I was pushed and fractured my left humerus, it's shattered my Doctor said it shattered as an egg. At emergency they thought it was just dislocated, but the xray proved different. Well it's been five weeks now and it seems to be healing well but slowly. I recently starting 2000mg of vitamin D, 2000mg. of calcium, 2000mg of vitamin C, vitamin B and a "Super Green Formular" called Perfect Food Original by Garden of Life... all of the above are essential on the growth and healing of bones. I have noticed a BIG DIFFERENCE since I started talking all of them a couple weeks ago. I am still somewhat limited in using my left arm like lifting it above my head, stretching it out, it's still very much fracture, but I feel it getting better each day. However, it's aches a lot went it rains or cold/damp. I suppose it will always ache a bit. You will eventually heal, full rotation could take years according to an article I read. You should still be able to work in a few months. My husband once had dislocated his shoulder,,he's fine now but it still aches ocassionally when it's damp. It does not affect him from working, He's an aircraft mechanic, so he uses his arms a lot.

Well, hope I helped. Hang in there take the time and let it heal properly. I'm doing the same, but understanding how frustrating it can be. Take care!

p.s. get the vitamins etc.. asap. it will help!!!

yeah i got a shattered fracture as well on my right shoulder. its been about 4 months and its getting better. slowly though, like you said. i just started taking vitamins calcium, vitamin d. it does make a difference. especially because i smoke. and that slows the healing process down. but i think ill be working again soon. i appriciated the response. i thought i was alone in this one. they told me that this brake was very rare. well it was great to hear your story...if you want ill keep up on this forum to let you know how things go down the road. good luck with everything and take care.

Hey, glad to hear you're doing better!!! Yes it's a very slow process and smoking will slow it down more. Don't forget to take the Vitamin C with the calcium they work together.

Please keep up with the forum let me know how you're healing.
Good luck and I hope your job will be understanding and give you the time to heal. Don't stress out, just get well and enjoy the down time!!!! ~ Take care.

Hi,

I am 22 yes old. I broke my lower humerus doctors advised me for a caste, now 8 weeks have gone and the results are still not visible on the x-ray although i can move fingers and arm without any pain. i need your help in accelerating the hard callus formation. currently i am using sandoze 1000 mg and recently started osnate-800 on my docs prescription.
I did a research and found out that ultrasound and small electric shocks can heal faster do you know anything about it. I am thinking of applying small electric voltage of 9v around the bone as an experiment to see what happens. Plus 9v feels like nothing. i want to really get well very soon. and i am lookin forward for ideas.



what other methods/medicine(homopathic or herbal) would you suggest?
