Hi i just fractured my wrist and its in a cast and was wondering how i coul heal it faster?

Answer:
It'll surprise you how long healing can take, often several months. Ask your doctor for specific exercises you should do several times every day, while your wrist is still in the cast. When they take that cast off, ask whether you should get an X-ray to make sure the bones are where they should be. Then massage the broken part several times a day -- not just light massage either. Don't do it so hard it hurts, but press your other thumb into the broken spot and slowly knead it. That will help keep scar tissue from building up.Lost strength will be your second issue. When the cast comes off, try to use that hand as much as you did before. It'll almost hurt at first, but you need to get back that strength. Make a fist, then push against it in every direction (dynamic tension).Flexibility will be a third problem. After massaging your wrist, try to rotate your wrist in all directions a little further each time. After your hand and forearm regain more strength, you can slowly press your hand backward and side to side, to the edge of discomfort; then do the same pressing the other way.Mainly, your wrist will heal faster if you work it, not if you baby it.

Increase you intake of calcium.

Sorry. All bones take the same amount of time to heal--the
body can only work so fast at this. Takes 6-8 weeks.

If u sit doin absolutely nothin then it should heal faster because you are not disturbing the bone at all. However, your bones can only repair at a certain rate, so u cannot really make them fix quicker. However, try drinkin milk a lot more often, just a thought

You need more calcium. Either take some Vitamins or drink
more milk, eat cheese and other foods high in calcium content. It may not seem to heal faster but will heal better.

The bones won't heal faster, but rest your wrist, increase calcium, and vitamin D, increase protein in your diet, and eat healthy. Keep well hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Avoid caffiene. Get plenty of sleep.All this stuff won't speed the healing process, but they will help prevent delays or complications in the healing process.

Taking calcium supplements. I know one Doctor here that recommends applying magnets to the fracture, and it should heal the fracture in half the time. Ask your Pharmacist, they have magnets available for different parts of the body like knees, he may have something for the wrist , and it will help relive pain also.
