]I was playing basketball about 8-9 weeks
ago, and collided with a player going for
a rebound. I was in horrible pain, heard
something crack, and went home from
school. Pain had not subsided, and that
Saturday we went to an urgent care
facility and they thought my shoulder was
out of place. We got an x-ray and the
doctor claimed there was nothing wrong and
that it was merely bruised. The swelling
had not gone down and I was confused so I
was about to go to my family practice
doctor when I got a call from the urgent
care facility telling me that the
radiologist had called and said he found a
fracture in my collarbone. My family
practice doctor told me that since it had
been missed, it wasnt too bad and I could
wear nothing on it.
Well, it's been 7 weeks since that visit,
my collarbone still hurts, the swelling
has not gone down hardly any at all. I
have a little bit range of motion back,
but not much. I'm 18 years old, and could
use my full function of my left arm haha.
Please help me solve what I need to do
next.
The pain is a dull pain. It isn't so much
that it is unbearable, but I can't do
simple tasks like tying a trash bag
without it hurting. I can't lift weights,
throw a baseball (which is with the other
arm) or shoot a basketball without pain.
