[akaMyTvAdiction]

@rvrmouse for a while. Mine is still sticking out after 1 year but it has gone down a lot

[akaMyTvAdiction]

@rvrmouse had the same thing no surgery was in a sling for 2 months and healed but the bone will stay sticking out h

[akaMyTvAdiction]

@nnnarwkkk probably but you will want to go to a doctor for a xray to a doctor to

[dadaiztbst12]

[SmackinSparta]

[PWHIPisabeast]

Just broke mine yeaterday its a really painfull thing to deal with

[soccerbreakdancer4]

seeing that when you break your collarbone, you cant lift your arm more than a few inches... awk

[shapman87]

@gabe54125

[gabe54125]

[mrmainerr]

[herlynrehal]

It's almost 2 years i had the same collar bone injury though in road accident .. my rgt arm still pains and also have an increasing pain flow towards my back neck and head . . . . taking medicines but no relief :( PLEASE ADVICE ASAP

Thank you

[Nnnarekkk]

I tried a diving kong and fell on my shoulder really hard on asphalt and now I can't lift my arm up is my collar bone broken?

[COLONELcole]

i broke my collarbone 5 weeks ago now, i feel perfectly fine, but its still week, she has told me the exact same thing my doctor has actually. It surprisingly didnt hurt too bad, it just felt as if my arm was dead, and useless, hung down lower than the other, luckily after a class of it hurting ( broke it at lunch time) i figured i better go to the hospital, since the crunch it made was so loud. Turns out, its broken pretty damn bad, lol. Thanks for this vid, saves alot of doctor trips.

[1MarquisATorres]

idk if i broke my collar bone or tore something but it cracks to damn much lol and it feelz like bones grinding against each other top middle of my chest near the neck. feel it more in the collar joints bottom of my neck! lmao ive been stretching and idk how to cure this annoying cracking/grinding feeling problem!

[rvrmouse]

I broke my left clavicle on a mt bike. it shattered where it broke and got displaced. Doctors gave me a sling w/ a 8 strap and said no surgery needed but my bone looks messed up. It looks like it will pop right trough my skin. You can see the rigid bone outline and it's botheringgg me. did anyone have this? Surgery or not?

[Equinoxx1337]

@rvrmouse I have the same thing, I broke my clavicle 8 weeks ago. Just sat around and let it heal by itself. My bone is now massive and looks like its gonna pop though my skin like you said. My main concern is it breaking more easily now since the bone is sticking out. After 8 weeks I have full movement and some good strength but still some slight aches.

[rvrmouse]

@Equinoxx1337 Im just letting it heal on its own also. You can get the sharp bone tip shaved off. thats the doc told me. I asked docs if it will be easier to break the clavicle and he said if it heals bone to bone then it will be strong. but if the bone is overlapped it will be a bit weaker. Man im just as worried. Now that ive broke my clavicle it seems like its so easy to break! lol. Hopefully i never break another bone. Gotta becareful out there. but Cant wait to go biking again! miss my bike

[SireHD]

@Equinoxx1337 I broke my clavicle 2 weeks ago...the doctor gave a 8 strap and now it's almost healed. I started doing these exercises a couple of days ago and it works ok...just don't force the movement. my doctor told me that the heald bone will be even stronger than before because of it's new thickness. I must say that I just sat down on my back during the first week and rest.

[pary16]

@kalebvickers09 well im going to the doc tomorrow

and i said weeks not days (im a teen) im sure shes just trying to help but i was planning to ask my doc anyways

[poninonis]

shes very ernest. :D 

[tysonoboyoboy]

I don't know why, but I like the way she talks....

[xstr33tr4cerx]

ok so i was tail gating my buddies car and i broke my collar bone as i tried rolling to avoid damage i landed going about 30 mph. is this work out for when the bone is still detatched partially attached or fully reattached? this is my 6th day since i broke just for reference.

