Well. Finally happened. Highsided and landed on my right shoulder. Luckily I was going fairly slow and got immediate help. Right now I'm waiting on surgery to pin my collar and am in agony. Anyone have any tips dealing with this type of injury?

Ribs too? ouch, I broke a collar bone and slashed an ankle. Played world of warcraft for five weeks, not moving much until they knitted helped, lost a lot of weight. Never played WoW again after. You shouldn't be in so much pain in about three days after the swelling goes down.
