[bbletterin]

Wooo,somebody went to Home Dppot to get all that hardware. Sorry about what ever broke you up. My left ankle and lower leg has 8 screws and 3 pins frome missing a jump on a dirtbike,so I feel for ya. Colld weather is going to drive you crazy later, Good luck,^feel better!

Collar bone 3 ribs and severe concussion

Not bad, after it happened

Next day after taking a shower.I further broke it into 5 pieces.

Had to go back to the er after getting surgery for bleeding through for 2 twos straight

I still currently have 15-16 screws in me. Going back into surgery mid nov.

If you are asking cause you are thinking about breaking your collar bone i would avoid it. Very painful and frustrating, i really miss having a good nights sleep. Plus if you go through surgery you get the weird feeling of losing all feeling in your upper shoulder.

*** loki.... what did you do?

i put a 'star pattern crack at the bottom end of it after a bad snowboard land. they reckoned that if i gave it a knock that it would have just shattered and fall apart. looks like you had similiar... a whole heap of crazes and cracks. damn man that stick up looks harsh too. hope you recover soon mate.

agreed with the frustration. pissed me off more that i had to go to two hospitals to get them to operate. the first one sent me home. stated that the clavial is actually a non essencial bone and to just let it heal naturally. i exploded stating htat i was very active and wanted full movement back, and not like so many others who had limitations by bad form healing. asked why the likes of colin edwards etc can have a plate and be back in days. the response i got was... 'well youre not famous, rich or a sports star. tkae these, go home and rest.'

that was xmas eve. the next day i spent all day smashed on vodka and panadene forte, playing wii with the nephews and boxing day i was at another hospital. got it sorted and was back to full use in three weeks. took longer to get all strength back, but all good now. just some nights you cant lay on that side too long.

3 weeks, lucky man. I will be out for 3 months.

Did you not see my track day wreck thread? New tires broken in but i got to the very edge of the front tire and it wasnt broke in, slipped, caught, high sided. First bone ever broken and first surgery ever had. Also first track day, first knee drags, first ambulance ride, first morphine shot, lots of firsts that day! Fun time.

 

[twoguns]

man... day of firsts... gotta love that. makes a great story.

mine was my first break, but i have had stitches before.

man. wish you well with that. damn.

Damn Loki .. hope it's getting better.

Of all the times I've fallen off a BMX, dirtbike, streetbike, gone head over heals with a snowboard, never broken a bone before. Not even a sprained ankle or anything. Just cuts and pinky sized splinters.

 

[HMTRAN]

Sheesh, I don't feel so bad about mine no more. I don't have any pics since I go to the VA and they don't seem to have the time to print pictures for me. It's understandable though.

Here is mine from summer 2002. Wrecked on my downhill mountain bike.

 

[firefighter1c57]

I'd say football players rarely break their clavical, so something shrunk and patterned off of shoulder pads would probably save it... IDK how bulky it would end up being and still providing protection though.

 

[twoguns]

you would have to protect both from front on and the side hit on the shoulder. mine was a hard side hit to the shoulder, just made the clavical buckle under and snap.

 

[HMTRAN]

Same here, I just hit my shoulder dead on and my clavicle just gave out. I think you'd have to wear like a pad with a cross brace that goes from one shoulder to another. But that would be pretty ridiculous to wear I guess.

 

[Loki]

Yeah mine was from a highside onto my shoulder.

 

[dannenvance]

Yeesh. I just bought a Yamaha TTR-125 a couple of days ago for my son for xmas. I REALLY shouldn't have read this post.

Al I ever broke was my teeth from doing a bad wheelie by not wearing a helmet,it took several months to get my mouth back together, and I also broke my right little toe not too many years ago,nothing like some of the rest of you.
