  • A sketchy incident in a parking garage on our way home from New York, getting a new phone case (finally) → go to casetify.com/j... today to get 15% off on your new favorite phone case, and then Landen finally gets his cast off after 7 weeks and I'm sooo worried that his arm is permanently crooked. Does anyone have an experience with this? Thoughts?

    Right now, Landen's muscles in his forearm have atrophied (gotten smaller) from lack of use. As he uses that arm more, the muscles will get bigger and the curve will be less apparent.

  • @firephoto213
    @firephoto213 Před 2 lety +109

    I broke my wrist 2 years ago. You lose a lot of muscle mass when the cast is on. That is what happened to Landon. It is going to take a while for his arm to fill back out and then things will look more normal. He should go to PT. That will help him with getting his muscle strength back. He may always have a bend but it shouldn't affect the way he does things.

    • @tinydancer7426
      @tinydancer7426 Před 2 lety +4

      Yeah, PT is important to regain normal range of motion and rebuild strength and muscle mass. How if, when and how much of that happening will largely depend on the quality of therapist and therapy ...... and how motivated and dependable the patient is in participating in the therapy ..... being given a regimen of exercises to do at home between therapist guided session and doing home therapy is so important ..... parents need to be on top of him doing his "homework" and working with him to make sure he does them correctly
      It's hard enough to get kids to do their therapy at home ...... I worked with a woman who broke her wrist ..... the typical "old people's break" right across the growth plate ...... she did not/would not follow the physician's orders for post op care after casting (rest, no use of arm/wrist/hand, keep in sling, etc) nor did she adhere to the PT schedule and home PT between appointments ...... as a result it did not heal properly and she is left with a permanently aching wrist .....yup, dominant hand/wrist/arm

    My brother really badly broke his arm around the same age. He ended up needing surgery and had permanent nerve damage from the doctor setting it wrong right after the break. Maybe he needs to see a different doctor for a second opinion. Especially since I know a lot of bad breaks need different casts through the healing process. Wishing the best for Landon!

      See my son broke his arm last year. And bc of how it broke they needed to do a simple surgery to reset it correctly so it would heal properly. So I was puzzled why they never had surgery a possibility for Landon. Just told Jess, oh it will never be straight lol plus they took so long to cast it. I think that was a bad call on the doctor not doing it right away.

    Making $9.25 an hour .WOW!!!!! So underpaid for the crap they have to clean up. Not everyone clean jus sayn! I also strip the bedding and make two separate piles one with towels and one with all the bedding. I also make sure I pick up all the trash and just leave it in a bag by the door. So basically a quick clean up before checkout

      When my sister broke her ankle, it was not set in the ER ...... they put an inflatable cast on it and told her to "get thee to an orthopedic surgeon" ..... it was not an open fracture and the bones were not displaced ...... and swollen ...... even the ortho surgeon did not set it right away because of the swelling ..... she was sent home and told to keep the ankle elevated above her body (yep, basically bed rest on the sofa during the day with her foot op on the back of the sofa) for a week ...... then the ankle was surgically set with pins in the one bone and a plate and screws in the other ...... back on the sofa with the foot up in a semi rigid caste until the incisions healed and then fully casted in a hard cast for X number of weeks (no weight bearing), then a walking cast for X weeks, then a walking boot, etc.

      The entire situation was a joke. The specialist not getting him in immediately would have made me go back to the hospital to have a doctor affiliated with the hospital treat him. The insurance plan is somewhat responsible. I’m guessing the hospital didn’t reset it and cast it because the insurance plan doesn’t consider it a health issue that requires ER intervention. They then required her to see the primary to get a referral for the specialist. Ugh I’m so happy I have an insurance plan that allows me to go straight to a surgeon. Insurance plans that allow patients to suffer with jumping through hoops should be illegal.

I’m now 32 and u can notice if I point it out but it doesn’t really affect the use of the arm!! The dr really did do them dirty I would honestly sue bc he just wanted to get them out of there and had he seen the specialist the next day she could have fixed it but three weeks to wait for a cast is insane!

    Hey Jess, just a hint, when I broke my arm they had my mother give slight help with the exercises. Like when he is trying to get his hand to go up she would slightly help me push it up. When I was trying to do the palm up she would help by hold my elbow and body still. When I was doing palm down she would do the same. Remember not too much at once, he won't be able to go full palm up or down very quickly. Baby steps Any amount of progress is great, but remember his arm is still weak and can rebreak so take it slow and steady. Assistance and consistency is the key. You might want to consider a rehabilitation for him so that they can help with the right amount of pressure and exercises that will get him back at as much function as possible in that arm. It maybe crucked but with the right rehabilitation there is no reason he can't have full function. Please don't wait like I did, now my arm is only working at 35% function on a good day. Landon is too young to face a lifetime of a low functioning hand.

Everyone pray for us boy moms lmao cause we need it!!! It's funny too cause my Benny is my most active kid too doing wheelies and riding dirt bikes them two are a lot alike that's for sure!!! Love and hugs all the way from Iowa 💕

    It does get better. My son (also a Kyson) has broken both bones in his arm twice and last time the cast came off and it was very obviously ‘deformed’. It’s been 6 months and looks much better now.

    I have a bone disease in my wrist, so I legit have 4 of the same brace because I wear it that much. The lines you see aren’t anything to worry about. Especially fresh out of a cast, your skin can be raw, sensitive, and have weird marks on it. I wear my brace to bed every night and those are pretty common marks. I’ve had to wear casts for up to four months (believe me, if you think his arm is bad, I won’t tell you the story of how I got a massive as shit heat rash on almost the entire side of my arm) so the one thing I can say is let him scratch, just not too hard. Healing skin and bones can make itchy skin (it means it’s healing) so there’s a reason people with casts shove things in between their body and cast to scratch.

    I broke my elbow at 11 years old. My movement NEVER went back to full range and I'm in my 40s now. But the good news is, our bodies are VERY good at adapting and although I have had to change the way I do some things, there's nothing I can't do because of it.

    Hi Jess! I broke my wrist around the same age as your son. I developed early arthritis in that wrist and wear a brace occasionally as it flares up with more movement etc. which started when I was in my teens
    The pain was so bad I thought I broke my wrist again which was when I found out I developed early arthritis from that break
    Nothing too crazy but just a heads up :)

  • @Melia013
    @Melia013 Před 2 lety +1

    I broke my arm really badly when I was about 8 and I had to have a splint for 3 days, 2 different large casts like landen, and then a short cast and also had surgery before I got my splint. My arm eventually looked similar to the right one (I broke my left arm, dislocated my elbow, and fractured my wrist) however after that it always stayed skinner and and a little more fragile. But it’s completely fine 7 years later and I’ve done every activity imaginable like volleyball. I wish the best for Landen and I hope it heals well!!

    When I'm on a domestic trip in Australia we never tip because in Australia we don't tip, its not expected here like it is in the US. This is because our minimum wage is much MUCH higher than that in the US, tips aren't needed . But when in the US we tip everywhere we go since that's what's expected

    i've broken both my arms 3 times and its normal for it to look like that first when it comes out of the cast. i would recommend soaking his arm in water with epsom salts. also another tip is to do the exersices in water as it will take water will take the weight of the joint

  • @crazycatlady1393
    @crazycatlady1393 Před 2 lety +29

    I feel like making a big deal about his arm being crooked is going to make him self conscious about it. I’m sure when he starts gaining muscle in that arm it will look more even.

  • @susanforsey5593
    @susanforsey5593 Před 2 lety

    Ive broken my arm many times when i got my cast off i found the thing that helps the best when doing the excersices is doing them under or in warm water it feels amazing and it helps so much with the stiffness and pain while moving it from it being stanary for so long!

    I broke my ankle when I was 11 it took a while for the muscles in my legs to even out but still to this day my right leg has a little more muscle than my left. Since he is so young though it should even out eventually. Physical therapy will help a ton though to gain back the muscle he lost. I know he’s going to be back to his old self though! I bet that first scratch felt amazing!

    When they did the cast check at the airport, they swabbed for drug residue. That’s what the machine is scanning for. The fact that the doctors didn’t change his cast is horrible.

  • @lauraanatonia8656
    @lauraanatonia8656 Před 2 lety

    The lines are from the ‘stocking’ they put under the cast and because it’s pushed against the skin for so long it makes an impression. It will be red for a little bit as the blood flow rushes back to those areas. Lots of moisturiser and massaging it into the skin will help

    You’re pissed cause they never followed up with your estimate, I had the opposite happen. Got two estimates for something that wasn’t urgent but needed to be done at some point. One was significantly cheaper than the other for the same work. So we never called them back. Until the other day workers just SHOWED UP UNANNOUNCED at our door wanting to do said work! We never called back at all why did they just send people as in good luck we’d say yes spontaneously??

