My break is a week ago now and I've noticed my shoulder starting to sink downwards. Very worrying.
I am glad that I am having the surgery on Monday and not having to wait around, I dont like the idea of 'waiting and seeing' for weeks and *then *still having to go and get surgery done. This was why I was asking earlier on the thread about possibly going private. Having had my other collarbone broken before, and a plate fitted, I feel that this was definitely the best first option; and although surgery obviously has its risks, I would rather that if the tech is out there to get a better fix, then its used on me.
My consultant said that with the plate, things should start to move back into their original position. When I went for my x-ray the other day, the small section of the break was still a massive distance from where it had broken off, not much chance of it moving back to where it should be of its own accord, i.e. no fusion.
The discomfort seems to be worse than before, I think this is because my shoulder is moving out of line from where it was originally.
