    Did the doc also mention you got the black lung? I'd look into that if I were you.



























    (you know I'm kidding right?)

    Take Care of yourself, I was riding AM 3 weeks after my clav break with minimal soreness. That hanging shard looks nasty.

    Heal up, but 3-5 months? WHAT? Thats way overprotective. Are you talking to a regular doctor or a orthopedic? It doesn't take 3-5 months to heal, especially if surgically set it. I would say 3 months should be the max not the min. I know with nothing to set the bones and not following the doctors directions I was healed in about 3 months.

    Well there are only 3 pieces of the clavicle. The last part on the far right is actually part of the scapula.

    Beautiful x-ray, kudos to your ability to make the rest of us cringe like that ;)

    Hope you heal up quick, and get your pain meds filled before you head home!

    That is without a doubt the worse collar bone break I've ever seen. Heal quick youngster and please do as the doc says. I'm still paying for not heading the doc's advice.

    quote " Take Care of yourself, I was riding AM 3 weeks after my clav break with minimal soreness. "

    Wow that is impressive....I broke my clavicle 5 1/2 weeks ago and I'm nowhere near to be able to ride!
    Doc said it will be 6-8 weeks to HEAL, doesnt mean I can ride after 6 weeks.

    Best vibes, heal fast!

    Just had my surgery on wednesday. Doc says I can't ride untill the rod comes out! :(

    The surgery was WAY worse than than the break itself. i have been lying around in severe pain for 3 days now.:?:

    I will post the after X-ray as soon as I get it!

    How'd you do it?

    On the bright side, when you have that much hardware the healing time can sometimes be much less. When I shattered my wrist and had a plate put in I got the cast off in only 12 days. Hopefully this speeds things up for you b/c broken collarbones suck!
