What Precautions To Take To Heal Broken Shoulder Blade?
I broke my shoulder blade from falling off a motorcycle about two weeks ago. I work at a job where I do a lot of heavy lifting. Also I drive a forklift. How long do you think it will be until I can be normal at a job like that or do you think I need to look for a desk job.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
For healing of a broken shoulder blade, you need to avoid lifting your arms above the shoulder level. It is best to use an arm pouch for proper relief to the arm.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
