Clavicle fracture

Clavicle fracture

I was in a car accident about a month ago and a week later found out I have a clavicle fracture. My orthopedic is trying to see if it heals before deciding on surgery. But I haven't been able to sleep in over a week, due to pain. Pian killers don't work at all. I have an appt on Friday but how long does the pain usually last? Oh also about 2 weeks ago I fell and re hurt it pretty bad. And I feel like inhale nerve damage. Help!!!

Hi there!

The pain could last anywhere between a few days to a few weeks. Continuing pain could indicate a secondary process like displacement, pressure, infection, inflammation etc. It would be difficult to comment on the situation without a clinical evaluation; and would be best to consult an orthopedician for an evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope this helps.

Take care!
