I expect it depends how bad the break is. My (then 8yr old ) son fractured his tibia nearly two years ago. He was on alternate paractamol and ibuprofen for three days and then said the pain had gone. He does have very little sense of pain though. He told me it was broken because it clicked when he tried to walk on it :-\

Did you mean spiral? Just realised it says spinal, so i might be misleading you, completely.

pixie....she also says fibula and you have been going on about tibia........two differing bones.
