Pelvic Fracture - #18027

A few months ago, I had a minor accident that seemed harmless at first. I fell while getting off my bike and landed on my hip, and although it hurt, I assumed it was just a bad bruise. The pain lingered for days, but I thought it would heal on its own. After about two weeks, I noticed I still had trouble walking normally, and certain movements—like getting up from a chair or lying on my side—caused sharp discomfort. When I finally went for an X-ray, the doctor confirmed that I had a pelvic fracture. Since it was not a severe break, they didn’t recommend surgery, just bed rest and painkillers. At first, I followed the advice. I stayed off my feet as much as possible, took the prescribed medication, and tried not to put any strain on my body. The pain did improve over time, but even now, months later, I still feel stiffness and discomfort in my pelvic area. Mornings are the worst—when I wake up, it feels like my lower back and hips are locked, and I have to move very slowly to avoid sudden pain. Walking for too long makes me feel exhausted, and my legs don’t seem as strong as they were before. It’s frustrating because I was fairly active before the injury, and now I feel weak and dependent on others for help with simple tasks. I started researching natural ways to heal fractures, and that’s how I came across Ayurveda. I read that Ayurveda has specific herbs and treatments that promote bone healing and help strengthen the body after an injury. One herb that kept coming up was Hadjod, which is supposed to be good for bone regeneration. Would Hadjod be useful for treating a pelvic fracture? Are there other Ayurvedic remedies that can speed up bone healing and reduce stiffness? I also read that certain oils, like Mahanarayan oil, can help with pain and inflammation—would regular oil massages help restore mobility in my hips? Another thing I’ve noticed is that my digestion has changed since the injury. Because I’ve been less active, I feel like my metabolism has slowed down, and I experience bloating and constipation more often. Could this be connected to the pelvic fracture, or is it just a side effect of not moving as much? I read that Ayurveda emphasizes digestion as a key part of healing, so I wonder if improving my digestion could also help my body recover faster. I don’t want this injury to cause long-term problems, so I want to make sure I’m doing everything possible to support my recovery. Doctor, what Ayurvedic treatments would you recommend for healing a pelvic fracture naturally? Are there specific dietary guidelines that can help strengthen my bones and prevent future injuries? Also, would therapies like Abhyanga or Pinda Sweda be useful for reducing pain and stiffness?
