Proximal Humerus Fracture Weeks 1-3 | Starting the Shoulder Rehab Process | Phase I
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 มิ.ย. 2024
- Welcome! You are here because you had quite a fall and need some guidance on your shoulder injury. I'm excited to be a part of your shoulder physical therapy process.
About 80% of proximal humeral fractures are called non-displaced. A non-displaced fracture is where the broken bones remain in their correct anatomical position. Non-displaced and minimally displaced fractures can usually be treated successfully without surgery. Surgery to align and possibly bind together with plates and/or pins may be necessary when bones are displaced from their normal positions. Treatment of displaced fractures in the senior population is controversial due to poor bone healing. Screwing into these bones can be like screwing into Balsa wood.
Why would I make a video series addressing this rare condition knowing I wouldn't get enough views to pay for the production of the series? Well, my story began when my mom broke her humeral head while running in the woods. Physical therapy and the orthopedic surgeon were good for knowing milestones, making sure she wasn't going to hurt herself at each stage but felt incomplete as far as a structured daily regiment that was sustainable. The weight of her rehab fell on me and the whole process made me realize that there were people, like you, out there suffering and feeling bewildered with the shoulder rehab process.
So, between your physical therapist, orthopedist and my videos, you are going to have great success. After the 13 proximal shoulder fracture rehab videos, there are no-weight and weighted shoulder strengthening videos on my site to guide you pack to lifting, throwing, swimming and hugging again. Don't give up. This is a long process that can take as long as a year to get back to pre-injury status.

Hi Dr Fields. I fractured my proximal humerus whilst cycling on Saturday and was diagnosed after a visit to A&E on Sunday. It is the first time I've fractured a bone, so all new pain game and swelling. As a cyclist training for endurance events these past few days since the accident have been a challenge. I have had an assessment at the orthopaedics yesterday and they informed me no surgery required which is good news and told me that physio rehab will start in 2 weeks. So whilst waiting it was wonderful to find this video and to begin some gentle exercises and have that feeling I'm getting better and starting on the road to recovery. Very grateful for this wonderful resource, and so well explained and demonstrated. Hoping for a full recovery and to get back cycling at the later part of the summer - here's hoping for a proper late summer here in England 😎🚴
Thanks so much Dr Fields, I broke both my humerus bones skiing a week and a half ago. 72 year old female, but fortunately no surgery and one arm has the clamshell brace. Pain hasn’t been too bad and it was so cool to find your videos. Just lovely with the music and inspiration. Unfortunately can’t do the self massage etc, but everything else. Hoping to heal quickly since my husband has to do everything, 🥰 with appreciation and gratitude, Sally
Broke my humerus bone while restoring my house, an old Irish cottage friday 02/02/24. I fell off my stairs missing my side step and fell all my weight on my shoulder. Clean fracture at the top of my humerus. Week 1 I felt better very quickmy - I’m making bone broth from ox tail, drinking a cup morning and evening, taking oyster shell pills, omega, calcium, d vit, zinc
My scan after ten days shows that’s it is healing in place and Dr was impressed that I had no pain when he pressed his fingers on my shoulder. Today it’s two weeks since accident and I’m feeling a bit down, wondering if I’ll ever recover fully when last week I was like yes and I’ll be back on handstands in no time :) thank you so much for your videos
I’m a 56yo female. I tripped and fell walking to work in a hurry yesterday. Had new multi-focal glass on. I’m amazed at how quick and easy it was to break my arm. 😂.. So anyway, thanks so much for being here. All of a sudden strength training and bone heath post menopause has become VERY important to me. I’ll be spending a lot of time on this channel no doubt 😁👍 Blessings to all on this journey of recovery and to ongoing better health! ❤
Thank you, Thank you. I fractured my humerus on Feb. 15th. my horse bolted as I was getting off. ER sent me home for a week with a sling and pain pills until I could see Orthopedic Dr. the very next day I was researching on TH-cam and ran across your video. You have helped me so much. I watch 3 times per day. To have something to follow along with is so helpful.
My heart is filled with joy! You have a path, Cathy!!!
What does ER?
Thank you. Crashed my motorcycle and broke the top of my humerus. Great video. Phyla’s emotionally. I’ve been hurting and crying. This video helps ground me in my healing mindset. 🙏🏻💜
Such sweet words in the middle of this challenge. I hope you get the blessing amongst the suffering.
Just found your channel the other day and I’m so grateful to have found your channel! I fractured my right humerus bone on March 9th. My husband and I were getting off the golf course in our cart and he tried to avoid hitting another cart and I got thrown out and fell hard on my right shoulder and side. I suffered a mild concussion as well. Grateful to have not to have surgery, but I ain’t going to lie, this has been challenging for sure. I’m thankful too that I’m left handed so I can least you that arm and hand. I’m 63 and I have always been active and exercise 6 days a week. I’m sure my being fit kept me from having a worse injury. I do enjoy your calming demeanor and your positive mode of walking us through each move. I do see an upper cervical chiropractor for a different issue which has resolved through perseverance and a positive attitude! Thank you again and I look forward to complete healing with your guidance! Blessings☺️
Time to heal that shoulder and let your hubby ride shotgun on your next round ; )
I'm sure he felt bad sending his lovely bride out the cart.
Take care
@@dradamfields Lol… Yes he felt awful about it! Thank you again for your encouragement! I’m now pretty much healed, however, I am not hitting the links for another 4 to 6 months. I want to completely have full use and power before I start up again. And from now on, I’m driving the golf cart😉 Keep up the good work and helping us folks to complete wellness 😊
Thank you, endlessly! I cried like a baby, doing the exercise, from releasing so much tension! I fell down a 2 meter high ladder and got operated a week ago, have wires in my humerus and a sling...there was still so much tension, from the trauma...and the exercises help a lot, as well as your positive compassion. Thank you soo much!
