Anyone ever broken their collarbone?

Not personally, my 3 year old son did. Healed up in a matter of months, no surgery.

I broke my right clavicle in a dirtbike crash about 6 years ago. It changed my life. I haven't been the same since. I had to have surgery almost a year after the initial break because it didn't heal properly. The surgery put me down. It still hurts every morning when I wake up, and cold weather makes it ache. It slowed me down a lot.

I tried a lot of different things for the pain, including medicinal marijuana. Physical therapy and exercise help the most, but often i work it too hard and it will hurt for weeks.

I take advil PM almost every night so I can sleep. Otherwise I toss and turn from the aching. I feel like it added 10 years to my life.

Sounds like any other injury in the sense that some move on quick, and some will have issues. I hope I'm one of the easy ones! Thanks for the replies.

Never have, that would suck

Nice work op

Broke mine years ago...it hurt lol
Took a fee months before all was good

mine snapped in grade 6, take care of it and do physio if its an option.
mine healed with a bow in it and it can be very aggravating with weather, sleeping posture, even putting on clothing

I am reading similar stories to my experience. I broke mine while stationed at Ft Bragg, had an argument with the ground and I lost. Broke the collarbone in 4 different pieces and had surgery to put in a pin. Broken pieces were about the size if large dice, drilled holes and slid them on a special pin screw( wood thread on down side, machine thread on the other for a jamb nut for removal). About 2 weeks after surgery I developed hypersensitivity to my skin around the collar bone, hurt to wear a tshirt for about a year, constant pins and needles feeling in the right thumb and index finger for a few years.
With age comes a cage, I don't ride or race dirt bikes anymore. all racing is now caged. I still ride street bikes, but no rockets. I don't really jump out of planes anymore either, although I miss the view on civilian jumpsthat are at 13000 ft
There is a nerve that sits right under the collar bone that sometimes get pissed during healing, calcium deposits pushing against it causing problems. I hope that doesn't happen to you, it SUCKS.