[tikroner]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING

[Life4Blackberry]

ive broken my collar bone 6 times

[dirtbikefreakx]

@Bagel227 same i was bmxing today and this happend

[Bagel227]

@dirtbikefreakx yeah! sucks right? i want to ride soo bad but i cant. i broke mine 11 days ago. luckily, its healing really fast!

[METALxNIPPLEZ]

@dirtbikefreakx me to but i did front filp and im 13 year old

[TehReedRacer99]

why am i watching this i've never broken a bone

[danman8585]

@TehReedRacer99 cause u havent done anything crazy enough

[kalebvickers09]

@TehReedRacer99 I have a broken collar bone, I flipped a crotch rocket and it vaulted me hard onto that shoulder into the pavement, u DON"T WANT THIS...the first thing that happens is start sweating (extreme pain at this point) and you start feeling like you're going to pass out, (u see everything in almost a white-out)...it's very nasty and the best thing to do until you can get medical treatment is keep it relaxed while still supported so that the bone itself isn't poking up. AC was my friend

[CrawlaDan]

@kalebvickers09 that is exactly what happened to me.

[denmarkaksel]

@TehReedRacer99 sometimes its good too know what too do

[eramireziii]

@TehReedRacer99 you hevent lived!

[crapheadalex]

i just had surgery last week. the first 3 days are deaaath man. lol. 

[fataustinpowers]

i broke mine 3 and half years ago along with surgery and like wwe superstar edge i also got spinal fusion surgery b/c after i pulled from the whole shot i was in first and fell in the woops and got hit by 10-15 people. all i could say was ow and is this normal. and the pain continues to this day, but next weekend i'm getting X-Rays and an MRI to make sure i didn't rebreak from gym falls etc

[iiAmGoonerHaz]

[MrCoolioChris]

[clone9907]

[bennyboyHD]

@clone9907 mine is too only i went over the bars on my bike

[clone9907]

@bennyboyHD i kinda broke it in a stupid way, but 9i can move it now

[leanne1801000]

I broke mine 8 months ago and STILL have a lump! :/ then again I did break it twice in a week so that probs didnt help matters!

[posternaut]

I fractured mine riding my dirtbike. How long will this lump be here, its been a month.

[Tha1337king]

Guys, i have never had any pain in my collar bone (to my recall), but when i move my shoulder forward, kinda flexing it, i see a lump where my collar bone is. I found out that's how a broken collar bone looks like. I can benchpress and do pushups easily w/o any pain. What the hell is the lump then?

[MrPrimoTurismo]

@PRJ355 so its 7 months or so since you commented, i just broke my collarbone or clavicle or whatever i think its the same and anyways its been a week. i was just wondering how yours healed? did you have a operation? did it grow back well? or is there a noticable overlaping? reply will be greatly apprecated cheers thax.

[PRJ355]

@MrPrimoTurismo it took about 2 months to fully heal like no pain at all,nd i could raise my arm in the air, the mental healin sucks :/ i did not want to skate or do anything that could potentially injure me, im still like a little bit scared of falling but its not bad at all. i didnt get operated and ther is notcible overlaping i have this bump nd its like my bone popping out ha,its noticible in a way that you can feel it but not see it,nd it hurts every now nd then but just a very mild pain.

[MrPrimoTurismo]

@PRJ355 Thank you very much, one last question i have is how long did you ware the sling or 8 brace? =L

[PRJ355]

@MrPrimoTurismo no pronlem man, uhh actually i say about a month and then you can take it off but it may still hurt, i say leave at long as you think is appropriate, but make sure to air your pit out haha

[MrPrimoTurismo]

@PRJ355 lol i know what ya mean haha it get pretty rotten there after a while hahaha. lol i know i said one last question but i have so many lol sorry to keep asking but i was wondering has the side of where you broke it got weaker like does it hurt if you lift somthing heavy? thax thax thax.