I'm so happy to be on this challenging journey with you, Dahlia. Let's get strong!!!
Yas I'm humres fracture
Thank you!
No family. Was widowed some years ago and have no children. My age plus various chronic pain issues for many years has resulted in no friends. Oddly my neighbours haven't noticed my sling very much. One told me how she had a nasty cold and after 5 mins said "oh, what have you done?" No offers of help followed. Not that I'd have taken them up, but it would have been nice if she had.
So somehow managing on my own with right arm in a pretty poor way and left hand with thumb arthritis! Some tissue damage around elbow slowing things up a bit. And painkillers that don't seem to do much.
Anyhow it's been 2 months. Slowly getting back mobility and strength. It's nice to have found you.
THANK YOU! Your EXACTLY what I'm needing
Ttipped Fell / rolled down a steep concrete driveway 3 weeks ago.
Doing so much better still in a sling, but removing the sling for periods during the day, letting my arms stretch and doing your therapy.
I've done outside therapy before for other areas on my body, And you're right. I became bored and disengaged in going to therapy 3 or 4 times a week. It was the same exercises with little supervision
Your online therapy is really helping very easy. And I can do it several times during the day, without leaving my home
Thank you for your videos❤
Hello my name is Yoto, I’m 37 yo from Sofia, Bulgaria. I fractured my proximal humerus, going back home, I fell from an electric scooter. I underwent surgery three days ago and I’m starting my recovery journey. I am a very active person and I go hiking, cycling and rafting a lot, and l have been in a lot of extreme and life threatening situations, but dumb accidents happen when you least expect. Thank you for these videos I will be following them all.
To all you people, who have suffered injuries, my message is this: Never give up, never surrender and you will get through every obstacle in your life, be persistent. Listen to your doctors, because they know better. I wish you all full and speedy recovery.
Your comment is such a blessing to this channel.
I took a tumble 2 weeks ago when I got caught in the lawn mower pull cord and landed on my shoulder in the driveway and have this fracture. I am very motivated to improve as I will have a new grand baby to hold in July! I’m sure my doc will prescribe physical therapy, but I’m so glad to have something to follow along with in the meantime. You have a very gentle manner. Thank you!
Ouch! Sorry about the tumble but holding that darling grandchild is a wonderful motivation to get strong ; )
I think you'll find that the PT will be great and you will still continue with this series. Share it with your doc and PT. They may want to use it for their people.
I wish you strength and vitality
Thank you, Dr, this video is very helpful for a woman over 65 years old with left shoulder humerus fractured.
After six days from my fall, I was able to do this exercises.
Glad it was helpful! I look forward to your full recovery AND THEN SOME ; ) Just follow the videos and, if you find yourself at a plateau a few months, get some ESWT
I suffered this injury two days ago when I fell in my yard. Thank you for sharing this series! I so appreciate the compassion and positivity during this difficult time.
Glad you found these early!
Hello, I fell and broke my humerus on my 60th birthday!! Never broken anything before. I have been given a sheet of physio exercises, but I am so happy to have found you and have something to follow along and I love your gentle encouragement. I am on week four so am doing your first two videos right now. thank you so much.
I cannot, thank you enough. I broke this bone about a week ago when I flew over the handlebars of my bicycle, going downhill at 30 mph (I am 64 years of age, male). I have been taking opioid medication for pain, but after completing this exercise routine on your video, I feel pain-free for the first time and will skip the next dose of medication. This has been great for me. Thank you.
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed!
I fractured my humerus last week during an arm wrestling tournament. I had surgery three days ago and I just can't wait to be back at the gym! I am also a police officer and all I want is to be back on the street. I know that healing will take time but if there’s anything I can do to aid the process, I am all about it!
You're on it, Rosario. Kind of ironic that you are chasing criminals all day and you get the injury arm wrestling. You are determined, though and i know you are going to rock this rehab and keeping our streets safe again soon. : )
You are incredible! Thank you for these videos!! You are helping so many people. Your positivity and kindness are inspiring. Thank you thank you! I fell coming down off a step and ny ankle rolled 3 weeks ago and these videos are so helpful!
So happy you are moving forward. Sorry about the misstep. when you are more healed. Add 10 min of one legged balancing to get your ankles/proprioception improved to avoid another fall
I cannot thank you enough . I am female 79 years old . Fell. I have a comminuted fracture involving the head, surgical neck . Super super painful. I following your videos and so so grateful for them ,!
i wonder if you had surgery? i broke mine like you 10 days ago but they but me on conservative treatment,should i get second opinion i am wondering
This is exactly what I need! I fell on ice 10 days ago. So painful and frustrating. these exercise videos and your encouraging voice give me hope that I can get through this and move forward. Thank you.
Thank you so much for these videos I just found you yesterday and have already done the video 4x I felt a little more sore the 4th time around, not sure why but I also tried not taking my meds until I absolutely had to.
I was celebrating my friend’s bday and we were being silly together, I have this thing where I love giving piggyback rides & I was telling her how proud of myself I was for getting to 250 lbs on the leg press machine at the gym, next thing you know I’m giving her a piggyback ride and it was raining out, we were two steps away from my front door when I stepped on slippery ground lost my balance and fell forward towards a wall with her on top of me. I fell unconscious for a couple of seconds and when I came to I was in excruciating paid. My boyfriend rushed me to the hospital & we discovered I had a spiral fracture on my humerus, completely broken. The worst pain I have ever felt in my life, they admitted me into the hospital and I spent about 3-4 days there, had surgery the day after being admitted & now have a titanium rod in my arm. This has been a very difficult and painful time for me as everything has slowed down, I’ve had to cancel my boyfriend’s bday plans this week since traveling to an island just doesn’t seem like an option & I’m praying I’ll be healed enough to fully participate in my maid of honor duties for my best friend’s wedding in June. My soft cast was removed last Monday & I’ve been trying to get an appointment to start physical therapy, my wrist and hand can barely move from being in a cast, surgery was 2/26/23 now I’m just sporting a wrist brace & sling, so grateful I found your videos to help while I get my physical therapy situated, you are a blessing.
