be careful, we do not heal like other people, and this is no fun. Sorry I am such a crank! Very Gentle Hugs & prayers, Carol M. in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 I know how you feel i had a stress fracture on my foot had to wear a camowalker cast from March to July I was told by the doctor that in a normal person it would of healed in 4 weeks but it took me 4 months. Did you do anything to yours to break it I didn't I was told that sometimes this happens with RA I have to go.
