Been there and done that. Ouch. Best of luck with it.

Got told yesterday by the ortho specialist that I need to give it a month then he'll x-ray it again before making the decision on possible surgery. I can still hump a ruck all over creation for miles, but basically can't use my left arm for anything.

Good thing I've been paying into short-term disability insurance at work for years. Gonna be sitting around the house for a month since there are no "light duty" positions for me at work.

Specialist said if surgery is required, it might be another 2-3 months after that before I'm back to even close to 100%.
