Depend on extent: Bone healing generally will take 6 weeks, but you are young and ths depends what type f fractures you had, did they require surgery or cast? Pain will respond to NSAIDs but shouldn't use if fractures severe as it may delay healing. Opioids are used for a few wks. your doc, or see a pain mgment doc for an evaluation. Perhaps nerves were injured and the pain is caused by more than the fracture

Well,...: It appears as if you had some major trauma, whereas you broke all those bones! Pain tolerance and thresholds are different for each individual, but you certainly have reason for pains. Fractures can take up to 4-6 weeks to heal, and with what you have endured, you may be in store for a long rehabilitation and recovery period. Good luck.
