Hello,
I broke my clavicle three days ago. The
doctor at the ER said that a surgery is
definitely an option but not a medical
necessity. He kept this vague line as he
explained some more details but he
wouldn't give a buttom line suggestion.
I read everything I could find online
about this kind of injury and the
potential operation but i'm still at a
loss.
I would very much appriciate any advice or
opinion regarding my situation.
Here are my x-rays:

Hi, I am a Physical Therapist and my
husband sustained the same injury as you
did. Since it was a month ago, you should
be feeling better by now. I would
recommend that you get Physical Therapy
for proper healing. My husband actually
didn't and now he wishes that he did. He
says that his shoulder is not really in
"pain" but it "doesnt feel right, not like
the other". You will heal, and the pain
does go away. You MUST keep your arm
immobile....DONT MOVE IT. The more you
move it, the longer the healng
process....it's like oicking a scab. Good
luck.
