DH who has mobility problems with his legs managed to fall today. We got him up and he had excruciating pain in his shoulder. Went to A&E had an xray and the orthopaedic doctor confirmed it was a fracture of the humerus and there was no way it could be plastered because its too high up.
She's given him a sling and co-codymol and said it would take approx six weeks to mend and we'd be seen in the fracture clinic.
Any tips from anyone. He is in agony but I suppose its to be expected. Are there better/easier slings than the NHS one we have.
Any advice for getting through the next six weeks appreciated.
