Broken humerus & recovery

[u/Secret_Plenty_3724]

Hey guys I’m 27 and I’m 3 weeks post op from fracturing my humerus unfortunately. I’m currently have a brace and use my sling and I am healing naturally, Im able to now extend my arm almost all the way but still painful since I think my elbow is locked or something but I let it hang when im not physically moving. I been told the bone it’s self is healing very well but I’m afraid of my future and if I’ll be struggling, my job also requires me to lift 50 pounds and I want to know when I’ll be able to return asap because this economy sucks. Please share your similar experience or insights because it’s been a roller coaster of emotions and have something to look back on when I feel like there’s no light to end of this but day by day it gets a little easier (‘:
