… it’s another, and the other is a broken clavicle (collar bone).<\/p>\n
Playing basketball this morning, my feet got tangled up with the feet of another guy who is bigger than me, I fell on my shoulder and he fell on top. I heard a crunch and got the wind knocked out of me for a few seconds, but didn’t feel a lot of pain. But when I stood up I knew there was something wrong with my right shoulder.<\/p>\n
Got in to see the orthopedic surgeon this afternoon and had some x-rays. He said it won’t heal on it’s own. The broken ends that are supposed to be part of one bone are over an inch apart and will never grow back together. So next week I go in to have a plate and screws put in. Hopefully this will happen Tuesday if I can get the pre-op physical done in time, but if not, then Friday.<\/p>\n
To make it worse, I think I slightly fractured a rib on the opposite side which actually hurts more than the shoulder. Coughing is torture, and don’t make me laugh! But that will easily heal on it’s own.<\/p>\n
