Humerus Fracture: Decreased pain is a great indicator that your injury/fracture is healing. But in to determine if you've healed, it's critical to have an x-ray done in order to make the assessment.

Can't: Need xrays. Can be pain free with fibrous union.

Well: Well, having an improvement and then resolution of your pain can be a good sign that things are healing; but the only way to really know is to get a radio graphic study such as an X-ray to show that it is in fact healed.
