surgery or au naturel? Other options? Regrets? Recurring pain?

Mine's a clean break right in the middle. Gonna go see the ortho on Monday.

listen to your doc... chances are anyone on here who has broken their clavy will not have done it in the same way you have. Good luck to you, and hope you heal fast.

Yeah definitely do what the doc says... when I broke mine the bones were "overlapped" so the doc said I could just let it heal like that and it would be fine, just one of my collarbones would be a little shorter and I would have a bump there. Or I could get surgery, which would have been a much longer and more painful healing period, but my collarbones would be the same length. He recommended I just let it heal, so now I have a bump and I can't play golf :p
