A couple of months back my left arm wasnt in any way close to being in working condition. I had just met with a bicycling accident and fractured my left arm. At the time of the accident the pain was unbearable and I was right away taken to Apollo Hospital in Hyderabad by my cousin. The orthopedic doctor there was quick to analyze the situation. He got a quick x-ray done of my left arm which concurred his initial assumption of it being a fracture. By this time I had calmed down and the pain wasnt as intense as before, at least it didnt seem to be.

We decided to opt for a fiber cast as the recovery time involved in it is less. It took about 5 weeks for the bone to heal properly. In those 5 weeks I regularly visited the orthopedic so that he could monitor the condition of the arm. And even after the cast was removed the orthopedic gave me a routine to follow to get my left arm back into shape. I appreciate the orthopedics efforts to make this possibly traumatizing situation for me easier to deal with. View Less
