What Do You Suggest For A Fracture To My Left Shoulder?

I have a fracture to my left shoulder all the doctor here did was tell me not to move left arm and keep in sling. He said the muscle's around it will help heal it. I think they called it a hummus fracture. Should I go to another doctor for second opinion?

I will suggest you to take a second opinion. Humerus fracture if undisplaced can healin sling. It would be better if you post X ray to us , i can also explain you further treatment. Take tablet ultracet for pain relief and calcium to promote faster healing.
