I broke my humerus arm wrestling
Posted , 6 users are following.
So 3 weeks I broke my humerus in 3 spots and had surgery to have a plate and screws installed after that I was sent home with a one week prescription to pain meds and I ran out last week so this past week has been hell, lots of pain. I see the surgeon in 2 days any chance he'll prescribe me more meds for the pain or do I gotta live like this for who knows how long? Thanks for any replys

You are probably at the same stage as I am now, timewise. The pain is pure hell even with the pain meds, and sleep has become a thing of the past. I hope that you have been given more pain meds and gotten some pain relief, if even for a few hours at a time. You need it to cope mentally! I am very grateful for a few hours sleep, but nights are very difficult with positioning.

Unfortunately,my physio was a too aggressive and one of the tuberosities is displaced again, Big uptick in the pain again! My PT is now cancelled for 6 weeks. I just had a cat scan of my shoulder today and I meet with the surgeon next Monday to assess the bone healing and alignment. i can move my hand and wrist, but cannot elevate my arm nor do I have any external rotation. I hope you are improving and growing stronger mentally to cope with all the problems this injury and surgery bring into your life!

Hi guys.. I broke the same bone in my arm.. I can't move my wrist much or my fingers upward. I see you had a similar problem jlovely. Did you eventually get movement back in your hand
