Can a palsy patient with a badly fractured leg be treated with surgery or is it too risky

Surgery depends on clot risk and general health; consult ortho and neuro to assess surgical fitness with palsy.

I'm really worried about my leg injury. A bike fell on it, and although the x-ray showed no bone injuries, the swelling and pain are still quite bad. The doctor thinks it might be a muscle crush or a blood clot under the skin. I've been using Chymoral BR, Osteonec SP, Thrombophobgel, and ice packs as prescribed. However, even after a few days, the swelling hasn't gone down, and it still hurts even if I just let it hang. He mentioned that if it doesn't get better, I might need a cut in the leg. Does this sound like the right approach? Could there be something else that's causing the swelling and pain to persist?

, some swelling don't resolve on other hand they may get infected with abcess formation , if it's local edema with just fluid collection it will subside over period of time , if its local collection of blood (hematoma) then incision is required . if there is discharge of pus with local tenderness ,get it drained or else wait.

I've got an ankle injury, and I'm wondering if daily masturbation might slow down its healing. I read somewhere that the body's main focus is on making sperm first before it takes care of other things. Is it true that if someone gets injured, the body's resources would prioritize sperm production over healing an injury or delay the healing process? I hope you get what I'm asking.

It's understandable to be concerned, but masturbation doesn't significantly affect the healing of an ankle injury. The body prioritizes healing based on the injury's severity, and while sperm production is ongoing, it doesn't slow down the repair process of a minor injury like an ankle sprain. Focus on rest, elevation, and proper care for the ankle to aid recovery.
