Broken Knee

I broke my knee,wrist,a vertabrea and rib 7 months ago in a fall accident. My wrist was casted but for my knee and vertabrae nothing was done except therapy. My patella was split in two. That and my back are still very painful. Should they have been braced or immobalized in any way?? Is there anything I can do know to help alleviate the pain,,ie..surgery?? I am a construction worker and as yet can not return to regular duties. Thank you.

The SiliposŪ proprietary gel pad is formulated with a medical grade mineral oil (USP) which gradually dissipates onto the skin to help reduce scar tissue after carpal tunnel surgery and to protect sensitive scar tissue against friction, abrasion, and pressure.
