Had a minor fracture
My dad has a minor fracture on his shoulder 3months back. His pain has subsided, but he keeps insisting that massage helps him. He is obese and always asks for a massage. What I want to know is too much of massage bad for him? Can his body take it if he resorts to analgesics always ?
Is massage a permanent cure?

Hello There.
I can understand your concern.
was it a fracture or a dislocation?
we have to examine him to say if there is still any problem with the bone.
massage post a fracture is not recommended, but if the massage is done after the fracture is healed, then its not a problem.
long term use of analgesics is harmful for the kidneys.
kindly consult a orthopedician in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards,
Dr. Anil kumar jain.
