Complex Fractures and Chronic Pain

When the pain doesn’t go away

For most people who have experienced a fractured bone, they have inconvenience and pain for a period of time, which gradually resolves. However, for some people, that pain doesn’t go away.

The fracture itself may be complex, the recovery complicated by infection, or sometimes the injury can change how the body understands and communicates pain so that the pain lives on long after the injury itself has resolved.

If you are in this position, you will know how invasive this pain can be. You can find it hard to sleep, concentrate, socialise, work or even enjoy your previous hobbies and interests.

Private Treatment

If you require further surgery or treatment, you are entitled to choose to have private treatment. This includes not only surgery, but also physiotherapy and occupational therapy to help you get any aids and equipment that may help reduce the difficulties you are having.

Pain Treatment

There are a number of options available in treating pain, including specialised clinics where you can go as an inpatient for a week or two to explore treatment options to manage your pain.

If you prefer to do this in your own home, treatment can also take place where it is best for you. Treatment can range from exploring different medications, nerve blocking devices and equipment, to psychological treatment to help train your body how to manage the pain signals being sent.
