My topsy-turvy life

By Rathmandu

Ouch!

Turns out I have a broken collarbone.

Looking at the bruising this morning and the intensity at the top of my shoulder I finally relented and got myself over to A&E to get it checked out. Sure enough, a fracture in the distal third of the clavicle (the end by my shoulder). Apparently its not the usual place to break it and why it doesn't hurt when I press the middle part of it.
So I got given a sling, told to rest it and expect a call from orthopaedics within 72 hours. I obviously went at the right time as I was in at 9am and out by 10:30. I think it might be sore for a while.
