The duration of pain after a fracture is determined on a case-by-case basis. If the fracture is not treated surgically, but only conservatively, the pain may generally last for about a week, but the pain does not last for a week because of proper immobilization and braking, and the pain may occur later in the process of weight-bearing recovery. If surgical treatment is performed, the pain usually occurs about a week after surgery and slowly disappears after a week. Similarly, there may be some pain and discomfort after weight bearing for about a month after recovery. Therefore, the duration of pain after a fracture depends on the specific fracture and the specific type of treatment.
