Multiple frx: Sorry to hear. Multiple fractures can take longer to heal than simple fractures. It also depends on age, past medical history and nutrition status. Generally a single fracture can take 3 months to a year to fully recover, this includes therapy and swelling time. However, from your age and fracture status, you may take longer than a simple fracture recovery. Hope this helps.
