I fell down from skating on Aug 2nd(its not funny) and I broke a bone in my elbow and a bone in my hand, the scaphoid. I don’t have insurance and the clinic I go to re-casted me last week and said I have one more month left. But they don’t offer physical therapy The nurse who wrapped me said that the doctor wants me to start moving my fingers and extending my arm but it still hurts and I can’t stretch it out. I’ve been trying to find books and websites that would offer me some info but I’ve been out of luck. So I guess I want to know if you have ever broken a bone
1. How long did it take to get healed
2. Was it the same as before once it healed
3. Did you do physical therapy
4. If you did physical therapy, What type of exercises did you do?
I just need some advice. Thank you.

about 6 months ago i broke my right tibia clean in half. no surgery thank god. i was on crutches for 5 months (full leg cast for 8 weeks, half cast for 8 weeks, and walking boot for 3 weeks) the muscle atrophy in my leg was tremendous. i started physical therapy a month ago and theyve given me a number of exercises that seem to be working, as my muscle is slowly becoming more visible in my recoving leg. but since i started PT ive been having pain in my right knee when i bend it. almost like it is grinding on itself. its excruciating. any ideas?
