Hi,broke my arm very badly and am scheduled for surgery

[Flashmann]

5. like to know what I am in for

I've had 3 broken arms,all just above the wrist and all compound fractures,plus broke all 3 bones in my left ankle,crushing one with another protruding through the skin,requiring pins and screws...
All 4 injuries at separate times.
The first week-several days was a dull throbbing,made tolerable with presciption painkillers...After that,IF you're in a plaster cast,expect some rather bad itching,made worse by the fact you can't get to it to scratch.
In six weeks,or whenever the cast comes off,expect your arm to have shriveled,have much dead skin and be really weak.

Sorry you're going through it...
