Broken humerous and dislocated shoulder
Posted: 01-06-08 16:06pm

Sad hi i broke my humerous in 4 places and my humerous got pushed into my ball socket and then i dislocated it very badly 4weeks ago. after going to the local a and e department and finding this out i could not believe i had done so much damage from falling off a stool. i had to wait for 6 days for my operation as i needed a sholder specialist to peform the op as the otherpedic specialists avaliable would not touch it and i live in england about 1 mile from the local big hospital. Ive had a rod put in and about 6 screws i think which they say will stay there for good. I can not believe what a life changing experince this has been for me i was 40 five days before this happened due to go to lapland with the kids the day after which obviously got cancelled and they say life begins at 40!!!!
the pain is dreadful and i am very tearfull i have been told it will take 3 to 4 months to recover .the physio is hard and i think i have done to much as i am in nearly as much pain as 2 weeks ago, im just wondering if there is any one else out there in the same position? i would love to hear from you

im in the same situation, just younger and no children, my career has just stoped i hope not forever....i am 27 years old and i was assaulted about 9 weeks ago. i had a dislocated right shoulder and a broken humerus. they say that it might not heal, and i might need sergery for a replacement..ii was kicked with a steel toe boot directly on my shoulder as hard as someone can kick you. im suffering so badly, because i am a dj. Its been a dream of mine and i finally got a job making alot of money for 8 years now with a huge promotional company. Now i think my life is over. everything i loved for so long is now over. i know for a fact my shoulder will not heal and work the way it did before and i am more depressed then i haver evr been. Im not sure how things may end up in the. Im just looking to see someones story that has had some success with thier(humerus fracture) and dislocted shoulder. Im just wondering if ill be able to dj again without pain, and with atleast 90 degree movement. this is the hardest thing that i have ever been through...i understand!!!
