i have been really suffering ,constant pain,barely able to do a thing since breaking my shoulder almost a week ago.The arm brace supplied by the NHS really is no help at all,its chafing my arm and causing more pain. I have now ordered and bought another arm/shoulder sling which i hope will be much better...as long as i can fit it ok,i also bought some pain patches which i think are helping to alleviate the pain.

I also have ordered a shopping trolley with seat,so hopefully i will be able to visit Sainsburys local which is about a mile away.Yes i could ask a friend to shop for me but i will not consider giving up my independence,to me that would be the last straw.Until this recent mishap i was always rushing around,gardening,decorating,you name it i did it,and now i feel so down and useless and the pain is excruciating .

i am cooking,airfryer cookers are an absolute boon,its all a bit tricky but i manage.

And to top it all my car is a causing hell,not that i could drive if i wanted to,and thats another story.

I am a very social animal with loads of friends...but sadly i have to admit most are just fairweather friends...

Life is very disappointing .

I think you are not giving your shoulder time to heal. All the gardening, housework, etc, should be taking a back seat right now to allow for healing. Bones take several weeks to heal, so give it a chance.

Take each day as it comes. They say rome wasnt built in day. If I didnt have bad luck I'd have no luck at all. As we get older bones take longer to heal. At times like this certain circumstances separates the friends from the foe's. Just take it easy and relax because what you wanted to do today will still be there tomorrow. Try not to chuck yourself in the bin just yet. Everything takes time. Best of luck my lovely
