Are There Home Remedies for a Broken Leg?

If an injury occurs and a fracture is suspected, remember the following:

Immobilize the leg as much as possible until help arrives.
Rest. Try to keep from aggravating the injury.
Apply an ice pack wrapped in a pillowcase or towel to decrease swelling.
If possible, keep the leg elevated with pillows or cushions to decrease swelling.
Often with a broken leg, an operation is necessary. For this reason, do not let someone with a broken leg eat or drink anything until seen by the doctor.