[PRJ355]

@MrPrimoTurismo dude its no problem ask all you want i don't mind ha, uhh it actually got stronger but every now and then you can hear it moving and it hurts but like its a very small sting sort of, but in the first few days/weeks of having the brace off , yes it is weak

[wintherkill]

i broke my on a bike about four days ago

[kronicoutbreak]

i got in a fight 2 days ago and the basterd pushed me into a AC central air unit and broke mine but i broke his nose so its about even

[argmostwanted]

nice tips!!!! i will have to try this later on, i broke my left clavicle 2 days ago

[slash3rr]

I didnt broke it. But my collarbone pops out when i go over 50degrees upward. I want to stop that by training the muscles.

Can i do it witout the bands. With weights or maybe i can go to the gym where they have weights with bands attached to them and choose the lightest weight? Would this help for the muslces? Or are they to weak for that.

[F0xyMGP]

hello

[formidablepower]

I broke mine last aug 2009 still broke now nearly been a year had a metal plate put in it as I broke it in 4 places might have to have a bone graft but I stop smoking now so hopefully when I go back it would of healed more. then I might have to have the plate taken out yet aswell as the screws are pushing out of the skin so if you dont need op dont have it

[Barraki148]

Lol I got tackled by a grade 12er and its been 6 agonizing months, and its still broken XD

[slash3rr]

never broke it, i was born with a collarbone that pops out just under the trouth when i hold my arm up. And pops in again when i hold my arm down. I found out few years back and am trying to find some exercises to lessen the popping. (it doesnt hurt though)

[defaultname123]

[jbrunson88]

I broke mine on April 19th 2008. I was playing football at the park without pads and decided to tackle a guy (who was bigger than me) with my shoulder. I knocked him off balance, and i fell to the ground. The doctor gave me crap cuz he thought i was a foolish pothead (4/20, ha ha -.-). About a week and a half into healing, i broke it again when i slipped in the shower and caught myself on my bad shoulder and broke it completely. no i have a lump. ^_^

[locotelos]

Hey i broke my collar bone when i popped a wheelie in my bike. is it true that when you break your collar bone it will become stronger when it heals? thats what the orthopedic doctor told me? Can i start working out again? i broke my collar bone on may

[lileric911]

is it true if you brake or fracture your collar bone, will it become stronger then then before??

wondering cause i fractured my collar bone like 9 months ago

[badmanbrandond]

i broke mine yesterday in a bmx accident

[kamoplads]

brok my left clavicle in july, just read about the adverse effects of nicotine to the healing process and no one ever told me about it, even my doctors! just read about it while browsing the web yesterday. my xray from september shows healing though but i might have to get a 2nd opinion, wouldn't wanna end up with a nonunion.

[quawnlao]

I broke my left collar bone when playing my first football game....this happened around 2 weeks ago..still recovering

Oh yeah ima be out for he whole season lol

[lakairunner21]

i broke right side in a skateboarding accident

[Reavoltion]

thanks, i will try this :)

[Magicgauger]

I'm in the recovery stage myself. Left-side broke in a cycling fall. I was wondering what would be a safe exercise to help get the strength back slowly. Thank you for posting this vid.

[radiostarcountry]

was it painfull when it happened ?

[tbskate1111]

no it tickles :p

[winniethepooh1234567]

haha

[winniethepooh1234567]

yeahh it always hurts and wen i broke mine i had to get up (wich took me like 10 min) and ski the rest of the way down

[Magicgauger]

@radiostarcountry Yes, it hurt when it happened. At first it was really scary because I looked down at my shoulder and it was mis-shaped! It was really painful, sore and immobile for weeks. It is pretty much gone now. My upper arm and shoulder are still a tiny bit numb sometimes. I elected to have the surgery done, but I still have a little lump and I'm not sure it was worth it...turned out to be more painful after the surgery, and I don't think I ended up with a much better result. Oh well.

[WeWillNotRockYou1]

@Magicgauger Lol I broke my collar bone yesterday i was playing rugby with my friend and he tackled me i landed on my side and he landed on me :(

Trouble is....When my friend phone my house phone nobody was in so i had to walk 30 mins home..But it is pretty scary when it happens...I thought it was stiff or something so i tried to pop it....Glad i didnt....
