Hiya, I broke my collarbone a week ago the bone sticks out and the bruising and swelling is huge?
My husband broke his when he was younger, & all you can do is let time heal it. If you are having a lot of problems maybe you should see another doctor for a second opinion & get another set of x-rays. As for the house work only do what the dr. said you can, do a little at a time. Plus try a pillow under your shoulder at night or sleep sitting in a recliner which keeps the shoulder from pulling backwards. Use ice to knock down the swelling. I was told go 20 minutes ice 20 minutes heat. My brothers physical therapist told him that just ice makes the body heal it self faster due to having to heat the area up & causing higher circulation creates healing.
