I rolled my Raptor two weeks ago And it’s now day five of my collar bone reconstruction surgery I’m super bummed out hope I can recover fast man Hope you guys are doing well 🙏
First time I fractured mine in a moped accident. I was in a back brace for a whole month. The day after the doctor said I didn't need the brace anymore, I got pushed into a brick wall at school in such a way that it completely broke the same collarbone but this time into two pieces. The pain is indescribable. The feeling of helplessness from an injury like that is insurmountable. Especially when people just kept walking past me as I suffered with no inclination to get help. Being this was junior high, we all know how cruel kids can be. Took a little more than two months of healing before the pain and discomfort subsided and almost an entire year before I felt like it fully healed or fused together fully.
I’m so sorry to hear this and really hope you are doing well. I just broke my collar bone so I stumbled across your comment. Will be praying that kind of pain never happens to you again
For those wondering, into 4th month, allowed to ride motorcycles again, i train Muay Thai but still not allowed that for atleast 2months, but my surgeon did say i can start excercising
I fractured mine by riding my bike down a hill as fast as I could and a car popped out of nowhere and I hit the front of the car and went flying through the air and landed on the Asphalt. I declined ambulance, put my mangled bike to the side and walked home. It healed on its own over a few months but at times it hurt so bad I was screaming and crying. But she's good now. That was at 35 years old
Wow, this was EXACTLY what I wanted to hear at the end of the video regarding healing times. I'm 28, active, I broke mine 12 weeks ago from today during a bootcamp session and have just started returning back to my bootcamp classes this past week. But I am, like you say in the video, in that 2-3month bracket and taking it easy with the classes, substituting certain exercises such as burpees, and going on very light weights. Great to be back, but definitely cautious! Good to know about the 4-6 months until I can start "going crazy" around then, thanks a lot!
@un369 Yes it is pretty much back to 100% now and have been steadily increasing the weights I am using at my classes again - also back to doing full pushups and burpees too 🙂
@@bbldrizzy69god910 No surgery, I had the option to have it or not and decided not to. It's pretty much fine these days, can notice a slightly raised bump on the collarbone where it broke but that's about it, functionality wise it's fine
@@tyija1995May i know the position of your broken collarbone. Actually i have broke my collarbone last 5 week ago in lateral end side of the bone. Doctors suggest me to go under surgery. But i choose to go natural healing.
Broke my collarbone in 3 different places. Called a Z shape break / fracture. It’s been 4 days since surgery and god im battling through it. Your mentality and attitude are really what’s gonna carry you through this.
My wife who is 51 years old broke hers yesterday while snowmobiling. Hit a big pump going down a hill and it threw her right off. Horrible thing to watch happen. I was right behind her. Surgery tomorrow. Hopefully it all goes well. Doctor is saying she will need some hardware.
I broke mine about two years ago. It happened when I was lifting weights. I was hitting triceps with two dumbbells, pulling them down toward my back and back up over my head. Felt it pop, made a noise. Didn't hurt at first, figured I was okay and carried on. Big mistake. I was around 16 at the time. Now I'm 18 years old and struggling with this bearable but horrible pain. Believe me i wanted to get seen and get help, but circumstances prevented me and still are preventing me. Hopefully I'll get it checked out soon, the pain is mainly above the shoulder/ area where it popped out of place and occasionaly around my neck at that spot. Its only on my right side, which kinda makes it worse to know how bad it is compared to feeling normal on the left side of my clavicle. Anyone who's gotten an injury like mine, please tell someone who actually cares about your well being and can help you because I ignored it when i should have spoken up and now im paying for it.
Sounds like a ac joint separation not a color bone fracture and color bone won't get fractured in a bench press the ligament there will be partially or fully torn hence causing you pain
Broke my collarbone downhill mountainbiking, had to take painkillers the first two days, after that, everything was manageble. Showering was rough the first week, walking was painful without a sling the first two, by week three and onwards I had given up the sling completely, I was doing motion exercises, even climbing 40ft walls (all this happened during a semester on a sports school) My point being, don't let anyone tell you that you are doing too much, listen to your own body, the quickest and most certain response you will ever feel, are your own nerves. Now after 2 months i finally benched 110lbs again, 120lbs being my PB pre-injury.
