I hate to ask & don't want you to relive your accident, but curious how did it happen? car crash?
Storm debris over a rise with double flat. Happened so fast, I thought the fork or stem broke. My big problem was pretty much ruining my humerus and elbow but two surgeries later, it is reasonable.
One thing to realize is that some of the pain you might feel now will subside. One Doc compared the muscles coming to a head (rotator cuff) as the tent and the bones as the tent poles. When you get an injury there, the muscles can drape down and then the bones can hit causing pain. It took me 4 months to sleep. Your joint will become more and more stable and that twinge will disappear or I hope for you. Your joint is probably still inflamed. I used a body pillow to keep off my left side, it helped a little but not a lot. Or just pile up some old pillows on your left, it might help you. GL on your recovery.
