There was more pain in that area ever than in my hip. I did not just fall over, I sailed through the air, body turning to land on my side on concrete. I had a huge hematoma on my elbow and the nurses were dismayed. One even took a picture of it with her phone.
But I am serious about them not treating even compound fractures. Here they do not put a cast on. I know three people, one with lower leg badly fractured bones sticking out and the doctors did not cast it. A friend with badly broken foot, no casts, and another who by choice did not go to the doctor because you can not ride a horse with a cast and that was his living.
Maybe things are done differently here.
If I rest and ice the pain goes away. As has been said we all heal at a different pace.
I am sure I have done far more than I should have. But I live alone and not in an area where people help each other. So other than hire my lawn mowed I have done what had to be done. I started shortly after the break trying to get my furnace replaced. I resorted to wood heat and back to asking for propane. This is as doless a place I have ever lived in.
I do thank you for your concern and I should never have brought it up I guess. Because I can not get anything done here as far as after care is concerned.
