Well. Finally happened. Highsided and landed on my right shoulder. Luckily I was going fairly slow and got immediate help. Right now I’m waiting on surgery to pin my collar and am in agony. Anyone have any tips dealing with this type of injury?
Buy a Steam Deck and try not to think about breathing? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Drugs. Take painkillers. Meditation works for some people. Stay distracted. I played FTL on an iPad for weeks when recovering from several broken bones.
Ribs seem to take a long time to heal. I highsided in the dirt a few weeks back and it still hurts to breathe deeply.
Ribs too? ouch, I broke a collar bone and slashed an ankle. Played world of warcraft for five weeks, not moving much until they knitted helped, lost a lot of weight. Never played WoW again after. You shouldn’t be in so much pain in about three days after the swelling goes down.
Uff ribs are brutal, and assuming the collarbone is no walk in the park either. Can you talk to your doctor about a prescription for pain meds until the surgery?
