Went to the ortho today and he went over my x rays and said 95% chance everything should heal normaly. The only bad thing is i will not be released until i am at 100% 8 weeks? thats a long time. They really cant do much for the collarbone break but try to keep it mobilized, everytime i turn i feel the bones rubbing and moving and that is uncomfortable (ok it hurts) I think when i am ready to ride again i wont be going very fast at all, in fact no scst for a while and no elevated ladder crossings.

Broke mine this past late summer / early fall. That bone rubbing - clicking thing sure is fun, huh?

Heal up quick!

I have broken mine twice.....it gets less painful each time.....but the lump gets bigger each time.

Look at the positive side.

When it heals it will be stronger than before

and...you get to have a cool bump there that will clearly identify you as a Mtn. Biker to everyone who sees you with your shirt off.

Good to hear you healing should be fine.Can you get on a trainer with out holding the bars?

ryandood · 03-05-2008, 09:38 PM

so does this mean no riding at all now? i was talking to some guy at the laguna hills performance and he broke his collar bone going over one of the bridges at scst too. I rode right off one once and superman'd it but wound up ok. get well!

ODB · 03-06-2008, 08:28 AM

On the bright side, at least you didn't need surgery. I was sidelined for four months last year cuz of my busted c-bone.

Hope you heal up fast.

Heal up real quick and then face your fears and ride the SCST on first ride back

Thats my plan next week try to stay in shape while i am healing. Funny thing is i bought the bike to get in some good cardio, now look at me sidelined for a couple months, staying fit sure can be un healthy

I was right behind you when it happened man, I'm glad the doc said you'll be fine.

I was always afraid of bridge and watching you crashed make me swear that i'll walk all bridge from now on.

Just relax and enjoy the time off. Make sure your arm stays next to your body on the trainer.
