[QUOTE="Sirhc7897, post: 12455316, member: 10294"] I had a ATV accident a few years back and broke my right clavicle (turned it to dust...didn't even show up on the X-ray)... I had to have surgery. They put in a cadavers clavicle and held it all together with a titanium plate and a ton of set screws (my post X-ray looks like somebody left a comb where my clavicle used to be). This was my experience (was 28-29 at the time): I broke it on a saturday and was in for surgery the following Wednesday (thought I was going to have to have emergency surgery because there were fragments everywhere and they were worried I might puncture a lung). The night after the surgery was extremely painful but did ease up a little as the days went on. The worst thing for me was that I had to sleep sitting up for several months (which was absolutely miserable). After a month they took me out of the sling (regular sling not one of those figure 8 things) and let me have minimal movement but no weight and I couldn't raise my arm. After about 6 months they cleared me for normal activity but I still couldn't sleep any way but sitting up or flat on my back as it was extremely painful to put any pressure on my right shoulder (laying on side or back). It took me the better part of a year before I could sleep normal and do anything even remotely close to what I considered normal. After about a year it was pretty well good but if i hit it with something (like resting a rake, baseball bat, rifle, etc. on that shoulder to carry it) I would have this intense pain as it was hyper sensitive. Was almost 2 years before I was able to get back in a gym and initially that hurt like hell (was in a ice pack every night). It's been almost 4 years now and i don't even notice it anymore. Recovery from that was hell though. Most painful thing I've ever experienced (and I've been through numerous knee surgeries, a shattered foot, and other repairs from enough moments of young stupidity that I'm challenging Lee Majors for the bionic man title)... PM me if you want with any specifics questions and I'll be happy to try to offer you any pointers I can think of that helped me through it. It was a very depressing phase in my life (the lack of sleep and inability to be active was pretty tough). Hopefully your experience will be nowhere near as bad as mine... [/QUOTE]
