Read MoreI fell off a ladder 6 days ago and am waiting for the swelling to go down still…. I didn’t elevate it properly for the first 3 days so I see why it is still swollen….Now That I am elevating it, it seems to be getting a little better… however, if I get up to go to the bathroom, I can feel an instant rush to the area and severe pain sets in….

Read MoreMy other ½ broke his collar bone snow boarding. He has received treatment at a military hospital & is on T 3”s & diclofenac SR 75mg. He also has a clavicle brace.
