invalid vs handicap vs disabled

invalid vs handicap vs disabled

When is it appropriate to describe a person as an invalid versus handicap
versus disabled? My friend broke his leg and could hardly do anything
physical. I guess invalid would be the most appropriate because he was not
born with, is temporary and is severely debilitating. For completeness
sake is it ever acceptable or preferable to call someone a cripple or
lame?
