Week 4
On January 15 I was able to lose the wrist strap and move the underarm up and down. It felt incredibly strange. The muscles were weak, of course, but moving the arm with the knowledge that it was still broken was psychologically hard. But recently, I'd noticed that the ends had started to fuse. It felt as if they were locked together by muscle tension, rather than collagen matrix.

I recommend the Polar Care 300 to any "newbies" reading this. It will keep it cold and little or no pain while you have it on. You can keep it on just about 24/7. My doc said "aw, a baggie with ice will do just fine." WRONG! This is the best invention since sliced bread. No, better!

Im in my 4th week, broke upper left humerous. Things seem to be moving along well. Had a titanium rod inserted thru the entire length of bone and three screws attaching bone to rod. I had no cast and was in a regular sling 3 days after surgery. My pt says to not ware sling around the house, instead just let arm hang. I can fully stretch my arm now but cant lift over shoulder . Muscles still pretty tight
The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places. See the link below for more info.

I was still in the collar and cuff and it was still really painful. I could use both hands at the correct height but could not use my arm out of the sling without it being immensely painful. No driving it work still ��
