how to keep a broken collar bone comfy?

Yes - collar & cuff to keep it in good position. The healing can be speeded up by taking Homoeopathic arnica followed by symphytum. Once the bone starts to heal, you will be much more comfortable. Please try it - it really makes a difference & quickly too.

First, it is a good idea to get an X-ray.  The key to healing is to insure that the  fracture is aligned and shows good apposition.  Without good alignment and good apposition the fracture will not only take longer to heal but may heal incorrectly and be crooked.  Second, rest is imperative.  Rest can be many things from bed rest to a walking cast.  Rest will allow the body to begin the process of healing. Buddy splinting of the toes works for some and not for others.  Toes are difficult to wrap therefore they're tough to splint.  Self adherent wrap such as Coban works well for buddy splinting of the toes. Ice, elevation and an anti-inflammatory medication helps ease the pain.  Fractured toes may take up to 10 weeks to heal.

You can go to a doc.  and have it either frozen off or burned off.  In either case, that will hurt like hell at first, be uncomforatable for awhile, then feel better later.

R.I.C.E.\nRest: relative rest, avoid lifting any moderate to heavy weights with that arm\nIce: ice the Bicep for 15 minutes every hour\nCompression: wrap an ace wrap around the arm to control swelling\nElevation: elevate the arm above the heart level to control swelling\n\nSee your physician if it is a large tear.  You will need to rest and not play sports for a few weeks to allow it to heal.

I once had something close to your injury.  It hurt to breathe, but I was able to still workout.  Just like you I could only inhale so much air before it hurt.  My chiropractor told me my "rib was out."  I let him adjust me, and it was instantly better.  If you don't believe in chiropractors, then I would definitely follow up with my doctor.  Your lungs need to expand, so breath as much as you can!  I think it is fine to use your arm on that side of your body, but if possible keep the chest wrap on.  Unfortunately for the ribs and surrounding muscles, you have to wait for them to heal.  If your pain is still severe go back to the doctor and make him/her give you something stronger for the pain, and maybe even suggest an MRI???

Do something that allows your body to rest...

if it feels swollen, then put some ice in a towel on it, or if you have a cold pack. this is usally only helpful if it is swollen.\n\nafter that, put some heat on it, if you don't have a heat pack, put rice in a sock or some kind of microwaveable bag .\n\nbelieve me, i have had severe neck issues for years, only start with cold, it takes the swelling down, after that. cold can make it hurt more, heat will relax the muscles and make it feel better, OR you can have a hot bath

Turn them at least every 2 hours.  Use padding on any boney prominance.  Keep the skin clean and dry.  The most common places are the lower back, heels, hips, back of head.  Keep the person well nurished and well hydrated.

hasn't seemed to hurt your typing any.. are you sure it's broken? and if it is..  hold your hand above your heart to reduce any swelling and make an appointment with a Orthopedic Physician to set it. The ER only stablizes broken bones, they do NOT set them in casts.. this is done after your ER visit an Ortho office. You may have trouble sleeping tonight, so take a tylenol PM. Use your other finger to change the channel on the TV.

Hot water bottle (or purring cat) sometimes helps.  If I'm not in horrible pain, a walk seems to work wonders, too.  I find coffee and chocolate makes it worse on the first couple of days, which makes me sad, because I live on those basic foods.  *lol*\n\nHopefully you'll feel better soon.

A patch can help make it stronger. Good Luck!

first go to an Ortho surgeon for a second opinion..and you could put ice on it for 20 minutes at 4 hour intervals..

I recommend you do not do that. You could worsen the condition and end up with a permanent injury or deformity. Give it some time, at least a day or two.\n\nKeep it wrapped and iced. Take an anti inflammatory/pain relief med like Ibuprofen, Advil or Tylenol if you are not allergic to them after eating. Keep your wrist elevated above your heart with a sling to help reduce the swelling.
