I fell sand broke my upper shoulder March 6.. I am 60 yo female in good health X ray showed 3 breaks, near enough joint to consider surgery. CT scan however, showed one break into three pieces. Ortho doc said therefore surgery not necessary and it is less than 1 mm of a fracture so looks good. Seems odd that x ray would be so different than CT scan. Normal? Second question: doc said to do whatever I wanted to do - drive, etc. Any chance using my uninjured forearm that is no longer immobilized all the time, might harm the healing of the injured upper arm? Third question: Will a home TENS unit speed healing? And is it good idea to user TENS on my elbow that is stiff due to having been immobilized? Will heating pad, hot showers etc also speed healing of broken bones? Thanks!
