On June 20, 2017 it will have been 3 weeks since I broke my collarbone in 3 places along with 2 ribs after a fall. The pain seem to be getting worse. The Orthopedic Dr. says it will feel better in another 2 weeks but the pain seems to be worse as time goes on. I spent a week in the hospital on morphine. I came home and saw Orthopedic Dr., he prescribed Oxycodone and I plan on calling him tomorrow as I don t see any improvement. I m not scheduled to see him for another 2 weeks. Am I doing the right thing?
I clearly understood what you are facing. Look there is multiple fracture in your collar bone, so it will take time to unite, until it start unite you will feel pain.I suggest to my patients apply collar brace (figure of 8) with a sling on affected site with some analgesic and calcium medications. Once it starts healing your pain will start subside.you go to your doctor and be punctual and take an x-ray to confirm healing.hope I solved your problem.
