Shirley re collar bone

[Guest guest]

Hello Shirley,

Obviously is right about drawing it to your doctor's attention, and no, we

aren't looking in the mirror, so can't do more than an informed guess as to the

cause, which could be one of many!!

One suggestion that springs to my smind is monostotic (affecting single bone)

Paget's of bone as it quite commonly affects the clavicle. (I had a patient with

it as a 'short case' in my final moons ago!

Just a thought.

Best wishes

Chris

PS It usually causes no problems when affecting one or two bones.

Thanks! I feel better about it today. You and have put any

concerns to rest.

I just worry that something might get in the way of my job. If it is

a life or death situation, there's no choice, but I don't want

anything until that next anniversary.

After I have my 35 years, they can say or do what ever pleases them.

I think my rheummy will put me on permanent light duty by then and

they will most likely offer me a disability pension. That would be

enough to carry me through until I can draw my Social Security.