Also I wanted to ask about the bone strengthening vitamins you mentioned I didn’t see a link for them in the description. Thanks so much!
I can help you out with some great vitamins that I have used in this journey. I purchased all of them off Amazon. I think he said Bone Up. I have been watching so many helpful videos where this injury is so common. I have taken Geritol liquid( just because it’s a strong multivitamin (and I hear people use it all ages; but I am 49), Vitamin D3+K2( micro ingredients is the brand it’s yellow orangish writing), Optimal Carnivore - Bone & Joint Restore, Mend-Repair and Recover citrus powdered drink for fractures and breaks that delay healing for tissue repair from injury, surgery or sports, Nestle OPTISOURCE Post Bariatric chewable-22 Vitamins ( including all for bone healing I.e Phosphorus, Calcium,etc), Chamomile tea- good for broken bones, Nettle tea- Joint Support, Accupuncture- Revive- Asian Supplements 3X a day after meals, Jin Gu Die Da Pian- Bruise Mender, Zhuang Gu Gu Ben Pian- Bone Vigor, Collagen, Life Extension- Bone Restore - with Vitamin K2, Dinmark Herbs- Bone Mending Pills. I also took GNC Pro Performance Creatine Monohydrate 4 times a day while in my cast to help heal my fracture. www.alive.com/health/fractured-a-bone/
I have taken these Vitamins over 12 weeks.Soft Cast(5 weeks), hard cast (6 weeks), smaller cast( 3 weeks) next is therapy 🙏🏽
I’m not even sure where to begin. Your videos are enormously helpful and I am incredibly grateful for you and expertise. Nothing is broken but I happened to wake up with a sore shoulder after sleeping on it and tried this new video because why not…and it already feels better. Thank you. 🙏
Ah Jenn! Thank you so much. Your comment warms my heart. This is the first of a 13 video series that will be launched weekly for 13 weeks. It's not a big audience but I know those who find it will need it.

Thank you so much for this, fractured mine last Saturday. I could shed a tear I'm so grateful
Ahhh...I'm so happy you found me early in the process, Alexander. Let's face this mountain together and, please, give me some comments along the way on how you're doing.
I am sooooooo thankful I found your videos! I tripped over my dog’s crate on Jan 14 and my arm was outstretched so when I hit the wall, it bent up and backwards. I knew immediately that I needed to go to the ER. They said I had a slightly displaced proximal humerus fracture. I saw an ortho who put me in a sling and said the only thing I could do was bend at the waist and let my arm dangle a few times a day, until I saw him 3 weeks later. My boyfriend basically had to move in with me because I can’t dress myself alone (as a larger chested woman, a bra is not an option to me if I go anywhere, and obviously I can’t take one off or put it on by myself).
THEN a week later (on the 21st) I was taking my dogs out (one at a time) because my bf was staying at his house for the night. My precious pittie must’ve seen something (it was pitch black) and she bolted. It happened so fast and so sudden that it caught me off guard and I didn’t even have time to let go of her leash. I got pulled up against the corner of my house and then ping ponged hard on the ground - directly on my broken shoulder. I was literally writhing in pain and the tears started flowing (I didn’t even cry when I broke it the week before, nor did I cry 10 years ago when I broke my ankle in 4 places).
I called a friend who picked me up and took me to the ER. They re-xrayed it again and I had managed to further displace the fracture (you can see on the xray how it is now almost detached from the bone), AND I fractured my elbow (my arm was in the sling so I have no clue how I fractured the elbow).
I’ve been feeling more and more defeated because normally I’m super independent. I hate relying on anyone, let alone not being able to do “simple” things.
Not only did these exercises help relieve some of the pain, but your calming words almost made me cry as if I’m understood and not crazy or exaggerating the pain and inability to do certain things.
I’m definitely here with you for a while. Thank you again.
I'm so pleased I came across your video. You are so calming.and kind. I do find the music distracting though. So much better when it's turned down. Thanks so much.I do appreciate you.
Oh my goodness. You are absolutely amazing. Thank you so much. I have a fractured shoulder from a hard fall. Im 2 1/2 months in and don’t drive so I have no access to physical therapy. You are so awesome,soothing,positive,and helpful. Your voice is very soothing. I feel like I’m meditating and relaxing during my exercises with you. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I am ridiculously happy to be helping you. Especially, with no access to a PT. Keep up the great work,Lisa!
Thank you soo much. I tripped over a tree root and hurdled into a tree and broke my humerus. I went to our emergency straight away but have not had an appointment since waiting to hear from the fracture clinic. I am so grateful for this help.i am getting better every day ❤
I fell the day after Mother’s Day and broke my humerus at 48 years old. I am a mother of 4 and I’d rather have 4 more babies at 49. The drs said it was a clean break; yet I sat in the soft sling for 5 weeks and now a long cast. I am week 5 again ( in long cast) and praying for total healing. I pray for us all because I have never broken a bone and I started roller street skating to loose the Covid weight and I would rather stay fat. I’m back at the orthopedic next week. I’m taking every bone mending Asian herb- including Acupuncture, I’m on Calcium, Bone Marrow, Vitamin D-K and Geritol. I feel better, but I am scared of everything; I don’t want to ever fall again. As soon as I get out of this cast, I’m buying knee, elbow, neck pads and probably bubble wrap. I just purchased the vitamin you mentioned and if you know any specialist in Atlanta Georgia please refer for therapy. I’m not entertaining surgery because I spoke to another lady 46 who have the same injury with surgery and is 46( younger than I) her healing is delayed so I am not forcing or rushing mine with surgery. Her bone shattered, mine didn’t and it’s lined up and healing in Gods timing ❤
so glad you are resting in God's timing and giving yourself what you need. Consider this trial pure joy as it is producing perseverance and maturity ; )
Thankyou so much for doing theses video's Mr Fields. I'm on 3.5 weeks after falling through the ceiling. Your video's are fantastic and helping me . Waited 48 years to fracture my first bone. Very scary experience . Thanks my friend.
