2. Bruising is a known symptom of a broken collarbone.
When you injured your shoulder, a bruise will appear since you landed on it. The size of the bruise depends on how hard you hit your shoulder on the ground. In order to get rid of the bruise, you’ll need to ice it several times a day. When icing it, place a towel over your shoulder and then the icepack or ice. You will get frostbite if you place the icepack directly on your skin. Icing should be done for 10 minutes every couple of hours. After a few days, the bruise should be gone.
Bruises take a long time to go away, so you’ll have to be patient. The bruise may be sore as well. It will be unsightly, so you should wear shirts that cover your shoulder. Don’t cover the bruise with a bandage because it’ll make the pain worse.
