I have damaged both rotators over the years, and at the time I figured
that was the most painful injury I had ever suffered. Accidentally
moving the arm would cause a blast of searing pain that will bring tears
to your eyes, but that severe pain only lasted for a few days and then
it was just stiff and sore for a long time. The collar bone ranks right
up there in pain, maybe even a little worse, and it lasted a lot longer.

The only way I slept with the collar bone was with Oxycontin at bedtime
and another one around 4 am after waking up in pain. I had to sleep on
my back, which I can't do unless under heavy duty medication.

The fractured rib is nowhere near as painful as the collarbone, except
that it also requires that I sleep on my back. The Tylenol 3 at bedtime
allows me to sleep through the night. Then it is time for the extra
strength Tylenol and Ibuprophen combination as soon as I get up.