  • @sngray11
    @sngray11 Před 2 lety

    For Landen’s dry, scaly, irritated skin, make sure he keeps it clean and applying a healing balm like the one from The Honest Company that you can buy at Target will help his skin heal and feel a lot better. 💗 I broke numerous bones growing up because of all of the sports and such I did growing up. And having a body part in a cast for several weeks really does a number on the skin and it will also take awhile for him to regain muscle in that arm and wrist as well.

    my son broke his wrist.. and re broke it in his cast... that was fun.. rolls eyes..lol.. we found the easiest way to do those stretches was to have him sit at the table with his arm flat out then slowly flip it back and forth using the table to push against helped stretch it out faster :) we also used the table or a wall for him to press his hand against , it made it much easier for my son to get the raise your hand stretch done efficiently :) PS his arm also looked weird for awhile .. but hes all grown up now ;) and his arm looks and functions normally :) .. good luck :D

  • @agusguti
    @agusguti Před 2 lety

    That excercises help! I remember thinking it was stupid to just move my leg. I had to do physical therapy though but the most basic excercises is what made me ģet my range of motion 😊. I actually needed surgery but I had scheduled a brain surgery 20 days after I broke my leg so they didn't risk two general anesthesia in 20 days or less. I had my cast extra weeks because of course everyone was more concerned about my brain surgery and recovery. And that extra weeks really messed up my range of motion but I got it back and even without the surgery my leg is fine!! Hoping for a speed recovery sweet boy!! You got this💪

I can't put my arms one over shoulder and one behind my back and touch one way but can the other way.

    We had the same exact thing with our contractor. However, I think we dodged a bullet because if he was that unprofessional then chances are his crew would A. Not show up on time daily B. Do a half ass job and C. Say the “estimate” would be X amount but it would actually be double the price.
    What I would do is call your home builder and ask for a referral. Also, REMEMBER NEVER EVER go with the cheapest bid! Also, in your contract say that if they get the job done sooner that you paid a bonus of 5% of the total cost. The second we did that with our home remodels they were getting completed 1 week sooner

Honestly I still get little twinges now and then after 5 years but it is all healed properly so it's fine now. Also really glad to see how well landens arm is healing stay safe lots of love to you all. Xx

    I broke my arm as a kid and remember it being super weird looking from the loss of muscles, it looks completely normal now, I reckon Landen's might always have a slight curve to it but I don't think it will be noticeable once he regains his muscle mass, and as he grows the bone might straighten out abit more.

    Back in May I had something called a green stick frature while sitting on the foot ball field at school and then someone fell and broke it. I had a cast for 2 weeks then got it off after 2 weeks It was killing me so we went back and found out that it never healed. I got it off again and they though they could throw me in a brace but little did I know I tore my thumb and had carpal tunnel so surgery coming up! Long story short, 7 months later and It is still not done with healing it self!

    My husband broke his leg, wrist and his ankle and his ankle is broken in a lot of pieces and the doctors told him they would need to break it again to fix it. His wrist was the same as Landon and he said letting his arm hang off the bed when he slept would help with the pain and also straighten it out for him.

  • @jenniferberry120785
    @jenniferberry120785 Před 2 lety

    Those lines are from the cloth stuff called cast sock that they put under the cast to keep it from actually touching the skin. I was in a lot of casts growing up due to cerebral palsy. I recommend putting baby lotion on his arm as it will help with itching and hydrate the skin❤️

    I had a greenstick fracture when I as 10, my arm was set in the exact same position as Landon's. I was due to have surgery but the doctor decided 30 mins before that I would grow out of it and it would straighten as it grew. 20 years later, I can't really tell the difference between the two. I occasionally still get pain from it but I have unusually thin bones anyway so that doesn't really help! Hope Landon gets better and stronger from here!

    When my daughter was 11 she broke her wrist wrecking a scooter. The doctor said it was a buckle fracture. When she got her cast they did the same "molding" as Landon's. After her cast was removed the doctor said her wrist was still 10-15 degrees crooked, and it could take years to straighten out. She is 14 now and her wrist is still slightly crooked, but she has full range of motion and little to no pain.
