Much more serious than fingers, toes, arms, legs, collar bones, etc. Follow docs advice and take physical therapy. Nothing more until healing is advanced.

one thing;avoid surgery if you can!
all the peoples i know that got it never
came back the same!
but the guys who sucked it up,recoved better!!
By Michael Andre Babin on Thursday, April 27, 2006 - 08:47 am: Edit PostMarc... your last posting was remarkably stupid advice. Western medicine is far from perfect but it certainly can work wonders for serious injuries as can the help of a qualified physiotherapist.
Pain and damage that you think you shrug off when you are young and strong can come back to haunt you in later years in the form of osteoarthritis as well as other problems.
By Grazing Grasshopper on Thursday, April 27, 2006 - 02:28 pm: Edit PostMark....good to hear from you again! Thank you everyone for your posts. Your advice is well taken! I think I might agree with Mark on sucking it up. Even with surgery Mr. Babin there is always a chance for osteoarthiritis...Right? Good to see everyones still here. I was wondering where everyone went.

Do you have any advice for Grazing Grasshopper on hip or pelvis fractures? Think it might be needed.

By marc daoust on Friday, April 28, 2006 - 12:22 am: Edit Postbabin,if it's absolutly needed then go ahead.
but, a lot of injuries heal better when left alone.i have a few buddies that got shoulder and
knee surgery,and they have more arthritis and pain in those joints than any other.
they all reget getting surgery.
ps.lots of doctors will say to get surgery
when it's not needed.why?
it's called the american dream!!!
By Tim on Friday, April 28, 2006 - 06:12 pm: Edit PostI'd find a specialist and get his opinion, then I'd find another specialist and get his opinion, then decide what to do.
By Grazing Grasshopper on Friday, April 28, 2006 - 06:30 pm: Edit PostThank you Tim. My brother is a roofer and fell about 30 feet off a roof. He has damage to the pelvic girdle and coccyz (I can never spell that damn word right!!!). I am returning home to see him and help him for a week. Looks like he is going to be out of work for sometime.
A big thanks to everyone for contributing on this-knowledge in application is real power.
