Default broken shoulder

I broke my shoulder in August. It broke up in the "knuckle part". I could sew sitting higher in about 4 weeks for short periods of time. It still hurts and if I am sitting at a regular height, it strains it. It is doing fine, but my heart goes out to you. It was very painful and I was not allowed to put any weight on it for a long time...only my husband could lift my arm 3-4 times a day after 6 weeks. If the break moved, I would have had to have surgery and a pin. Lifting my arm on my own could have moved it. I don't know how long it will take for total healing. It gets stiff if I don't exercise at least every other day. Hope this helps.
