Hello,
My name is Kelly Rollinson.
I hope all is great, I had an accident back in 2016 and had some x-rays turned out to have a broken collar bone, I hadn't done any surgeries due to personal issues but from 2020 till this stage 2022 at the age of 22years I have been experiencing much pain, numbness, pain at the back, there is no that I can do all I can do is to get used to the pain whenever I talk to my mom she's just giving me hope that everything will work out soon, I totally understand but I'm the one who is in pain.

Kindly advise me if there is any prescription medication that I can take because whenever it's cold I'm completely numb I can't feel my hand, head, lips, and leg well to feel better I massage using my right hand. I hope there is any treatment to release the pain that I'm able to bare for it rest of my life
