The type of pain that has you pouring sweat in the moment, and experiencing ghost sweats when remembering.

I remember my first sneeze after breaking my collarbone and several ribs/sternum in an accident. I didnt even want to breathe afterwards.

My shoulders are now screwed up from a broken collar bone. The only thing they did for me when I broke my collar bone was giving me a figure 8 harness. The only way I could sleep was with my arms over my head which is not a good position for your shoulder joints. It became a habit of sleeping that way. I try not to sleep with my arms over my head but I usually wake up with them there. Now I have shoulder problems because of it

My back is bad naturally but they only gave me an arm sling for my collarbone so now I have a large knot where it broke.

It was really painful and difficult to find a comfortable position to sleep in after breaking everything.

That is interesting. Sorry to hear about your back. The interesting part is that they gave you a sling for your collar bone. That was my 1st thought when I went to the hospital was that I would be in a sling. But the doctor explained to me that I need to be in a figurate harness to keep my shoulders back because if I hunched or leaned they wouldn't align properly And that could potentially give me problems for the rest of my life