I just found out I’ve been walking around with a broken clavicle for 5 months because I never go to the doctor . Now they might have to re break it so they can set it in the right position.
Broke mine during Brazilian jiu-jitsu sparring 3 weeks ago and I got my surgery 5 days ago. Getting used to the heaviness and sensation that I feel in the area. I feel sad that my movements are limited now especially being unable to carry stuff but I'm hopeful that it'll be healed soon and I can do things normally but no more Brazilian jiu-jitsu for me.
I'm 5 months and 18 days post-surgery. Although I'm still unable to raise my arm above shoulder level, it gets better. You get used to it and you become thankful for the little things. Indeed. Wishing a quick recovery! @@Ryan_1997
Thats crazy. Just broke mine grappling about 2.5 hours ago. Was no major pain at first when it happened just made a pop/noodle sound. I noticed the pain when I started moving it. When i got home and took my shirt off (definitely felt it) I looked in the mirror and seen a small bony lump on top of my shoulder. Went to the Dr and they said the same thing, about 4 months to heal. Just happy it's not a bad one. It'll heal on its own. 🥳
I broke mine wrestling in match against a boy felt it right away but then again im a wuss and hate pain. That happened last year and i still have discomfort and can no longer bench heavy as I used.
It took me about 8 months to regain full function of my arm and shoulder after my clavicle break. Your entire arm actually gets weaker because you aren't lifting weight the whole healing time I was also about 36 years old after age 35 your bones heal slower. Your bone doesn't fully harden for maybe a year it was still sore for a year.
Wow, I’m on week 4 after breaking my clavicle, scapula and glenoid. I’m not mentally prepared for such a long recovery. I had collarbone surgery 2 weeks ago. I’ve broken major bones before (pelvis) and was back to my sport in 4 months. This shoulder injury feels much worse. Worried about nerve damage and ligaments/tendon issues.
@@Tomzzzzzz you will probably have a better and faster recovery I didn't have surgery as my type of fracture didn't require it people who undergo surgery heal faster and the bone doesn't have a lump like in non surgical healing.
I recently fractured my collarbone due to a fall caused by my epilepsy I ended up going down to A&E for an X-Ray referred to the fracture clinic they confirmed via phone call. Now I'm in a sling for six-eight weeks.
I drive Motorcycle 8,5 weeks after the operation with titanium plate now. I also go to the gym again now, do 1/3rd - 1/4 of the normal weight on exercises that strain my collarbone, full power on the rest. No pain, nothing else. just still feels a little numb on a small point on the front of the Shoulder but its getting smaller and smaller
For everybody: if you are living in a country with good medical stuff, i deffinetly can tell you: DO SURGERY. its so relaxing. After the operation you only have the pain of the scar, not of the collarbone anymore. After 2-4 weeks you can do normal stuff and carry bags, just dont lift heavy at all. After 6-8 weeks you can start to do sports, drive, etc. After 8 weeks + you can start to do VERY CAREFULL excercises. BE CAREFULL. Its not worth breaking it again just to be able to lift 2-4 weeks earlier
He is absolutely right I broke my collar bone when I was 15 it was a crack and now I broke it again after 18 years now the fracture of the bone is on top of each other
I broke my collarbone 5 days ago in bike skid and my doctor said there is no need of surgery, it can heal itself and u will be okay within 4-6weeks...so can i get a reply by a person who recovered naturally without surgery please???😥
How’s your recovery? I fractured mine mid shaft 4 days ago. No surgery needed. The muscle pain I’m getting from the sling is worse than the break, it’s insane and annoying. I just wanna be outta this sling already lol
Broke mine 3 months ago. No surgery needed, however recent X-Rays say it might not have healed too well. My mobility is at about 85% percent with mild pain. Strength is at about 70%. Hoping it will get better and that I don’t need to have a surgery done . Goodluck man, I think in most cases after 3 months you should be pretty much good as new👍
@@Jordanbryshun97I broke mine 4 weeks ago. Recent xray shows that it's a malunion.Doc strongly suggests using shoulder braces for 2 more weeks. I've regained 10-20% of my motion with little to no exercise in past 4weeks l but the muscle cramps and spasms kills me everytime.Hoping for the best.Will continue to rest and use shoulder+clavicle braces for 3 more weeks as only callus formation is triggered on week 4 and hardening would take 6-8 weeks for 22-26 age group 8-10 weeks for 26-30 age group 10+ for 30+
