What Causes Intense Collar Bone Pain After An Injury?

On June 20, 2017 it will have been 3 weeks since I broke my collarbone in 3 places along with 2 ribs after a fall. The pain seem to be getting worse. The Orthopedic Dr. says it will feel better in another 2 weeks but the pain seems to be worse as time goes on. I spent a week in the hospital on morphine. I came home and saw Orthopedic Dr., he prescribed Oxycodone and I plan on calling him tomorrow as I don t see any improvement. I m not scheduled to see him for another 2 weeks. Am I doing the right thing?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
i clearly understood what you are facing.. look there is multiple fracture in your collar bone so it will took time to unite, until it start unite you will feel pain..
i suggest to my patients apply collar brace ( figure of 8 ) with a sling on affected site with some analgesic and calcium medications.
once it start healing your pain will start subside..you go to your doctor and be punctual and take an x ray to confirm healing..

hope i solved your problem..
