Clavicle fracture

2016-10-20 12:08:22
Right side Collarbone fractured on 3Sep16 due to road accident. Used clavicle support with arm hanger alongwith 25 days bed rest as recommended by doctor after xray. Followed with 7 day regular checkups & xray. Last xray was done 22sep & results was good. Doctor suggested to remove clavicle support after 30sep & arm hanger 10days later on. I moved to gurgaon on 27th sep to join work, so used clavicle support till 14 October & now using arm hanger while walking . Now i can do little movement without any pain like can eat/brush. Please help me what should i have to do means to consultant with doctor or physiotherapist , go for xray or should take some precautions/exercises at home only.

Just start your routine work. U will feel pin and stiffnes for some days as u had immobilised the limb. Just trust bone healing and move ahead. In case if u feel u can attend some physiotherapist to attain mobility.