I’m into day ten of this injury which happened while walking the promenade deck of a cruise ship in fairly calm seas. 71 and otherwise for so hoping your videos will help a speedy recovery. Thank you so much.
You're absolutely amazing for making these videos 🙌🏼 I'm so grateful for having found these so early in my recovery. I found out Monday I fractured my proximal humerus (non-dislocated thankfully) on Friday in a ski accident in the High Tatras of Slovakia. I moved here from the US on a temporary work-visa and am an avid rock climber who just happens to like to ski sometimes. So much for climbing plans this summer..eek. I caught a bit too much speed going downhill and veered right to avoid other skiers/snowboarders because I knew I was going down. Hard hit. Bad bad, not good. I got up to assess the damage, heard a slight crackle/pop, and knew it was over... adrenaline was coursing through me and knew I needed to take several minutes to gather myself. Also, a friend I was skiing with almost had a heart attack seeing my *glorious* wipeout and I wanted to make sure they were good too. I got back up on my skis and when I felt the pain shoot in my arm when I grabbed my poles I knew then there was no way I could ski down from that point...so I trekked (ego was hit hard in that moment too). Ended up taking a lift back up (only way out was through) and then skied down a blue (no poles) to get to base, get out of my ski gear and take Tylenol immediately. Ended up using my doggie bags to fill with snow to ice the damage.
Anyways, it's been an adventure to say the least and going through Slovak healthcare system has actually been...good! X-rayed, ultrasound, and referred to a specialized sports center by Orthopedic badass I found for MRI to ensure no tendon tears and begin PT in a couple weeks.
Not sure what to actually expect for recovery and if/when I'll be able to get back to climbing/surfing in the next 12 months but hoping for the best and staying positive.
Thanks again for making these videos and your outlook -- it's genuinely so refreshing and nice (especially for someone who's so far from home).
Oh my, Talia! You remind me of myself in my 20s. Charging the mountains on my mountain bike, skiing double blacks, surfing double and triple overhead waves, rock climbing in Yosemite, etc.. Now I have 6 year old twin girls and we're skiing in Tahoe next week and jumping in the kelp forests in Santa Cruz in springtime. I know we speak the same language on that.
Well, the gifts of slowing down and patience are yours to be had with this one. Time to embrace a different perspective.
I am thrilled to be on the journey with you.
Thanks for checking in.
@@dradamfields Ah, love to hear it! We definitely speak the same language on all that. You mentioned you liked to hear people’s stories in the video so happy to have provided a new one here for ya!
Have so much fun in Tahoe with the girls (love Tahoe!) and of course, be safe (know you guys will be)!
Be well and thanks again for making these videos - you rock!
I took a tumble at the weekly 5k parkrun at our local country park. Tripped on a treeroot and faceplanted. There's quite a few staff from our local Hospital that regularly do this run, and that's how I ended up with two Consultants, a GP, two nurses, a Policewoman and a Physio ( all off duty ) fussing over me as they waited for the Ambulance. Impact fracture of the proximal humerus, gravel rash, bruised ribs etc. You don't bounce as well once you reach your 70's!.
These videos are excellent, can't wait to get out running again.
Sounds like a mountain bike injury I had years ago. So glad you have a vision for your recovery. Go for it!
Thank you so much, this is absolutely great
! I am going to see you at least twice a day !!!!!
So happy you are here and have a path to strength. ; )
Just stumbled(haha) upon your video. I was helping my daughter learn to skateboard and the board came out from under me. I fell and landed on my elbow fracturing my humerus. I have radial nerve palsy and waiting for surgery. Im grateful for your video. Itll help immensely!
Love your videos. Fractured my humerus while running, when my ankle had a twinge and down I went. Almost finished with week 3 and can’t wait for the next phase. Thanks for the permission to just heal myself
thank you. I was so miserable after my break and wondering if I would ever fully recover. This is so helpful and empowering.
You're getting better every day ; )
Just found your channel….on day 16 after a downhill biking accident. Grateful for help in my healing process….thank you.
I was a competitive mountain biker...I understand ; ). Here's hoping you're on the bike soon and embracing the process.
Dr. Fields, Thank you for you service providing self-help consult to those in need. I have successfully progressed through your entire Proximal Humerus Fracture Therapy series with excellent results. My 12 week Dr visit has indeed verified that my fracture has healed and my shoulder's range of motion has been preserved. I will need to continue ROM routine for I might have an acute rotator cuff injury that occurred when I initially fractured my humerus (minimally displaced greater tuberosity).
Post 12-weeks symptoms include shoulder pain when I reach behind back and attempt to lift arm away from back.
I am hopeful I will have good results treating this conservatively (without surgery). My Dr will assess progress 6 weeks from now.
I'm so happy for your diligent work and wonderful progress!

