Suggestion needed for Shoulder Fracture

2022-03-26 05:40:21
Hi Everyone, So I had a fall from bike 5 weeks ago and in the xray it was diagnosed hairline shoulder fracture. I wore sling for 2 weeks and there was some improvement so doctor advised some physiotherapy exercises. But that really aggravated my pain while doing front arm raise so I consulted again and did MRI after 4 weeks and the reports  showed bone marrow edema and undisplaced comminuted fracture  in greater tuberosity with focal superaspinutus tendonitis. Now as per doctor advise I'm again wearing sling and taking medicines and everyday taking IFT and Ultrasound physiotherapy. But, there hasn't been much improvement. How much time it takes to heal completely? Is surgery needed? Can I work on my laptop, as it is my right hand?
