Radius - #18605
Last month, I had a bad fall while running down the stairs. I landed on my wrist, and the pain was unbearable. I went to the hospital, got an X-ray, and the doctor said I had a radius fracture. They put my arm in a cast, and I was told to rest for a few weeks. The swelling has gone down now, but my wrist still feels weak, and I’m worried that it might not heal properly. I know the radius is one of the most important bones in the forearm, and it helps with wrist movement. I want to make sure I regain full strength and flexibility after my fracture heals. Are there any Ayurvedic remedies or therapies that can help with faster bone healing? I’ve heard that some herbs, like Ashwagandha and Hadjod, are good for bones—should I take them? Also, I’m trying to get enough calcium and vitamin D, but are there specific foods that are best for bone healing? I drink milk regularly, but I read that too much dairy might not be good for digestion. Should I switch to plant-based sources like sesame seeds and almonds instead? Another thing that’s bothering me is that my wrist feels stiff. Is this normal after a radius fracture? How long does it usually take to get full movement back? Should I start exercising, or should I wait until the pain completely disappears? I don’t want to do anything that might delay healing. Doctor, are there any Ayurvedic oils or massages that can help with pain and stiffness in the radius area? I’ve also heard that Panchakarma therapy can help with joint and muscle recovery—would that be beneficial in my case? I just want to make sure my radius heals well so I don’t have long-term issues. What can I do to speed up recovery naturally and avoid complications like weakness or arthritis in the future?
