a bunch of healing q's

K me again

For the last few weeks the only place i've been able to sleep is on our couch. 'The main reason is as follows:
1-when i move from a resting flat position to a seated position on our bed, i get dizzy
2-If i try and lay(propped up a bit) a little bit on my right side on our bed & even on the couch, i get dizzy.

I don't mind being injured-the leg brace & sling don't bother me. The dizzyness bothers me grrr..

Any ideas? Could it be the way the collarbone moved & is pinching on something?

I have a fup appt with the orth dr on thurs. If he doesn't answer my questions to my satisfaction, do i go to my own dr & complain?

Any ideas would be wonderful.

Thanks

you bet! I'd be calling the doc today, not waiting for the next appt.

Dizziness worries me!

Dizziness has a lot of different causes. Most of them innocuous but some of them serious. The safest answer is to contact a Doc. I'll send you more details.

CC, did you see your doc?

Hi,

I saw my ortho dr about my shoulder/collarbone today & asked about the dizyness. I was referred to my normal GP.

I will give it a few more days as this is probably normal after a concussion and will take time to settle.

If it's not better by next thurs, then i'll see my loverly gp

How is your shoulder and collar bone? Are you on the mend?

[crazycanuck]

I'm on the mend

The collarbone is healing & will take another 3 weeks or so to heal. I have an ultrasound on my shoulder on Monday to ensure it's ok. I start physio on the area on Thursday

All i can say is, i don't wish a collarbone injury on anyone! Owie!

Thank goodness for strapless bras!

THanks for asking Sundial!
