Question : HOW LONG SHOULD ARM BE IN PAIN AFTER FRACTURE OF MID SHAFT OF HUMERUS BONE YYYY@YYYY
Brief Answer:
usually no more than 2 weeks
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
In general, there may be episodes of pain up to 2 weeks but if the fracture is set appropriately, this should be mild and decreasing.
Continuous or severe pain should not occur after a fracture has been aligned properly or healing.
If there is poor alignment or infection then pain would continue after this time period
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
