Instead, I was up for a large portion of the night, unable to get comfortable. This made me start the day grouchy, tired, and in pain. With the help of ibuprofen and an icy-hot wrap, I made it through the school day.
As long as I don't lift my arm up directly in front of me, I don't have any sharp stabs of pain. I can even raise my arm if I do so carefully from the side. The difficulty is that a low level pain radiates out from my shoulder no matter which way I have it.
The biggest issue is that I'm a baby when it comes to pain. It makes me particularly short-tempered and impatient. It also makes me prone to make more mistakes as my concentration on any given task tends to waiver.
Hopefully, the problem works itself out quickly. I really don't want to end up in a sling again.
