Question

I had an arm wrestling match at the hostel and completely broke my humerus, right above the elbow and below the shoulder. They did an operation two days later and used something called an extra-articular plate. How long is it going to take for this to heal fully? And when will I be able to hit the gym again? I'm really curious and a bit worried about my recovery timeline.

Question

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with shoulder pain for the past two weeks, and applying things like Moov or Relaxyl hasn't helped at all. It feels like my head is leaning forward when I walk, and there's this uncomfortable stiffness radiating from my shoulder down my back. Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest what I should do next?
