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?

Uff ribs are brutal, and assuming the collarbone is no walk in the park either. Can you talk to your doctor about a prescription for pain meds until the surgery?
