Bones are drama queens. A broken bone takes 6 to 8 weeks for a callus (soft lump) to form. Then months to become solid.
Kids heal faster. A child’s broken bone might mend in 3 to 4 weeks. Adults? Try 12 weeks or more. Age makes your bones cranky.
Your body literally builds a new internal structure. It’s like knitting a sweater inside your arm. Slow, painful, but worth it.
