Question for doctors on Volnation

[Orange12]

I've never heard of a sprained clavicle before. If someone gets one of these, how long would it keep that person from participating in yard work and housework. Asking for a friend. (Not a blue font)

Isn’t that what happened to Ewers?

seems like you could just use the uninjured arm/shoulder

You can sprain both the AC (acromioclavicular -- end by the shoulder) or SC (sternoclavicular -- end by the breastbone) joints. The former is much more common. Recovery time depends on severity, involvement of the joint capsule., and whether or not there is associated fracture.

@kiddiedoc whats your take on this stuff ? My grandsons Dr prescribed it for him - it has me worried about liver problems ---- Using valproic acid in infants and children below the age of 2 years can be considered as a safe and effective treatment option for epilepsy in this age group.

VA does have an extensive list of adverse reactions but is considered a first line treatment for multiple types of epilepsy in children. It is important to monitor the serum level and to follow blood counts and liver enzymes while taking it.