@@traversecoorg4605 hope you have a speedy recovery. I was out of my sling in 3 weeks. Got sick of it. I hammered supplements and vitamins. Broke it Sept 18th and was playing hockey before October ended. Not bad for being 26. Only needed two physio sessions, my range of motion was good even after only 4 weeks from date of fracture. Feel no pain or issues now at all
Post operation physically 8-10 months but count possible nerve damage to , trust me I took the surgery 🎉but even though it my feel better u definitely take the full time to heal there no way around it , if you are into sports and it don't puncture anything then let it heal natural, don't take the surgery
Please can I still box if I had a surgery for it because it's seems mine won't heal on it own. Although my clavicle wasn't broken just had a dislocated on the joint of the clavicle and it's been a year now because of it I couldn't do upper body strength and conditioning training and I couldn't throw a punch because I used to have a tremendous power in my hands but nothing hurt than seeing myself declining because of an injury my question is can I still do spoil after the surgery
I had surgery about a week ago. I’m still having some discomfort like when it was broken. Do you think this is normal? I’m worried that the little movement that I’ve been doing messed up the fixation, but I could be wrong.
This is what I wrote....but it didn't put it on here! I broke my Clavicle ~22 years ago. But the Dr(s) decided to let it heal on it's own....so now it's healed around tendons & vains. But it's only been these last few years that I have pain when I throw a ball, climb a fence. & it feels like it's broken again! Let's see if this gets saved!?😡
This my third week ! I wish I could walk …. 😢 I broke a part of my sacrum/ tailbone and got my pelvis dislocated in a bad car accident doc say I shouldn’t return to work until 6 ‘months … that’s too long to start moving around … I also can’t wait for this fixator to come off me
Had surgical repair in August, Felt great so I resumed upper body weightlifting and noticed strange pain reminiscent of my original fracture, Not sure if the plate/screws are messing with the bone when I'm doing bench press. Feels like the bone wants to flex and is halted by the screws and - idk maybe it's totally normal but just want to know what other people have experienced and how I should feel about this. Prior to my chest workout I did many shoulder/chest exercises with half the weight and had no issues whatsoever
I broke my left-side collarbone in 2010 while I was about 14. It was right in the middle and considered malunion. I was taken to the ER and they recommended me to just use a sling. I regret it not having surgery. At the time, my family was not in the best spot financially, but if I knew the amount of constant pain I have to endure thru the left side of my neck, near my scapula, my traps, and even right under my collarbone. It has been 14 years later and I'm hoping that corrective surgery is still a possibility for me. I would love to go thru my day without constantly adjusting my neck, my back and those areas I've described. On top of that, it's a structural problem. Meaning, it is hard to maintain good posture throughout the day since my left shoulder naturally wants to droop forward due to my collarbone. Sleep is even starting to become a problem. I mean, the body is all connected. If the body suffers something that causes a postural problem, why don't they recommend more surgeries? To be fair, I am still functional. I am able to perform 23 pull-ups, rock climb, and still maintain my agility and athleticism. However, this constant pain is more like a constant mental stressor. Can anyone else relate?? Did any of you get corrective surgery years later? If so, did it make it better? I've gone to physical therapy. Strengthening muscles will only help so much when my structure is working against me.
Well, I'll give you my experience. I had a motorcycle accident and I busted my collarbone. I'm 27 and it was my first broken broken bone in my life. I was kinda worried about the healing process and I was correct. It was a real pain and it was always hard to sleep on the side that I broke it. My neck and my back started hurting real bad.... I was also told to just let it heal on it's own cause the surgery itself is already painful and after 6 months they need to operate again. So there was more risk cause you'll definitely look better esthetically but your shoulder isn't going to be 100% you'll still have pain issues. Before my incident I was planning on going to the gym the very next day and I had to postpone it. At the 2 month mark I told my personal trainer what I was dealing with and he recommended anabolic steroids, testosterone to be exact. Now, I'm no doctor but I took his advice and within the first month all my pain was gone. I was so shocked to see not only see myself in the best shape of my life but absolutely no shoulder pain. I don't know if it'll work for you, but crap if you're desperate to fix the pain. I would try it, it worked for me.
