I broke my collarbone exactly two weeks ago...anyone who has had this knows it is extremely painful and there is not really anything they can do for it. The older you are, the longer the healing process. Well it was only a greenstick when it first happened. In the xray the bone looked like an upside down V. It wasn't totally broken, but the top 3/4 was and was open about 1/2"...the doctor said that's great...you'll heal faster. Had my follow up xray today...now it totally has broke in half and is almost 3" apart and stacked ontop of each other...I'm so upset...I'm going to have to have surgery. I can't believe this...I did everything they said...I kept hearing popping and extreme pain until a couple days ago when the popping noises stopped. I told the dr and he said the popping is good and will promote oxygen and healing....no...that's not what happened... it just broke in half...I'm so upset! The extreme episodes of pain have stopped (unless I move it) although since the popping stopped the all the time ache has gotten worse!
I feel like curling up in a ball and crying...I am totally feeling sorry for myself right now. I've had way too many surgeries for my age...and I hate the thought of going into the hospital yet again. Plus my boss is going to be p!$sed beyond belief when he finds out I'm going to be out another month. Ugg...I just got to suck it up and deal with it!