Hello i am lena iam 67 years old. I am so thankful i found your videos and greatly appreciate them. They are very encouraging. I have been doing them since week 1. I fell sept 28 and if course had alot of pain at the beginning but have been doing very good. My hand wrist and fingers have been oretty much painfree till yesterday i went to the dr. He was pleased and said it is healing very well
This ie lena again then the dr moved my fingers and wrist and arm. Hurt some and today i can hardly use it. Whole hand is swelled. What does that mean
just found yor channel and you light up my day. fractured my right humerus bone while panting in the addict. i was standing on 2 planks which we put on the stairwell. we were done panting and removed the uuper plank. with my stupid head i stept on the onderlaying plank which broke and i fell 2 meters down on the stairs. my fall was broken by my pelvis where i had a wound from labia untill the bone from the pelvis. landed on my right shoulder which i knew instantly, broke. i lost 1 liter of blood threw the wond and stayed therefor in hospital 2 days. i am doing pretty well in recovering. its been 2 weeks ago. i must say that youre positive vibe makes my day. i will follow your program along with my own fysiotherapy
What a crazy fall with catastrophic consequences....yet you have an air of positivity and hope.: )
You may need to find someone that is very good with ESWT as you may end up with some scar tissue in your pelvis and shoulder. So glad I could be a positive part of your day.
Hello 👋 on 1/14/23 I was coming up from the basement with my arms full. When I got to the top my German Shepherd jumped up and pushed her paws on my chest, I flew down at least 6-7 steps, then slid the rest. I shattered my humerus, and fractured my ulna and radius. The surgeon was able to do the needed repairs with plates and screws. Things were moving along okay until I ended up with a horrible infection. Currently have a PICC line for daily Rocephin and Oral Rifampin twice a day. I have a wound vac on my incision to assist in the draining.
As of today 3/25, my labs are improving so much! I am on the mend, however the doc has to go back in, eventually, after bone growth happens, and remove the hardware. In the meantime I have home nursing and home OT.
I came across your videos this week. I am starting with week 1-3 and I love these exercises. Honestly my tightness has settled down a bit already.
I know I have 10-12 months of recovery ahead of me at least! Your videos are so helpful to me. Attainable exercises that I am comfortable with and definitely helps my mental health. Being home bound is HARD, especially for a 45 year old.
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this video. My injury happened yesterday and I have been feeling pretty down about it. It happened at a camping music festival and I had to leave early. It was dark and crowded and I tripped over a tree root. My Arm caught the tree and my body went down. This is my 1st time fracturing/breaking anything. This video was very encouraging.

Hi Dr. Fields! I’m 2.5 weeks into a mid-shaft humeral fracture (non-dominant limb 🙏🏼) & treating conservatively with a Sarmiento brace/sling. I’m a 61 yr old F, no h/o osteoporosis. Have been on D3 for a long time (last level was ~85 I think.) I was carrying a full laundry basket down the stairs and at the very bottom I must’ve thought I was on the last step but was on the 2nd. I stumbled across my kitchen & my humerus slammed against the edge of a granite countertop. The granite won. Thankfully I have no other injuries. My shoulder and wrist are good; radial & ulnar nerves intact. 🙏🏼 I’ve been rather surprised by how VERY painful this injury is. My husband is a big, strong guy and I’m little but the pain was such that he called EMS. I’m still needing a norco 5mg at bedtime and usually one more dose late afternoon. I want off asap but I’m also trying to be kind to myself.
Count me as being committed to your series here!
I do have one question: What about TENS? The med literature looks more positive for acute pain than I had expected. Thanks so much! Sorry for being verbose but I’m mindnumbingly bored. I’m retired and usually spend my days sewing & being artsy. I miss it.
I bet you miss using that wonderful shoulder. Nice D levels. Get on K2-7 as well for calcium appropriation. I am not a user of tens but, if you have it, there could be some blood flow and pain relief their. Might be good after the rehab exercises as well. Hand in there, girl! Check with your doctor but, probably time to get off of the brace soon. I'm glad you found me ; )
Good day, I tripped on some uneven pavement in NYC on the way to see a Broadway play. Needless to say, saw Mt. Sinai ER instead. I have a non displaced humerus fracture in 3 places, looks like a triangle on X-ray. I am grateful to have found your videos to start the process as I am only 2 weeks in. I start PT in week 4 which makes me very nervous. I feel starting this process with you is really helping my anxiety about therapy. Thank You!b
I hope your are skipping in NYC soon!
I fell the Sunday before Thanksgiving. I shattered my humerus they put a plate in from my elbow to my shoulder but said my shoulder and my elbow were fine. I came home from the hospital Thanksgiving Day. I tripped over the vacuum cleaner in my bedroom it happened so fast. It was 10:00 at night and I had to call an ambulance. Thank you for being here.
Thanks for sharing. Week 4 of proximal humerus fracture which required surgery. Hoping to get back to golf and hockey soon!
Fracture my humorous head march 12, 24 a week today, going to hotopedic today. I would be following you. Thank you so much
Shame on my doctors/ER/hospital not telling me to exercise injured arm!😡
Happy I came across these videos, Dr. Fields!😊 I'm starting with Week 1-3, just to see, even though I'm 5 weeks in.😞
Thank you!💕 Thank you!💕
My story 👇🏼
I was coming home from gym, had hands full, shoestring was untied.
I must have stepped on it and bang!💥
I had 2 stitches over my right eye, too!
Just miserable!
5 weeks in!
Hasn't been fun!😭
Thankyou, my case is communited non displaces proximal humerus fracture, i see this video, my fracture is 1 week & 2 days this year, i can follow your exercise rehablitation daily, and i can feel relax to my body
Carrying a rowing boat on my shoulder at the front end with someone at the other end, and I stumbled over something on the floor, fell on my left side with the front half of the rowing boat landed on my shoulder.. humeral head fractured but really want it to heal quickly so I can get back to rowing again! Thank you for this, I follow what you do!
Tough fall...So glad to be helping you get active again and glad you have a goal.
Thank you. My # is at day 5 and ive gone from work crazy to nothing and discharge from ED with no follow up until day 9 post injury. I feel as though you are giving me some hope and yep im going to follow youre program. Like others was on line day 2 lol. Im oldish and fell hard on right side sigh. Excuse one hand typing.
