Thanks. Needed this. Not completely healed after 8 weeks. Still quite painful at times

What about the shortening of the color bone?

Hey you! Yes you! I was also in your situation 8 weeks ago, don't you worry it will get better in time.

Shhhhit, thanks a lot for the advice mate. I’ve been lucky it broke without dislocation. Its been now 18 days since I broke it and I was getting a bit too confident about it. Hearing you snapped it again has really gave me a heads up 🥴 Best of luck for you all

I’m two and a half weeks in and found your advice very helpful. I will definitely be taking on board your advice about watching what I’m doing so thank you for that.

Really helpful info, even 10 years later :)

Just bring broke mine out of string pain meds. One week …How long should you take them? Still really hurts. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Am really happy for this video more especially for living in an area were there no better medical facilities.

8 weeks post op / 9 weeks post break ... Mine was a mm away from bursting through the skin with 2 other shattered fragments .. surgery was the only option. Recovery has only JUST started making massive progress. Great video mate. Defo more informative than the doctos ive been dealing with

It would be important for everyone who suffered from this accident to see this video, he is absolutely right.

I broke mine April 31, 2022 on an accident. It’s been like 1 year and half now, can u still do surgery on it?

This is a most wonderful video it’s better than any doctor or nurse I’m so grateful for your time 👍🙋‍♀️Sandy

Broke mine in bike accident on .27.7.23 after 2 weeks no pain but no recovery broken in 3 pieces but connect nho displaced

I'm a week out of breaking mine, but due to one part being pushed up 2.5 cm, so it won't heal very well (if it at all), so surgery next Tuesday. . I don't have a lot pain now, except every now and then some sharp pain from the sharp end of the bone catching.

They had me thinking that my body is lacking vitamins. I was sent the bone stimulator and told to do blood work. I too thought it wouldn’t take long in I’m at 4 months already and still feeling my bone hurting and my arm locking up at times.

I must be a tough old 61yo cos never went to hospital just put up with it for 3 days . No drugs.

Mine broke in 3 or 4 places, I had a operation 4 weeks ago. They put in a metal plate and three or four screws, but the operation cause me to get a blood clot in my arm, that actually hurt worse than the broken bone and now I'm on blood thinners for the next 3 months. The side effects from the painkillers were so bad that I only took them for a day and a half after the operation, the pain sucked, but it was better than the side effects. I bought a little bit smaller dual sport and don't really have plans on riding for another 2 months

Broke my right collar bone at 17, mountain biking over far too big jumps from my skill level, I managed to break my left elbow, my right wrist and my right clavicle although my pain levels where very low as 2 days prior after the accident I did not need to take any supliments such as paracetamols and let it heal naturally after 3 days my pain was non existent and after one week visiting the gp they told me I am able to not wear a sling at home and now it has been 13 days since the accident and I'm feeling fine just a bump and two broken arms. But that was case for removing the sling ask a medical expert for approval

broke my collars almost 2 weeks ago. past few days its been more painful than the first week. bone is sticking out lol. thanks for your advice hard to believe in 9 years your video has been the most informative I've found on real life experience. so thank you, btw is there a part 2 to this video.

Thank you for removing the worry dear friend

I broke my Collarbone a week again, had surgery yesterday, my bones were overlapping and they went in did surgery and put a plate in and Screws. Didn’t really give me much of a recovery time. I play tennis, lifeguard, and weightlift I’m wondering when a timetable return for those activities will be.

Very good vid I’m currently in Turkey 🇹🇷 paragliding had a small accident on take off ended up 3 broken ribs & collar bone 🦴 excactly as you described .I left hospital said I ‘ll be back tomorrow as I have my dog with me in camper all they want to do is operate noo thanks I’ll take my chances & at 65 who cares about lumps & bumps sticking out 😅must say ribs are driving me mad 😡 guess no paragliding for couple months let’s see but great vid I know your not a medical person but, coming from someone like you I feel much better

I'm from Nairobi Kenya and I'm 4 weeks into healing, ranges of motion have increased and if you take care of it with a good nutrition it heals faster. #brokencollarbonesquad.

