Orthopedics :: Broken Humerus - Pain / Healing Time?

Just a little background over the past 5 weeks.

I fell over and broke my left humerus 5 weeks ago yesterday. Initial visit to A&E which resulted in X-rays and put in a collar and cuff for the first 4 days.

I then visited Orthopedics and more X-rays taken and put into a Brace.

I was in the brace until week 4, when it was replaced by a plaster U slab as the brace was causing my arm and hand to be considerably swollen. My U slab had to be changed twice due to it moving constantly in this time and in my opinion not isolating the break.

I had an appointment yesterday at Orthopedics where it was replaced yet again, and told my next appointment is on the 18th of December.

My concerns,

Various different stories told as to healing times.

I am 5 weeks since the break, when will they decide if it needs operating.

I am taking serious pain relief which is barely touching it, and causing sickness.

Its seems like i am being a nuisance asking questions or going back to the hospital, am i being paranoid.

I have managed to take pictures of the X-rays every time they have been taken and week 5 looks the same as day 1.

I know Orthopedic Surgeons undergo the same training. I have a problem that my Surgeon is a lower limb specialist. I have asked to see the Surgeon who specialises in my the area of my break, but only to be told that they are all the same.