Thank you so much. I am from Nigeria currently in week 3 of my accident. I discovered your video last week. I was in a bus going home from work late night. Our bus crashed into another vehicle and because I was close to the door without a seat belt, I fell off. I could have died but I survived with a fracture of my left humerus and minor injuries.
Broke my humerus two days ago while skiing, let’s see how this goes… thanks for the motivational talk in any case - really needed to hear this!
I love skiing but it is dangerous. You got this, Rossana!
Broke my humerus skiing too getting bumped off a chairlift getting on. I was given a sling like the doctor is wearing too. When it came time for physio I was given a heated towel to kill the pain but unfortunately it would fall off as I tried to bend my arm. I then thought of buying a thermal leg wrap designed for horses which covered the whole length of my arm as the whole arm was painful and this was an excellent painkiller despite the fact it dripped water which I did not care about as it was working so well. I don't remember how many weeks of physio it took but it worked and I needed no painkillers at all.
You are so kind😊❤
A week out of surgery for my shattered clavicle. I tried to shoulder charge the earth out of orbit by going over my bike on a steep descent. I have a plate now. I am happy that I found this routine, because I have to say, the doctor just said shoulder rotations until I see him next - which will be next week. However, I feel that I am healing nicely, so long as I do not sneeze or blow my nose - jip cracked ribs as well. The thing I still need to figure out is: what can I do to keep other parts of my body exercised. Thanks for this series!
After not having a good experience at the nhs , a and e, being sent home after fracture with ill fitting sling and xray gown still on, and no after care leaflet, I thought I'd search Internet on how to take care of myself before my 1st appointment with orthopaedics. I sent for new sling from amazon as actimove sling not adjusted and cut to size. Have been searching for videos to help. Thank-you.
Ty Dr Adam for the execsises and educating us how to start mooving our broken limb. I was running after the bus when I slip and slieded and broke the humerous by the shoulder. Again thank you so much and I will follow you week by week. ( today I completed my 3-rd week from the accident :P. ) XX: Annamaria
I'm so happy to be a part of your healing journey, Annamaria.

@@dradamfields Thank you, very kind of you :)
Out of my cast, I am scared of everything. I am here with you every day
So happy you are, Dani
Dani, where are you with your recovery, I read one of your post, did you fall skating, I did on march 2, 2024,
Sorry this is the first time I have commented so you can't even imagine my history but here goes: my mother is here, she has dementia, I got up to do my walk at 7 am and have been going 90 mph since. My head was about to explode, had to eat some Calm chocolates. Long story short I came in my office to do the first video just to be able to sit and
rest and realized it is my new meditation. I did it with my eyes closed cause I have it memorized. My mom came out of the bathroom then began lugging her clothes out to the closest door. I know she wants to go home cause this is where she belongs right now to complete a work in her heart. Anyway we had a long talk I was quite happy but she
went back to negative. So after exercising my arm I thought of a song I wrote called Is Your Slate Clean and that it was talking to her I went to the piano and began to play it I found out how much I needed the breathing exercise and my fingers all enjoyed more exercise playing the piano and thought I should share with you because of the peace I got from you and your video. A great big THANK YOU!!!
Great video and I will be practising these exercises every day as I was given nothing, just time healing advice.
Three weeks ago I was dumped by a wave and somehow injured my arm in the process, the pain was excruciating! The following day I saw an ER doctor and the x-ray confirmed that I have a fractured shoulder, not to immobilise it, just rest and painkillers. However I know have massive bruising running down my arm, which is gradually changing colour from black and purple to yellow, so I know the body is doing its job healing. I’m getting a lot of unwanted attention though because it’s ghastly to look at. Anyway should I get another x-ray from my own doctor and seek physical therapy ? Thank you.
thanks very much for the video. any advice on how to do the exercises that require a functional arm when you have 2 proximal humeral fractures?
I fell in the parking lot of Wal-Mart on February 23, 2024. All I was doing was opening the back door of my assisted living provider's car to put my bags in the backseat when I fell over the metal strip that anchors the cart corral to the ground (I told a few people that I lost a fight with the cart corral at Wal-Mart). Since I have a mental disability and receive services from ,my county Board of Developmental Disabilities, my provider had to make out an incident report. (Since I'm 47, I'm not eligible for home health, since I have a husband.) I was able to get in to see my primary care doctor that afternoon (I fell in the morning). Since this happened, my husband has had to get up when I do to help me take my shower, get dressed, and get my breakfast--then at night, he helps me change into my nightgown. I have been to an orthopedic doctor twice since it happened, and I have another follow-up and X-ray in a couple of weeks to determine how soon I can take the sling off.
bike crash, humerus neck 2 fractures day 7.....so thank you are now my best friend for the next year
That's the attitude, Stephen!
I used to race mountain bikes and know that crash.
Usually it's OTB....over the bars.
@@dradamfields nice i. used to race xc as well, this was fat biking popped into an ice patch w speed tire washed and super man onto right shoulder wham! friggen
still hurts like hell lol
Aye yay yay. Rebuilding is happening. You may need to get some ESWT for the pain.
Fractured my humerus greater tubersity Feb 5th while on my daily power walk in my historical town where the city rarely takes care of sidewalks so i went flying and threw my right arm over to brace me but insteadended up with this fracture. At 63 i 'm pretty active and this is driving me insane as i will have to get back to my pullups and pushups...wonder how long that will be.....
Curious what you recommend about wearing the sling?
Do you have a series of videos for a displaced proximal humerus fracture? Can I use these? It's a little, but not terribly, displaced. They are hoping it will heal on its own without surgery. I'll hear about that in two weeks. Thanks!
