Recent discussions in various comments on a post reveal insights about the healing process for broken limbs, particularly the advantages of early mobility. Many users shared personal experiences that align with modern medical recommendations, which suggest that early movement on injured limbs can help avoid complications like muscle atrophy and chronic mobility limitations. The old adage of RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) has evolved into POLICE (Protect, Optimal Load, Ice, Compression, Elevation), emphasizing that limited weight-bearing and movement can contribute positively to recovery. Also noted is the contradiction in medical advice that tends to err on the side of caution, potentially leading to worse long-term outcomes for patients. Users emphasized the psychological and physical importance of not immobilizing injured limbs for prolonged periods, highlighting personal accounts where early weight-bearing led to better outcomes compared to strict rest protocols.
