Sling/brace Or Move

[jennyjoan]

Would anybody know if it is a good thing to move my arm and getting it mobile or keep it in a sling/brace ... 2-3 breaks in the clavicle.

thanks

Yes, I too am thorough when I take on a task but like most people I have made errors.


I hope you're soon more comfortable JJ.

Erm so they've told you your shoulder blade is broken and you've just walked out??

[tonyav]

- just picked up my coat and walked. - he did nothing he could do unless I accepted a operation. i just walked as i didn't want to hear any more bad news.


Gawd blimey, jj. Get yourself back to the hospital and get this sorted, if you don't it will probably affect you for the rest of your life.

[Smowball]

Very very odd.

jennyjoan you have to get back to the hospital and find out what they are going to do. They tell you that your collarbone and shoulder blade are broken and you just walk out because you 'don't want to hear any more bad news!!'
You will never get better unless you get it properly set in a sling and brace. Just walking around and ignoring it will make it a lot worse!
Get back to the clinic/hospital asap!!!!

[ummmm]

And how will you manage to walk Maxie unless you get it fixed?

[Smowball]

Am pretty sure you'd be in absolute agony with a broken shoulder blade

[jennyjoan]

i think there is a little misconstrue - it was amiable with him and hi - he offered operation quite nonchantly and I said no, he said well we will see how it will heal. that was more like it.

my cousin got shoulders replaced 3 times - yes i know - one of them didnt take - so it was replaced twice - the other one was done.

After she went through hell with the 3 of them. Constantly in pain.

[jennyjoan]

smowball i am in bloody agony - along with the collar bones - but i am hoping to be a great healer. god i hope so

have ordered a cleaner for this week - if she can make me - so will see how it goes.

GP tomorrow - then 4 weeks next to x-ray

[tonyav]

jj, listen to the GP and do as he / she says !.

[Mamyalynne]

You'll get there, take care.

You MUST NOT move the arm or it will never set. Keep the brace and sling on and don't try to move it. Your going to need help with the house work for a while so ask about getting a carer to visit.
