Mine was/is also close to the shoulder and was very fucking painful for the first 2 weeks. I was advised by the consultant at fracture clinic to take cocodamol to relieve this. The inevitable constipation was a bit of salt in the wound but the pain relief was bliss.
If you don't see a consultant for 2 weeks, the healing process will have started so the discomfort will be less. Don't be fooled into thinking you're able to use the arm fully until you're given an all clear though & make sure you get physio. Your muscles will be holding everything still while you heal and you need to get the movement back properly.
