What Should I Do if I Have a Broken Bone?
Broken bone is a very common condition people
face in their day to day life either they got
broken bone by some accident or even broken bone
can happen by hitting from some object. The three
most common signs of broken bone are pain (at
site of broken bone) swelling (around the site of
broken bone) and deformity. However in some cases
it is difficult to tell whether the bone is
broken or not there are some common signs of
broken bone like if you have broken bone you will
hear a cramp noise of bone being broken, another
sign is broken bone always followed by swelling,
bruising and tenderness nature or you may feel
pain in putting weight at the injury site or pain
while touching or pressing it. You may also feel
faint, dizzy while having a broken bone is a
result of shock of breaking bone. If the break is
small these symptoms will be less and pain will
be less so its difficult to identify and
diagnose breaking bone but long term pain at a
particular site while movement or weight bearing
can result in broken bone. Get medical help as
soon as possible if you have a broken bone or
even feel like it. Call an ambulance 999 you
dont have to leave this situation. Till the
ambulance came just hold the broken bone aligned
and cast something on it so it is aligned also
tight to avoid secondary complications. If you do
not take correct treatment on time you will
develop serious infection or any kind of
permanent deformity you will regret for life.
Its important not to eat or drink anything as
for treating your broken bone doctor will give
you general anesthesia to realign it at its
original position. Older people and those with
osteoporosis should be really careful as they are
more prone to getting broken bones their

bones are already weak and fragile. Remember at
times of broken cracks you hear just stop any
bleeding apply pressure to the wound with a
sterile bandage, a clean cloth. Try to immobilize
the injured area do not try to realign the bone
on your own it can cause serious complications.
Apply icepacks to limit swelling and relieve
pain. Treat for bone shock accordingly. Bones are
very flexible and can withstand a lot of physical
force.

A broken bone or fractured bone can repair itself
with proper treatment that enhances healing of
bone completely usually it takes 5 to 6 days
after injury to reduce swelling and inflammation.
Remember treatment on time is very important in
cases with broken bones as delaying treatment can
cause non-union or delayed union and can lead to
serious deformity you have to carry for whole
life.
