Hi, Our suggestion would be to do hot water fermentation along with Cold (ice) therapy. You shall also keep a pillow under the knee while sleeping, next is you can keep ice in the painful area for about 5--10 minutes.

For undisplaced fistula fracture 6 Wk plaster is usually sufficient. After 31st dec you can start walking. Increase your distance and speed gradually.

Hello there. I had a fracture in my hand a month ago. Now the plaster has been removed. But I'm still unable to straighten up my hand and when I try to do it, it hurts. What shall I do? It's on the same position now as it was when I had the plaster on. I cannot straighten up my hand. It's just stiff. Please help. Thank you.

Dear lybrate-user, plaster stiffness is a know shortcoming of plastering, and its more problematic in hand, all you need to do is get and X ray done and show it to us, secondly keep your fingers moving gradually, because that will slowly over the effect of plastering and gradually you will gain movement.
Thanks.

Hi
Review with a check x-ray with your treating doctor.
At this stage, if healing has occurred then simple hot water dipping and gradual flexion and extension exercises will restore movements in another 2 weeks or so
nothing to worry.

Asked for male, 55 years old from Meerut

I am 55 years old. I got a fracture in tibia bone 14 days back. Now the fibre plaster has become loose and there is a little pain in my knee. So is there anything to worry or is it normal to get a little pain in fracture when the plaster becomes loose. Please suggest.

It has perhaps been loosened by reduced swelling. Better to ask your ortho specialist. However if everything is ok, you may add one or two classic ayurveda medicine to your regime like laxadi g and sudhasaptak etc to fast recovering the calcium needs. Pl consult if needs further guidance.

Asked for male, 19 years old from Rourkela

My aunt has got a elbow fracture. She is around 39 age. She actually fell down from chair. She is but of skinny person. We have done X-Ray it's showing dislocation of the bone. The doctor said we have to operate. But that time there was some cuts on the fracture area so the doctor said we will do half plaster and when you all go and make a decision about operations. So we went to local desi operate because of the present demand. And he fix the hand straight and has done bamboo plaster. So it's around know 15 to 20 days of the bamboo plaster. But know the present is telling she is feeling straight back like earlier and felling pain but also she has stopped taking pain killer. So we are thinking about operation or full plaster. Full plaster because it's not necessary to operate in bone fractures.

It is because of mild restriction in the blood flow after trauma and so use crepe bandage for six months more and it should go on its own
