[@petermarshall8750]

Mine is cracking a lot as well how did your healing go

[@telcobilly]

Let me put this out there for anyone who may have experienced this. I fell out of my semi truck last Friday because the mechanic had the steps off and he didn't tell me. I fell from approximately 6 ft onto a hard flat concrete surface. I landed on my left shoulder and towards my left chest where the left clavicle is. It hurt like hell but I was able to leave the yard and make a delivery 700 mi away with some pain but not completely debilitating. I finished my delivery on Sunday two days later and it was really starting to hurt and I could hear the arm ball popping. I felt with my fingers the length of the clavicle and could detect no break or misalignment. Last night I took a shower and really looked at myself in the mirror comparing both sides and I can see no difference as far as swelling, misalignment or lumpiness. Today on Monday when I woke up it was hurting really bad but the popping of the arm joint has reduced. Is it possible I loosened it up and while it's healing it's starting to restore itself? I am going to go to the doctor but right now I'm stuck at a truck stop and barely able to get out of bed and I don't know anybody up here in SLC. So basically after that long background, my question is, could I have bruised it and it's going to heal up without actually being broken? I'm not asking for a diagnosis, I'm just wondering if anybody else has had a similar experience?

[@teresapetersen1690]

I also fell out of semi while missing the step & landed on my left shoulder . It took a good year to get beck to normal. I did everything with my right arm , closing trailer doors , cranking landing gear hopping up in tractor . Years later I actually broke my left collarbone . Still healing . Range of motion still not what it used to be . I’m glad that I was no longer driving semi when I broke my collarbone because I would have been out of work for too long .

[@telcobilly]

@@teresapetersen1690 It was a broken clavicle with the fracture being at an acute angle. This caused it to take longer to heal. Even used a bone growth stimulator (no jokes! Lol ) I'm healed up now 2 years later and retired in the Philippines. It really was a blessing in disguise. I got to spend a year in Texas with my family on workman's comp and SS.

I broke my collarbone 3 years ago because I got hit by a car on my way home from school and whenever I put my arm high or try scratching my back I dislocate it so I’m hoping I can get help from this because I used to love playing basketball but now I’m too scared to try to even lift it

[@PhilipJosephMadarang]

How are you now bro?

[@Mackensierobinson]

Body builder here broke my collarbone in July was in the sling for 6 weeks been out of training since it is now September dr cleared me for lifting 5lbs and no more but my question is how long will ut take me to be ok to safely lift heavy I used to deadlift upwards of 150 lbs but I’m fearful of reinjury

[@jcgtv3692]

i’m 63, had surgery 3 weeks ago collarbone, broken in 3 pieces,.. i have had my arm in a sling 90% of the time. when can i start these exercises? doctor said i may or may not need PT … which surprised me.

[@jocelynecomeau6572]

I am 65 Ive had my surgery and it hurts like hell i cant lift my arm without using my other arm

[@PhilipJosephMadarang]

Hey I noticed that you had collarbone surgery, I’ve been thinking about getting it. Would you mind if I ask if it’s easy to get used to the numbness after the surgery?

[@trintube68]

Can you please send the link for the brace that keeps you up straight in your posture? I don't want to heal hunched. Thx.

[@luckyladybird3767]

I just broke mine Saturday and would like information on the brace.

I fell off my supersport motorbike today after it whipped out under me n kicked me over the handle bars, did a lil front flip n landed on the back of my left shoulder n snapped my collar bone clean in half just before the little crease on the inner shoulder, it's slightly bulged out, would it heal back to its natural shape or will it forever be like this?¿

Hello I have a comminuted fracture on my RH clavicle and I'm a lefty. My clavicle is in four separate pieces two large and two small pieces in the middle. The consultants all agreed it would benefit from surgery. Unfortunately they won't do surgery for me as I don't consent to doing a PCR test. Im 40yrs old a non smoker and a L3 rope tech / Arborist, I'm now three weeks in and the bone from my chest is pointing upwards and from the middle to the shoulder there is a dip. I'm able to move it around now plus raise above my head. Could I please have some sound advice and I would be more than happy to answer any questions thank you. Roman

Surgery for me on Nov. 21. Life tip: Don't go flying off a moving motorcycle and land on your shoulder. It really hurts - a lot.

[@kennethwjjones]

Exactly what I did yesterday! Broken collarbone as a result. Get well soon.

[@ibrahimfarrukh7992]

Same.

[@NajLahsen]

I know it sucks but at least you're alive. Most ppl don't live to tell their story and warn others. I broke my clavicle and have other multiple injuries in car crash but I'm just glad I'm alive.

@@NajLahsen Sorry to hear that. Get better soon.

Exactly same. Was slowing down from over 100 mph and too much front brake. Hate living with this broken collarbone

Hi there, Bob& brad, I got my left collarbone fractured 8 years ago, wats ur suggestion to make it normal & build physique

[@jasonli5398]

I broke my left one 2 weeks ago(car crash), underwent surgery using hook plate. Now I feel like my ac joint is dislocated with every active movement from my left arm. I can hear and feel the bone moving. I hope I can go back to bodybuilding one day. But right now I feel like it's a far stretch.

[@begmergn]

My right clavicle is pseudoartrotic congenital fracture. I have pain when I lie on my problematic side and when I lift something heavy. especially in the anterior region of the shoulder. Is There any kind of physical rehabilitation therapy that you could suggest me? Can someone with such a condition contact me ?

[@sadiejohnson272]

I broke mine less than 24 hours ago and it is the most painful thing I've ever felt. And I've broken other bones

[@elnor2078]

You're the best!

[@ML-bu3lz]

mine broke in 4 places. each bit separated completely and one bit lodged in my nerve. the pain was worse than anything I've ever experienced. surgery in two days....

[@chombas]

I fractured my clavicle 3 months, 1 week ago. I had a surgery 2 months, 2 weeks ago. I have been doing physiotherapy but I still can't lift my arm, it is very stiff on the joint. It is really frustrating as I exercise my shoulder every day.

[@balancedsimplifiedfitness1941]

I'm so sorry for repeating the question but it's extremely important for me, I have this debate between me and my professor tomorrow. So again my question was "Is rotational movements exercises (circles) bad for your joints?".

[@mountfairweather]

No

[@celebrationtreeyoga3898]

Not if the joint you are working on is designed to move that way.! If you do not use the joints in their full ROM, you could lose the ability to move in that particular direction and some of the muscles could become very weak, causing pain and stiffness.

Thank you for your answer!

What kind of orthopedic doctor should I go to for A fractured clavicle? The doctor recommends the sling needed and the required rehab, I am assuming?

[@lisao8161]

I can SOOOOO relate...only I injured my right side over a year ago and I'm still trying to get full range motion in my right arm. I injured by left one about 5 years ago and I was more diligent with the therapy but it was less painful than this one. Thank you for the tips to gain mobility gentlemen.....great advice and I, too, hope to get my muscles at least operating in full motion.
