How long after a fracture can you sleep in the same bed

In our daily lives, although we pay more attention to every detail of ourselves, there are always times when we cannot avoid it. Fracture is a common orthopedic disease in clinical practice. There are many reasons for fracture. Generally, the elderly and children are more likely to suffer from various fractures than young and middle-aged people. A fracture will cause a lot of inconvenience and trouble to your family, so I hope everyone will protect themselves well in daily life. You generally can’t do too much exercise after a fracture, so can you sleep in the same bed? How long after a fracture can you sleep together?

The treatment of fractures is generally reduction and fixation. It usually takes 6-8 months for the fracture to heal and reach the original bone strength. Therefore, it is generally recommended that patients refrain from any form of exercise within 3 months after a fracture. They can live a normal life and activities. They can do appropriate activities (running, swimming) within 3-6 months after the injury, but reduce strenuous exercise. Competitive, high-intensity exercise can only be performed after 6 months. So I suggest you take 6 months.

suggestion:

1. In terms of medication, it is recommended that you take professional bone-setting and tendon-reinforcing, swelling-relief, pain-relieving, tendon-relaxing, blood-activating and stasis-removing drugs such as Baxian Bone-setting Treasure, which can help fractures promote bone cell growth, help callus (bone) form quickly, and heal faster in advance.

2. During the recovery period of fracture patients, they can eat some shrimp skin, seaweed, large bones, soybeans, sesame seeds, white fungus, wolfberry, milk, etc. These are all good foods for fractures. Foods that should not be eaten include peanuts and rice vinegar.

3. Pay attention to your diet after a fracture. A reasonable diet is very beneficial for the recovery of a fracture. Calcium is the main component of bones, so it is important to get enough of it. Needless to say, bones need to continue to metabolize during the growth period, and even after adulthood. In addition, calcium has a calming effect and can relieve pain.

Foods that can help after a fracture:

Foods high in calcium include: fish, milk, yogurt, sesame seeds, dark green vegetables, and seaweed.

Foods rich in vitamin B: coarse rice, polished rice, soybeans, peanuts, sesame seeds, and dark green vegetables.

Foods high in protein include: pork, chicken, beef, liver, fish, shellfish, cheese, eggs, soybeans, and soy products. Protein is an indispensable nutrient for the formation of muscles, ligaments and bones.

Foods rich in vitamin E: eel, soybeans, peanuts, sesame, almonds, brown rice, and vegetable oil. Vitamin E can dilate blood vessels, promote blood flow, and eliminate muscle tension, and is used to relieve pain.

How to recover quickly after a fracture:

1. The pain will be more obvious in the first few days after a fracture. After about 3 days, the pain will generally be significantly reduced, and will be basically relieved after a week.

2. Limb swelling is a normal reaction after a fracture. The time it takes for the swelling to subside varies from person to person, so there is no need to be too nervous. However, it is important to note that you should try not to keep your feet in a low position, because water will flow to low places, which can easily aggravate swelling. You can raise your feet appropriately when sleeping, and be careful not to put your feet on the ground when sitting. You can place them flat on a stool.

3. If the fracture heals ideally, the plaster can usually be removed in about 4 weeks.

4. After removing the plaster, you cannot walk immediately. You can put your feet on the ground, but you must use crutches for protection for a period of time. During the recovery period, it is a good idea to apply some traditional Chinese medicine externally, such as the bone-setting and blood-activating ointment, which is a hand-made black medicine that is very beneficial for the recovery of fractures. Only after X-ray examination shows that the fracture has basically healed can you walk without crutches. This usually takes 2 to 5 months.
