My arm is killing me 😭

Hope all of you are doing well today.

My broken arm is so sore and achy. 😣 Well it’s been healing for a long time but with dampness and cold weather it gets worse.

Any recommendations will be appreciated.

Im not a doctor. But i have had many breaks, tears, repairs and recently replacement.
I can tell you that stretching and light strengthening exercises have been key to my ability to move.
Also, as much as you want to use heat, a combination of ice and heat is most helpful. And if possible...ibuprofen.

All I can think of is to stay indoors in the warm, perhaps with a dehumidifier?

And do something that takes your mind off it.

Here's a silly idea: make a list of all those things that you do that normally require two hands and practise doing them with one. Concentrating hard on that might distract you from the pain.

The dampness and cold always got to my broken arm also but does not any longer so there is that. I don't think you have a choice but to wait it out though you might want to lay a heating pad on it to see if that does any good.

@Monday40 Did they have to put any metal in that really picks up the weather.
Monday40 · 51-55, F
@Subsumedpat no but she has mentioned surgery a time or two but I m not having it
Subsumedpat · 36-40, M
@Monday40 Really, I thought for a break they decided right away , surgery or it will heal when immobilized.

For the short term, may be local external appications of hyperemiant creams, based on acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin).
For the long term, rehabilitation. Perhaps Tai Chi Chuan.

@ElRengo I have done a lot of physical therapy and it’s still bad. I’m thinking about getting it looked at again.

@Monday40
I would suggest some more in deep exams there to discard / confirm and give attention to eventual muscular / artcular / local nerves trauma,

@ElRengo thank you 😊

Hi....I've got bad knees and 2 torn rotator cuffs....I found that a product called Bio-Freeze works the best for me anyway...Comes in a roll-on or a cream or patches or ointment....Couple Motrin and Bio-Freeze usually does the trick for me!!!Good luck!!

Yeah, cold can cause the skin to contract which puts pressure on the nerves, so the injured area aches more.

Try to stay warm is about all you can do.

Ice, pain killers, hot soaks, heating pad, elevating your arm, rest, ace bandage plus time.

Hope you feel better soon . I wish I could advise but I’m not a doctor
Aysel · F
Sorry. Wishing you a speedy recovery from your arm injury.
ronisme1 · 61-69, M
Tylenol as needed
Monday40 · 51-55, F
@ronisme1 I can’t take Tylenol. I am on Percocet
ronisme1 · 61-69, M
@Monday40 that is so much stronger than tylenol. Im sorry for your pain levels
Monday40 · 51-55, F
@ronisme1 thank you. Right now I just feel drained 🙁

How did you injure it?
Monday40 · 51-55, F
@SSDecontrol I fell down and broke it. It still bothers me a lot especially during cold weather.
Lilymoon · F
Feel better soon
Teslin · M
Ibuprofen, but I know it's for some temporary relief.
I hope it fully heals soon.
