Clavicle havoc...le...

[smilingcat]

Hi,

I've shattered both clavicle. Right side was in three big pieces and smaller ones. Left was shattered in separate crash and that one snapped into only two pieces.

In both cases, the doctors advised against it saying that the surgery will risk further nerve damage and it was best to leave it alone and let it heal on its own.

I had a sharp point on the bone. The doctor did say that over time the sharp point will disappear and will be just a bump. Apparently, the bone can re-sculpt on its own. Add extra bone here and removing excess from there. The sharp point was really bother some for about a year as it happened to be right under the bra strap.

Both times I was fitted with a figure 8 brace of sort. It was uncomfortable. Still it was lot better than not having it on.

Be patient, take one day at a time.

Sending you healing thoughts,
