Suggest Treatment For Pain Due To Pelvic Fracture
I am 69 yrs old. I fell and fractured my pelvis on the right side 2. 5 weeks ago and have been in a great deal of pain. I have been using a walker some but have tried to walk without it also. I have been told that I can drive as long as I am not taking a pain pill, so I reserve the Percocet for night time or when I am home in the daytime and the pain gets too severe. Should I be walking at all without a walker or what do you advise for healing? I live alone.
