My broken arm goes on and on and on, grrrrrrr!! Today I have seen a
very nice Consultant whose name was Ravi Ray! (nice name!)My humerus has not healed, here I
am week 28 and it still hasn’t healed. But I am having exogen treatment which
is ultra sound on my arm where the fracture is, 20 minutes each day. Because it
is a very expensive treatment the consultant had to apply for it and it has
been approved so I suppose I should be grateful but I have gone a long time
with no treatment at all, except for the brace which I hated at first, but I have got used to it and I feel secure when I am
wearing it as it protects my arm. This treatment is for 12 weeks!! Can you
believe that, 12 more weeks or maybe more? I don’t understand because I am
taking extra calcium and multivitamins and doing the exercises….
I am fed up and having
trouble getting jumper sleeves over the brace.. so this afternoon diet out the
window and I have had toasted currant bun with lots of butter… yummy. So I am
keeping positive and praying, surely this will work! So please remember me in your prayers, I need lots.

I hope you get it sorted soon :(
Great news that you are now having those treatments. Not so good it will be another 12 weeks with the brace BUT.....If it is helping you in the mean time - THANK GOODNESS! Don't want you suffering with out one.
Keeping you in my prayers ( I haven't stopped)! Thank goodness you can crochet. Hang in there Chris! love Annette
Awe I am sorry your still going through this.... It is surely for the best that you have more treatment. It's good that you have the funding, maybe this will do the trick?
I should be taking calcium supplements twice a day, I really dislike them... They just taste like eating chalk from a school blackboard! I am yet to find one I like, I keep getting told off by the GP!
I wish you a happier recovery, do keep smiling.... Hang in there :)
Smiles :)
So sorry for you your arm won't heal fast and properly, despite all the things you do and do not to make it better. This must be very frustrating, and also hard to keep positive feelings about the future. You are a very courageous woman!
So sorry to hear that your arm still hasn't healed. But I hope thast the new treatment will heal your bones.
Oh Chris I am sorry about your arm.
Lets hope now things will get better with the treatment even though it will take a long time .
I will say a prayer for you.
Oh Chris, I am sorry. I am praying.
So sorry you're still suffering with your arm.
I hope the treatment will help.
Try to get as much calcium as you can, to help your bone! Eat plenty of dairy products :)
I hope the new treatment is the cure; you sure have been through a lot!
:( praying for quick and complete healing. Sending HUGS and prayers your way!
Good Morning Chris, I am sorry about your arm. Hugs and Prayers are being sent long distance. You can never have to many of them. Hope the treatment works. I wondered why didn't they put it in a caste instead of a brace. My sister is in a cast because she broke her right arm and she is right handed. She is not a happy camper about it. Take care. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend Shirley
Chris, I am sorry about the ordeal you have to go through with your arm. I do hope this treatment works. My thoughts are with you.
I am SO sorry you are going through all this. I have to ask - did the surgeon put any pins in your arm to help mobilize it and to help it heal? If not, you should ask about that. Or maybe they didn't because your bones are either too soft or too brittle. Either way, this is a real bummer! I know how frustrated I was with my ankle, but this for you must be beyond frustrating! Praying that things turn around and your arm starts binding itself together.
I hope everything goes well and you are healed soon, a long recovery does take it out of you. Love the pick me up of a bun with loads of butter.
I do hope that this works and that you will be healed once this treatment is finished. Hoping for all the very best for you. xx
How awful that it is taking so long for the arm to heal. I do hope the treatments will do the trick.
Bless you that must be so awful for you. It is a long time.
Hope the treatment does the trick along with a few prayers!
Take care.
(Hugs) xx
