How can broken breast bone be treated? How long does it take for it to heal? Does it need whole thoracic area and shoulders to be put in sling? Can it be that one doesn’t know that broke breast bone? Are there any external symptoms?
If it is not that broken that bone is poking through the skin, other symptoms can be noticed. Numbness and discoloration of skin, pain in arm and difficulty breathing are present. Lungs may be injured when breast bone breaks. Sling should be worn from 8 weeks and figure of 8 is used to hold neck, shoulders and thoracic area. But sharp pain in injury significantly indicates on serious problem.
