For the past couple of weeks I've been hurting like crazy and I think I might have broken my collar bone.It hurts when I move my shoulder certain ways and it even hurts if I take my dog for a walk and hold his leash with shoulder and collarbone that are hurting like crazy.

It even hurts to put my coat on take my sweater off.
I know I had a seizure some day just don't know when?I'm calling my DR Mondar trying to get into the Dr's office.

It sound like you might want to go ahead and go to ER now and have it X-rayed instead of waiting until Monday. I know the time is not that much of a difference but it really can make a difference in the way it heals.

Hope all goes well with you! :)
 
take care of it, and good luck it is a common break, and will stick with you.
 
Shoot I feel like my whole body is broken...and yeah get to the doctor asap...but for now have someone smooch your booboo...I hope you feel better soon :)
 
Oh no! So sorry to hear this -- I agree that if you can you should go to the ER and get an X-ray to see what's going on. It might be a broken collarbone, or another possibility is dislocation or damage to he shoulder (which can also make it very painful when putting on your coat or sweater). I hope you get some relief soon.
 
It wasn't my collarbone but the pain sure made it feel like i twas since I've broken both of them in the past.

It's tendonitis. I don't know how I did it but I'll get the RX's when my hubby gets home.My doc called them into the pharmacy wrong one again.
 
Tendonitis can be quite painful. I'm glad you found what it is. Take your meds , relax and heal. Let hubby wait on you hand and foot! :) YEA!!!
 
Well tendonitis is just a way of saying your tendons are inflamed -- which could definitely have happened if there was damage to your neck and shoulder during a seizure or a fall. I hope you can get the meds to help with the pain soon. In the meantime, try applying a little bit heat or cold -- whichever feels better -- and go easy.
