So unfortunately my girlfriend has a broken collar bone. She's a hockey goalie and took a 90+ mph slap shot to her left clavicle during a pickup game. We freeze all of the pucks, so it was rock hard. It just managed to find a hole in the chest protector. When I was a kid I had the same injury, caused by a line drive in baseball but I can't remember how I coped with it. Does anyone have any tips or info on how to deal with the pain?
She can't move anything, can hardly walk without the area of impact having spasms, having issues breathing, etc etc. The ER gave her a sling and some hydrocodone and sent us on our way. The biggest thing I'm worried about is how she'll sleep. Has anyone else had this injury? I know it's very common with skiers and riders.
I appreciate any help, thanks all!