super helpful. thank you

Sup fam

Hi everyone, I broke mine in like 17 days ago. The doctor adviced me to get a surgery but i didnt, I just but it in sling and after two weeks it still pains when i move my arm around but i can do alot of actions i wasnt capable doing before like eating or putting shirt on or brushing my teeth. Just be strong and most importantly be patient as it may take a month or two to heal😊

7 weeks into my broken collarbone being treated non surgically .. rugby injury .. very informative video as the doctors as far as I'm concerned are just useless at giving the right information and approach to what's actually happening .. still stiff all on that side but pain level from the broken bone has drastically declined but I find myself caught out sometimes with shoulder blade pain when I'm out and about .. it can be a total nightmare .. I keep telling myself to just keep going because to be honest it's an awful situation to have to deal with especially if your anyway athletically inclined it's gonna be a major pull on your mental health .. best advice for that is to never give up .. your your own best believer and if your like me and you love a good fight this situation is a great one

Can anybody pls help me. It's been about three weeks and there's no sign of new bone or the fractured being healing. I'm scared of surgery 😞

Same thing with my fracture. Ortho dr said sling for 4 weeks followed by 8 weeks of physical therapy and bone would be healed. Physical therapist said the same thing. Back to ortho doc at 12 weeks . New X-ray. I was told it was not healed may take year or maybe never! I was stunned. I was 100% certain it would be healed at 12 weeks, not because I had any medical knowledge just based on what I was told and had perfect ROM. Why are we not told the truth? I’m at 5 months now , no pain but can’t lift anything heavy or use arm for weight bearing exercises. THEN it will hurt for a day or two. Never heal? Tell us!

Excellent video. First hand experience. Tyank you sir.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I broke my collarbone 3 weeks ago.

I got the surgery and plate 5 days after the break. A couple days of pain killers and antibiotics and I am healing fast. No pain and some pt and I will be good as new. Get the surgery fast and don’t screw around.

Just broke mine 4 houra ago, i wish i could just stand straight up and 😴

First two days was agonizing pain , 3rd day I ate some food started to get some strength back , 4th day I’m already driving , by the 5th day I’m already scheduling to go in to have surgery on my broken foot ‘ happy new years to me

You know what sucks ? Having a broken collarbone and broken foot . Fml

Can u tell me they didn't need to put it back in place just put sleeve on more or less sent me on my way am hoping it will do the 2 3weeks u said no bone sticking out wot do u reckon on that

Im sure mine now is only this 1st litte crack u showd made me feel much better thanks mate nowt sticking out

When I cracked mine a long time ago, I was at school and I fell on a rock and just sat there in pain until my friends noticed lol

Healing process is definitely not happy at all. I'm telling you, I broke my right clavicle after I got tossed down the rocky cliff (beside the road) after I loss control of my rear wheel from speeding down the hill at 70kph on a mtb. The first 6days took me 2hours just to get up after sleeping. The unimaginable pain that you have to indure during this early healing process is insanely painful.

Thanks for the info, exactly what i needed to hear. Very little real patient true experience info. Helped a ton.

Loved this. I broke my collarbone almost 7 weeks ago. Needed the painkillers for a month and a bit more. Have done a few rides on the stationary bike and today started some swimming with a board. Like other people I was not really told when you can start exercising and what exercises you can do . My new hero is Tyler Hamilton who broke his collarbone on the Tour-De-France got back on his bike and finished the stage. Phew impressive.🚴‍♂

Ha ha! Love it! Get a decent bass behind you and you got a hot Neil Young-esque hit, baby!! Love & cudos from Birmingham, Uk

They let me have surgery with no insurance... 2020. Always push for surgery if you want it and they’ll have to help you and just bill you

Been a week for me. Getting a shirt on and off is a pain in the arse.

I just broken mine on Sunday after crashing my bike.. I'm in agony!! Thanks for sharing your story.. Great advice 👍

Deep Relief has helped alot I'm on week 6. I pretty much have full mobility but can still feel pulling and discomfort if I do too much. I'm still exercising with NO weight. Broke mine falling up the stairs twice in a matter of a few hours😢

1 month in and no healing. Super tough. Mine was a car accident and considered a seatbelt injury. Thank you for the video.

Thanks for sharing info! Just broke it a week ago and its killing me still badly, wish I could be back in gym in couple months.

Great video. More helpful than my consultation 😁
