Not a happy bunny at the moment went out yesterday into town was walking through marks and spencer when I slipped on the floor and went right down on my arm and hip it did hurt but I was more embrassed then hurt . Anyway went home and did have some pain in my arm but nothing I could not cope with , after a restless night and then getting up this morning to find my elbow very swollen I went to A&E xray , see the doctor and now I have my arm in a coller and cuff and have to go back to the fracture clinic on friday as My elbow may be broken now really fed up, any one know how long it will take to heal if it is broken

I had a radial head fracture back in February - so not as bad as a break. I'd fallen ice skating and my hand hit the ice but the damage occurred at my elbow. I drove back from the rink but by the time I got home my arm had swollen considerably just above the elbow.

That took about 3 weeks to stop aching and probably 3 months for me to regain full strength - I'd usually forget it was weak and try to pick up a shopping bag and suddenly realise that I couldn't.

But with all breaks it will depend on the severity of the break and your age. I'm 47 so probably not a fast healer.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that you've just bruised it.

ouch, hope it gets heals quickly for you

 

[jen_uk]

Hope it gets better quickly

 

[mandymouse]

I hope you're feeling better soon

 

[irongirlof12]

ohhhh and ouch - you poor thing, was the floor slippery or wet?

Hope you feel better soon, some choccies might help

 

[madmumof2]

Oh no, poor thing!

When I broke my arm it was in a cast for 7 weeks and weak for a while after, but that was a proper break and I was a growing child so I'd assume it would be a much quicker healing time for an adult with a small fracture/break.

I'd bet you'll be totally fine when you go on your hols!

oh dear, sounds horrible, I hope you feel better soon
