Anyone else ever do this? How were the end results after healing and about how long was it before you somewhat back to normal? This is the most painfull thing I have ever been through and that includes breaking my back years ago.

No broken bones for me ...so far Wishing you a speedy recovery, Mark!

Hey, Mark--

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!!! In my experience, how old a person is has much to do with recovery time and complications. When I was in my teens, I had several broken bones and healing was a six-week process with no lasting problems.

A year and a half ago (age 59), I tripped on a buckled sidewalk and cracked my elbow, a bone in my hand, and my thumb joint, and it was fully a year before I had close to full mobility in my hand. It also resulted in a bit of arthritis, which is annoying.

Old age is not an unmitigated joy.

Whoever called "senior-dom" the golden years, missed by a bit...it may be silver, but remember, silver tarnishes unless it is regularly treated to a polishing, so make sure you arrange for regular TLC!

hope you get better soon Mark. I recently badly messed up my right hip. nothing broken, but I think I may have slightly dislocated it because it popped a lot when I walked. a few days after this happen I began getting terrible pains from that joint and it spread to the muscles around it. It's been so painful I have missed work for the better part of a month. I see the doctors tomorrow, but it's slowly getting better. the thing is I don't even know how it happened. weird!

Your doc may want to have it x-rayed. Hope you have a full recovery soon.

thanks paul. i got a local shot of ladocaine and steroids. but now I'm getting a ton of pins and needls down my leg. it's horrible. I got some pain meds, a nerve med, and a step down steroid pack. if I dont get better in a week or so I'm going to get x rays done.

how are you holding out mark? I hope you get better soon.

Well, it's been five weeks today sence the surgery. I got rid of the walker and I'm starting to get around with a cane.I hope to be able to get my leg over the Harley by fall. Thanks for all the good wishes guys.

how did you break it, if you dont mind me asking?
