Drawing on every acceptance skill I have now to deal with truly excruciating pain from broken shoulder… distraction via TV dramas and chocolate just about working. Day 7 since I broke it. From my recollection, fracture pain starts to diminish a bit around now but maybe shoulders are more complicated !

I hope it passes soon Ican and we can hear some good news from you. You're doing brilliantly

Fingers crossed the pain starts to subside over the next day or two 🤞

Best wishes for a speedy and uneventful recovery!

Acceptance is a very worthwhile skill to work on, to use in many areas of our lives. It's something I'm working on myself at present.
I do hope you get some pain relief before long. Best wishes.

I hope things will get better each day ICDT

It must be dreadful and exhausting Ican. But good on you for embracing acceptance. Better to not add negative emotions/mental anguish on-top if we can prevent it, the whole pain is inevitable, suffering is optional thing. Having said that I hope the pain doesn't linger too long as it certainly impacts quality of life and makes positivity difficult. Keep keeping on ❤️

Acceptance is very helpful.
Pain is not helpful. It doesn't seem right that your GP or consultant has not given you appropriate and targeted pain relief. I don't think you need to accept that - can you face going back and ask for it to be tweaked so that you are not in so much pain?

Oh no! I'm just reading now about your broken shoulder--ughh! I hope the pain starts to ease up soon.
