Need help for shattered shoulder.
I tripped three weeks ago and landed very hard on bridge surface. I have a break at the top end of my upper arm bone. The “ball” is shattered into more than four pieces. Very painful but have avoided taking the pain killers prescribed after first two days. I am wearing a neck and wrist sling. Drs strike and delayed appointments resulting in a brief consult with surgeon who recommends a clinical trial researching extensive and invasive surgery. I do not want to undergo this as I am 74 and there are no guarantees I would get back full range of movement. Bruising is extensive. Have tried comfrey soaks, DMSO with castor oil application, Epsom salts soaks and am starting with borax. All these have helped. Also vitamin D.
Don't know when will see dr so am trying to as much as I can to avoid stiffness and to reduce swelling and bruising. Any help would be much appreciated. The break is on the right - dominant arm.
tahank you.
