my horse slipped over the other weekend
and i fell onto my right side and onto my
coller bone area, 6 days later it is still
swollen where it hurts you can feel a lump
underneath it is really sore to touch but
my arm feels really heavy and achey like
all the time with also a tiny bit of
tingling in my fingers, you can see where
it is swolen just by ooking at it. i had
it checked on the day of the event as
their was a event abulance person their
and i asked if they could just check it
for me and they said that he couldnt feel
any broken bones i am not restricted in my
movement i just cant lift anything with
that arm
could it just be a trapped nerve or if it
is just brused how long should it take to
clear up?
many thanks

You need to x-rays to be taken to rule out
a clavicle fracture. It may be minimally
displaced and you can not tell if it is
broken without radiographs. Some require
surgery - for example if there is tenting
of the skin. You should see a board
certified orthopedic surgeon if you have
not already.
