Yes it is. I'm especially disappointed because I was hoping to use some of my non-deadline time late this year to do some painting outside. That now seems like a long shot.
It didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would. It was just an ache more than a stab of pain, until they moved my arm or had me try to move from one bed to another without help. I couldn't much use the arm, but it didn't hurt anywhere near as bad as kidney stones.
Kidney stones are my 9 of 10. I don't count it a ten because I want to leave room for even worse pain. Kidney stones, those stomach attacks I get (probably gall stones) and a very few of my worst migraines all tie for the most pain.
That's why I hate those scales of pain. I probably scored my arm way too low because I was comparing it to kidney stones.
