Healing process: It will take 6-8 weeks for the bones to heal. Dancing can begin immediately. If gymnastics involve any arm exercises, i would tend to wait a bit longer because the arm muscles may show disuse atrophy from wearing the cast.

My 45 year-old mother has been having body aches for a year, mostly in the bones. It happens constantly in the arms, back, chest and now stomach too. No periods anymore. She also has sharp pain in the back. Possible causes? Likelihood of cancer?

I do gymnastics, and after attempting a double front flip I landed on my neck during the second rotation. This was about a week and a half ago, and my neck is a little stiff but not bad. But my arms feel weaker and somewhat tingly when I lift things.
