  • Breaking a bone can be one of the most painful types of injuries. (I should know. I broke a bone in my ankle in college!) It’s also scary not knowing when it will heal and when you can return to sports or exercise. In this Ask Dr. Geier video, I answer the question from a reader who wonders when she can play soccer after a fracture.

    Ashley in Derbyshire asks:
    Hello Dr. Geier,
    I fractured my fibula playing soccer, I have currently been training for the past 3-4 weeks now. I just have a slight little pain in my leg. Can I play contact soccer as of this weekend? Or should I rest it for a little longer? It has been 11 weeks this Saturday coming. I’m running around fine on it as well.
    The fibula is the bone on the outside of the leg and ankle. You can break it at the ankle (lateral malleolus) with an inversion injury to the ankle similar to the way most ankle sprains occur.
    In this video, I explain the process of returning to sports after a distal fibula/lateral malleolus fracture. It applies to all fractures, really. I discuss time for the bone to heal and the process to advance your activity to get ready for sports.

    Sadly Have just broken my right rib yesterday Wednesday the 4-1-2023 doing some worm up before my workout that pop was quite loud when the rib was broken. It’s an excruciated pain indescribable really 😢 had to ask a lady in gym to drive me to hospital since I live away from my family. They confirmed my cracked right rib send me home with no medication advised to get paracetamol or iboorogen for the pain. I feel quite depressed now as I don’t know when I’m back to workout or work. All my routine been working hard for is blown away. I know the feeling of a broken bone I hope that’s everyone out there with any injures broken bones to heal soon and het back to what ever they were enjoying

    I have tibia plateu fracture in both knees. Addition of meniscus tear in left. Screw on the right knee only. Wrist DRUJ fracture on both hands. Plates and 11 screws each on both side of hand. Titanium plates above both orbital wall due to orbital wall and nose bone fractures. My recovery journey: Accident 26/07/2021
    Surgery completed:28/07/2021
    Bedridden for 2months. Started standing after 2months in end of september. Started limp walking in the 3rd month after surgery. Around september. No support used due to wrist fracture more severe and could not hold or put pressure on it. So no walking stick or support for the leg. Continued walking despite advice from physio not to put much pressure on the legs, walked with limp till now but concentrated the pressure more towards my left since the right had screw in it. Current: walking almost normal. Some discomfort if walked more than 30minutes. Numbness around right knee still present @30%. On and off needle piercing pain in both knees from time to time. Physiotheraphy 3 times a week. Strength band exercises, 30 sec mild trampoline bounce. Squats with 5kg weights.( no full squat yet). Not yet sit down on the floor or do full squats or kneel down till now. Also never used the knees as support for anything else expect for walking. Might do so stationary bike ride this week. Also planning to jog on treadmill early next month. Current goal: to be pain free as possible and finish a half marathon this year. (*pending registered run before covid. Event expected to be held this year). Ultimate goal: to run 100mile race in a couple of years to come, would like to see if this body of mine could be pushed that far. Wrote this as a reference for people looking for answers. I guess recovery rate is difference for everybody also taking into account of the severity of injury. Wishing all you guys out there going through injury, a get well soon. Keep going. Life is a jouney full of possibilities.

    Check this out,
    I fell off a car august, 2020 I broke my tibia and fibula and 3 parts in my ankle. I had to get a pre surgery and then a real surgery. There’s a plate on each side of my left leg and like 8 or 9 screws been just about 8 months of recovery just started walking. I used to play soccer and I box I was very active so hopefully I could still work out and stay active like I once was. If my foot doesn’t heal up good enough to where I could run fine then I’ll just pick up a new hobby start mountain biking never done it before. 🤟🏾

    Hey Dr Geier - My story is I broke my left ulna 11 months ago and have still not healed. I was hit by a truck while riding my bike, and in the first week after the accident I underwent surgery to apply an internal metal plate. About 6 weeks ago we determined the break still hadnt healed and I underwent a second surgery. Its been a long time since I had normal use of my arm and Im starting to get frustrated. My last xray showed healing progress but still a long way to go. I just want to go running again, but my doctor says no, its too risky.

