as some of you might remember i broke my arm in february this year, after that i lost a shit amount of weight. i took a month or so off and statred training again. now doing bench today it started hurting, wtf is going on?

also i have not been able to get my strength or weight back and its been a couple months now so those of you who talk about muscle memory its bullshit...

my arms use to be rather large now im actually quite embarrassed to wear a vest and when i do i hear from someone im looking good but i must work on my arms. fuck sakes my arms use to be my strong point.... any help bros please.
 
I didn't read about you but I broke my humerus arm wrestling about 5 weeks ago. It happened the last week of my 12wk cycle. I look like shit now. I get my cast off on the 21st. Now you have me freaking out because I'm expecting to get back to the gym Oct. 1.
 
yeah there will be some stress pains on a healed break... which usually go away but you may have some lingering pain from time to time!!

Did you do any therapy before getting back in the gym? What kind?
 
heres my take, of several recommendations
Stop Smoking:
Some of these recommendations may be controversial, or unknown the extent to which they affect bone healing. However, this much is clear. Patients who smoke, have a much longer average time to healing, and a much higher risk of developing a nonunion (non-healing of the bone). Smoking alters the blood flow to bone, and it is that blood flow that delivers the necessary nutrients and cells to allow the bone to heal.

Eat a Balanced Diet:
Healing of bone requires more nutrients that the body needs to simply maintain bone health. Patients with injuries should eat a balanced diet, and ensure adequate nutritional intake of all food groups.

Watch Your Calcium:
Patients with broken bones tend to focus on this one, and I place it below balanced diet, because the focus should be on all nutrients. It's true that calcium is needed to heal bones, but taking excessive doses of calcium will not help you heal faster.
Ensure you are consuming the recommended dose of calcium, and if not, try to consume more natural calcium--or consider a supplement. Taking mega-doses of calcium does not help a bone heal faster.


Adhere to Your Treatment Plan:
Your doctor will recommend a treatment, and you should adhere to this. Your doctor may recommend treatments including cast, surgery, crutches, or others. Altering the treatment ahead of scedule may delay your recovery. By removing a cast or walking on a broken bone before your doctor allows, you may be delaying your healing time.

Ask Your Doctor:
There are some fractures that may have treatment alternatives. For example, "Jones" fractures of the foot are a conroversial treatment area. Studies have shown these fractures usually heal with immobilization in a cast and crutches. However, many doctors will offer surgery for these fractures because patients tend to heal much faster.
Surgery creates potential risks, so these options much be weighed carefully. However, there may be options which alter the time it takes for a bone to heal.


Augmenting Fracture Healing:
Most often, external devices are not too helpful in accelerating fracture healing. The following devices have not been shown to accelerate the healing of most fractures. However, in difficult situations, these may be helpful to aid in healing of broken bones:
Electrical Stimulation
Ultrasound Treatment
Magnets

other factors that will delay healing
swelling
depressants
pain meds

age also plays an important factor.

as far as weight training ,you may have to start back with just the bar and lots of reps, this may continue for several weeks, but at least it's a starting point,above all patience is the key.
Good luck


RADAR
 
Thanks Radar. I have a bone stimulator that I use every night for 30 minutes. I don't smoke and my diet is always clean and well balanced. I haven't pushed myself and I feel like I'm healing quickly.
 
Been there broke my hand,......after not working out for a while it hurt when I started and sometimes stil hurts in some excersices.....
 
thanks for the help bros.i attended physiotherapy for a few weeks and he put some machine on, not sure what it was, so i was completely off for about for weeks then started up again, he said light weights but only bench press no curls etc.
