down my arm bothers me. They want to operate on that clavicle with bone chops - here, I'll open my shirt so you can feel that bone slip back and forth. Feel it?" "Yes, here are the two ends of the una?ited clavicle. The position of your shoulder is amazingly good, considering." "Should I let them go in and work on that clavicle?" "The clavicle doesn't do much except at as a ?ain? stretcher to maintain the stability of the shoulder girdle, and the two fractured ends here are long since h?ted. I don't feel any crepit?cs as they
slip over each other when you move, and
you don't seem to have any pain with motion of the arm."
"No but I have that nerve pain down my arm
and into the hand.* I have that all the time." "I doubt that the clavicle has anything to do with that, or that an orthopedic surgeon would want to promise that a repair would do away with it. You perform all motions with your hand, hence the three main nerves to the arm are intact. Sensation, also, is undisturbed." "You don't think they should operate?"