My story is quite stupid, on December 3rd I went skiing and had a wonderful time. Went really fast, first day of the season and we decided to go eat at 2pm, we arrived in a skilift where we'd removed our skis and had them in had, the restaurant was across from us after a tiny ~10m hill followed by a flat area. We decided not to put our skis on and just walk/slide down. My friends did a few steps a few slides but I decided to use my ski boots as mini skis and sled the whole slope XD When met with the flat area, my boots blocked and I fell head first at very high speed, only one arm free, left one took all the shock, shoulder pop out, had to bring my arm under me to pop it back in. Diagnostic : a little of everything, micro fractures, ruptured ligament and tendon.
Hi, I've broken the had of my humerus in 2 places whilst skiing in France (day 2 😢), your video is amazing. I've done this video 3 times and it's all fine. When do we know we are ready to proceed. I broke it 3 days ago.
Dear Dr.Fields, thank you so much for the great videos!!! This is really way to go! I would like to ask you if you might add subtitles in Russian,. Many people would be very grateful to you for this!
I'll give that a try.
Enjoy the series

9 weeks ago I missed a step and fell reaching out to catch the top step. I dislocated my shoulder right off the bat. The emt came to reset my shoulder . It took 7 tries and 2 shots of pain medication to reset my shoulder. In the er the X-rays (and another round of of pain meds) showed my humerus was broken in several spots. Cat scan (followed by pain med) showed sever damage that would require surgery.
I had to go to the orthopedic surgeon. 2 weeks later is when I had surgery. A 2 hour surgery end up being 5 hours . I ended up with a plate and 10 screws to put my humerus together. Of course that was not the only injuries - my rotator cuff was torn in several places and totally torn from the bone in two places and my bicep muscle was severely torn. I’m a 64 year old female in reality good health. I was told I may never regain full use of my arm again - mind you this is my right arm and I’m right arm dominant. I started pt 4 days after surgery. I came across these videos for extra exercises to do (with pt approval) at week 7
I’m over 100 prom flexion and 60 prom abduction. I’ve been told because of the total damage my pt will be months slow and steady and not to push myself because I’ll injure myself again and set my recovery back. I was just given authority by the doctor to drive, with the caveat that I have to have a co-pilot for the next two weeks to ensure I can comfortably handle the steering wheel and shifting
- even go park to drive refugees strength. No lifting over 2 pounds. By 12 weeks I can do 5 pounds. So everyone is different a lot depends on the extent of injury. I’m still trying to find videos that include a humerus break and rotator cuff damage. Hopefully these videos will help getting a close to 100% as possible I’ve been told I could be 18 months before I reach goal.
Hi Dav, You have a realistic goal. 12 to 18 months sounds about right. Even then you will be doing shoulder exercises forever but have great looking muscles ; ). There are no-weight shoulder exercises and weighted exercises that come after this series that will do wonders for you. Slow, steady and light reps are your friend right now.
...And BTW, you are now left arm dominant. Enjoy the musculo-neurological journey. I'm sure you are celebrating each little victory.
Hello dr fields. This is lena again. I sent two comments yesterday one went on the reply by mistake. My question is how do i get over my swelled wrist the quickest? Use it or keep it still. I have a grandbaby being born next week and really hoping i can use it. Thank you so
Much
Hello good morning so helpful. Broke humerus in three parts. What's a good therapy.
Which brand of splint are you using?
Is there any chiropractor you recommend in Atlanta Georgia for laser therapy?
I am on day 5 - I am so glad I found these exercises. My orthopedic doctor did not tell me to do any exercises yet - just the pendulum after week 2. I think he is wrong - there should be some movement immediately following the injury.
Yes, with caution, there should be some movement. Send your orthopedist this link to the playlist. He could use it

@@dradamfields Thank you. Question - is it possible to dislocate something in the shoulder after the break if raising the arm too soon? If so, what would the symptoms be of a dislocation? I raised my broken arm over head without thinking when I first woke up. My arm does not feel any different.
Helo Adam, thank you. with a broken humerus, when someone can start wearing a garment such as bras for example?
My 14 year old son broke his proximal humerus 3 weeks ago…. On the high school baseball team he threw to another boy and it broke… turns out he has a ubc cyst… weakened the bone and caused the fracture…. I’m hoping he will recover fully 😢
Decided to arm wrestle, now I’m here 2 days later haha we got this!
I never expected to hear that. Stick with my videos and the rematch is going to be awesome...but give it some time ; )
same bro.. now im day 6 at home
@@aliffaiman660 posted that comment 10 months ago, now im back to Ill say 90% normal. When I Lift weights it hurts but I’ve accepted it and itll get better. Remain positive and patient, you’ll get there too!
Hello, Are these exercises good if you had cominuted, impacted and displaced proximal humerus fracture. I had surgery with a plate and 10 screws and I'm a 67 yr female
See you tomorrow, I just got out my cast yesterday
I bet that feels good. Enjoy each step. You'll probably only go through this once in your life. : )
Historic ice storm in Portland, OR led to 1000's of people falling and breaking body parts. I was one of those people!
So very grateful for these videos - with little proactive direction from the med team I was determined to find not only the best healing meditations but also look for practical simple exercises to assist in the repair of a fractured humerus nearly 3 days in - your guidance here is so appreciated-!at 72 and physically fit and healthy diet I’m grateful and determined to have the best recovery possible 🙏

Hi Diane, wondering how you are recovering and what you are doing that is working. Are you doing Dr Fields exercises since he has different ones for different weeks. I am day 7 in - my arm is in a sling but I take it off several times during the day to let my arm hang. I do not have as much pain as I had the first few days. I will start walking outside next week when I am 2 weeks into this recovery couple of times a day short distance at first. Take care.