    I broke my fibula in 2016 playing roller derby. I am mostly fine, but on occasion, the screws hurt (they are on the outside of the fibula near the bottom on the ankle from a spiral fracture). I have retired from derby but I still love running-- have recently started working weights. I did go back to skating within 3 months, but it took 8 months before I was really feeling healed. I want to find some brace to help stop the torque that is hurting the screws (I can't remove them until I move back to the US).

    Hi I’m recovering from fracturing my sacro iliac joint on my right and my hip acetabulum on my left side. I was super lucky and had no nerve damage. I had an accident on a different horse to my own, he spooked and threw me off into hard ground. I have been on bed rest for 6.5 weeks . I have been doing lots of thera band work for my upper body in bed and have just started retraining my lower body. Yesterday I stood for the first time and walked with just 10% weight on my right side and 50% on my left. No pain!
    At the moment I’m doing this just once a day. I’m in hospital still, and am wondering if I can increase to twice a day so I’m not sitting so long in the day.

    Broke my rt clavicle 3 weeks ago - bicycling. Letting it heal without surgery. It is certainly misaligned.
    Although.... range of motion is quite good and have just slight discomfort occassionally. The issue for me:
    I'm 70yrs old. And, was quite active on my road bike. Will my healed collar bone have the strength required for serious rides?
    I have 5 more weeks of my rt arm in a sling. Anything to look out for when I get back on the bike.

    Hi, my name is Uttam Sutrodhar I'm 24 years old boy from Bangladesh I had broken bone experience. 3 years ago I had broken my left ( Humerus and Ulna) by a car crashed then I suffer from radial nerve palsy. I have done Tendon transfer surgery to restore my hand function but I lost my some muscle and my hand is 60% OK with normal works. My question is do I have and chance to get back those muscles that I lost and should I play football with this situation. I would be very happy if you read my story. thanks

I am not as miserable as I was before the hard cast. I’m taking every bone mending Asian herb, as well as Acupuncture, and Geritol, Bone Marrow organically grown supplements. I am eating pumpkin seeds, almonds, lean meat and leafy vegetables .I just turned 49, my bone is lined up; I am healing slowly. I had a clean break. Praying for total healing and recovery for us all🙏🏽

    How'd I break my arm :
    Basically we were guests at my mothers cousins and it was holiday. I went outside to play with my cousins and we were swinging on the swing. Until I decided to swing the swing alone and try to jump on it... However it failed misureably.

    I really hope you can answer my question asap, I broke my fibula 10 months ago I got surgery & had to to get a rode with 8 screws. The screws bother me & get swollen very often you think it would be a good idea to get them out the doctor said I can't play soccer for a year. But I feel it's still gonna hurt later when I play because I really thin legs

    I broke my ulna and dislocated my radial head, I had to get surgery and now it’s been about 6 weeks post surgery. I’m lifting with certain limitations but I still have weaknesses in my forearm and wrist. For example, I can bench press but I can’t shoot a basketball right now. It’s weird but I’m feeling a ton stronger than after the surgery, I’m just worried 1) I’m pushing the bone too hard during the recovery process and 2) not sure how to deal with the tightness in my elbow due to the healing scar that runs right through it

    • @doveradrenaline7068
      @doveradrenaline7068 ปีที่แล้ว

      How is everything now? Did your arm return to normal strength and can you bench the same as before? I am going through the same thing at the moment. It has been almost 12 weeks after surgery (I broke both my ulna and radius bone). I tried going back to the gym but I can still feel some pain and stiffness in my wrist and forearm. My lifts got significantly weaker especially in flat dumbell bench press as I can only do 40 lb for 8 reps now; I used to be able to do 75 for 8 reps.