@@toasttea32 no surgery boss. My shoulder looks a little funny but I'm buff now so it doesn't even matter. It's more of a war story now. Never in my live did I think I was going to take steroids in order to fix my shoulder and it did miracles. There are studies about how steroids do help with recovery but I would leave that up to you before I end up telling you to try them.
@@toasttea32 What I was told is that If I only need it to look okay because esthetics, then yeah absolutely do it. But once you get the surgery, keep ik mind that they're going to have to open you back up 6 months later to take out the poles. Basically I was told the healing process was going to be long and painful and it wasn't even guaranteed that the pain would go away, only that it would look better.
@@danielescobar9764 hmm, okay so no surgery. So I’m curious about the context of your collarbone: 1.) How long has it been since you had broken your collarbone? 2.) Malunion or nonmalunion fracture 3.) If malunion, what was the distance in separation?
Just broke my collar bone 13 days out from my debut Muay Thai fight. I empathise with all those athletes who’ve got to cancel big plans from this shitty injury
I fractured mine 7 weeks ago. One week ago I thought I was completely fine and then went back to riding and had a crash and now I've completely broken mine.
1 month after surgery with titanium plate I can feel the plate inside me and strength is around 30% of original Very bad time U need one more operation if u wana remove that plate and Extra 4_5 months healing time after plate removal And total procedure take around 2 years
My sis stepped on her own right foot, it fractured her right clavicle..there's been so much pain n loss of muscle.. wondering if she'll even recover. April end to noe July end
Just Watched this Video. I Broke Mine back in April. Crashed While Riding My Quad. 5 Broken Ribs, and A Punctured Lung as well. I was 58 yrs. old at that time. Mine Required Surgery, because the two bones were so far apart. I was out of work for 3 months. today Dec. 31 2023 it's been a little over 8 months, and things are as they were before, like nothing even happened. I was back to no Restrictions at work after 6 months. Speedy Recovery to Anyone Going Through this. Happy New Year!

@@PremAnnadurai Yes, all Good after 8 months. I Lift 100Lbs. at my job, 5 days a week, I'm back to doing what I did before the Accident. I Hope that Everyone that goes Through this, Has Great Results Like I did!
Crashed my harley about 3 weeks ago aswell. Suffering from not being able to ride since I have a fracture AND i have to fix my bike. We’ll pull through this though. A year from now we’ll look back at these comments and laugh. Stay safe and ride responsibly (;
@@nikkiharvey7887 i mean all i can say is go for it....i was a lil hesitant initially...2 days after surgery were brutal...but after that pain went away....within 1 week there will be no pain ... and at most 3 weeks u will not even feel anything happened.........its been 2 months since my surgery and the only thing that can tell about the surgery is a big ass scar.....the doc was so god with the operation i feel like nothing happened ..i feel that good........so hopefully everything goes well with you too 🙏 good luck
@@digoantonioli594 it was a z fracture...they put plate on and drilled 6 screws....i slept face up like normal...count move for atleast 2 weeks.....yeah i know initial pain is so bad....but that should not last more than a week maximum ...whithin like 3 weeks or a month...you'll be back to normal....my surgery was on 2nd December last year....and i started weight training once again just after 1 month that is on from 7th jan...i m much better and stronger now
When I was cleared to take my figure 8 and splint off I wanted to played so bad since I could walk normal and was fine but I had to wait another month and was so mad
I shattered my collarbone on 2021 during a mountain bike ride. The bone recovered but man do the surgical scar feel weird. It's numb, kinda itchy(no infection, mind you) and can be sensitive. I talked with someone about this and said it's nerve damage from the surgery.
What do u mean brother? I also broke my clavicle from my Enduro bike last Friday but they've been put me on surgery that day and fixed my broken bone. So you saying that even though it will healed still have a negative effects?
Its important to massage scar tissue to desensitize it. Massage it lightly with your fingers, and in a diverse set of ways. Tap it, rub a towel against it, do different things! The more diverse and consistent, the less sensitive it will be with time. And it's never too late!
broke mine playing vrchat (i fell from my bed lol), had my surgery last week. They blocked one of my nerves and i dont feel any pain, but i cant move my right arm