Your exercises are excellent.I have undergone surgery for shaft of humerus on 07/08/23.I am following your videos.But sir I have lot of pain in shoulder.not able to do exercises shown in 7th week video.I went for check up with surgeon he said bone is healing well.how long will i take to get back yo normal
my left humerus broke on Nov 30 but operated 9n Dec 14 but due to complications I didnt take early rehab
just found your video following some step coz my rehab (pt] have a little different early step maybe because i have catether.m
3 weeks in. My injured arm is darker than the other, like a suntan. No tingling or numbness. Should I be concerned?
I don’t see the links mentioned for the vitamin recommendations
I fell thru my porch landing on Tuesday evening. The ER said it’s a simple closed proximal fracture of my left humerus I find l can do these first exercises fairly easily. Should l do these for awhile or move to second phase? This shoulder was frozen and had bone spurs a few tears ago. I remember the pendulum exercises. I can’t see my orthopedic person until 5/25. I remember my pt for my shoulder surgery began a few days after. It was very painful. This is very painful. I forged a close healing relationship with my therapist and orthopedic doctor at the time but my insurance changed and l can’t have them for this go around. I was only given three days worth of pain medicine so l am interested in some natural pain management as well. The exercises are wonderful.
Hi Vera, Stick with these as your bone needs some time to start mending. Try some topical analgesics like Tiger Balm or CBD. I'm so happy you found me. ; )
❤ my dc hero💟✨
I hope you include a side view of the exercises so that slow learners like me can visualize the proper exercise. I didn't understand the clock exercise stuff.
Anyways I really appreciate your videos. I already subscribed too. Thank you for this Doc
Noted and happy to help, Andrew
Thank you so much doctor, this is my 4 weeks post humerus plating surgery, i still can not do anything with my fingers and my wrist is always totally flexible like I can't control my wrist, should i be worry or it normal for now?
He Ajayi, Plese see your doctor and have it checked out. We need to make sure it is not a neurological pinch somewhere upstream from your wrist. Otherwise, keep up the videos
my nerves were damaged in my left hand,which was broken i n an accident..its a lot of pain and the meds are costly..how long again i will cant use this left hand?
Sorry to hear about your mom’s fracture - sending well wishes for her recovery 🙏 Your video timing is (unfortunately) perfect for me as 6 weeks ago while visiting friends and family in Whistler, I was walking my friend’s dog on an snow / ice covered sidewalk going downhill. With my arm outstretched holding the leash, I went down hard and landed in excruciating pain. I was assuming soft tissue damage, but an orthopedic doctor visit and X-ray when I returned home showed a non-displaced fracture of the proximal humerus bone - diagonally and laterally from the greater turburcle where infraspinatus attaches. Your encouraging words and guidance in your video are so appreciated. Im trying to accept the healing timeline but it is challenging. Grateful for this - thank you!
Oh Lee!!!!! I fear slipping on ice, myself and I am so bummed for you but so grateful I get to be a part of your healing process. All 13 of the videos are already on my channel if you go to my playlists.

I am 5 months into my healing from a humeral head fracture, but I have hit a plateau where the scapula won’t rotate properly to allow my humeral head to drop down into the socket. I am working on strengthening the serrated anterior but it doesn’t seem to be helping. Also, my external rotation is not quite as full as my uninsured arm (missing that last 20 degrees in spite of external rotation exercises and stretching of the pec minor. Amy suggestions.

2 places! That is def. more complex. Make sure you have clearance from your PT/MD before getting too aggressive.
Omg I am in so much pain. I am only able to sleep a bit in a chair. When will I get back in my bed? Thanks for the exercises. 65 year old male.
Hi Dr. Adam !
I have Proximal humerus fructure on my right shoulder and arm since 06/04/2024, fell down from a plastic chair,
at hospital they applied cast for me it was so heavy and painful for 10 days, removed and used Arm sling with belt to hold the arm from the middle to lower pain.
I can move or lift my arm within a limit, I can wash my face, but can't comb my hair, my friend Ortho told me that I'm not supposed to use shoulder cast,anyway I'm trying to follow up your classes to exercise.
What do you suggest so that I can lift my hand up freely 😞
HI! Sorry for your accident. I would go through the exercise videos as they are listed and be careful of pushing it too much until the fracture is confirmed healed on a post x-ray. share the video series with your ortho.

i had an unfortunate bicycle accident 10/22/2023. CT findings: 1). Mildly comminuted humeral neck fracture with extension to the anterior aspect of the humeral head articular surface. 2). Minimally displaced fracture through the base of the greater tuberosity. I am in a shoulder immobilizer and awaiting an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon 10/27/2023. I suffered a horrible calcaneal fracture in 2018 and after 2 surgeries required a subtalar fusion on peroneal tendon repair. I did not let that devastating injury slow me down. I hike, bodybuild, cycle, and climb. I am worried because I have great upper body strength and musculature. I don't want to lose that.
It's 10/27/2023. I saw the orthopedic sugeon today. I am scheduled for an ORIF 10/30/2023. This is for the best functional outcome with a rehab of 6-8 mo...
phew! Must be a serious break. I'll be seeing you on the other side of that surgery. Think stationary bike, pilates, hiking and leisure activities peppered with shoulder rehabilitation. Embrace the phase you are in and have a vision of where you are going. Most top athletes go through blocks of time recovering from injuries. You'll bounce back : )
I was in a traffic accident and had surgery two weeks ago as my shoulder was fractured at two different places. A little while before the accident I was placed in a safehouse with my two young sons. Meaning, no one is allowed to talk to us and ofcourse no one knows where we are so there’s no help.
I’m so glad I found you. Not only do you help me get through this but you’re motivating as well. Thank you so much, you’re appreciated 🥹🥺
I fractured my humerus I went to the emergency room and I’ve been in a sling since I take it after shower and stuff and then put it back on
So glad you found this series!
