Clavicle Error - Broken Collarbone

^
yes! move move move! i think i'll need to give my shoulder a full week of physio, hours a day, to get the mobility back. compensation hides it in everyday life. even doing advanced dynamic yoga you don't test your full range of movement.

all this is based upon my own experience only. i am only so vocal because of the huge discrepance between what the doctor's and even physio's advice was and what i was capable of. i probably was reckless and risked my proper recovery but i made the decision to press ahead as my mental health was really suffering.

the clock resets when you have surgery.
dude it sounds like you're fit and healthy so push the doctor's advice. listen to your body. pain = bad, discomfort = good (unless you feel it in the bone).

on exactly 3 weeks i was on a town bike. after 4 weeks back doing yoga. that's two months ahead of their earliest alllowance i think. i was lucky to have a decent surgeon. don't just start doing push ups. if you're in the sling still, get out of it. i had a complication from lack of mobility! hate to think how bad it would have been if i'd have stuck to their timetable.

it sounds like you're mood is starting to suffer, be mindful of that and perhaps try and use it as motivation to speed up the recovery.

my surgery was july 1st. i had 2 follow ups with the surgeon http://www.stamfordhospital.org/Find-a-Doctor/Doctor-Bio.aspx?Id=2981 i've asked her both sessions if i will be starting pt anytime soon, and she said not until my follow up x-ray in a few weeks. ive been out of work since the bike accident. i havent even been to the gym for my legs. i really want to move again but i want to do this right.

going to read through this thread now. long story short. broke my clavicle late june. had surg because the gap was to big for it to heal on its own. have some hardware and a plate holding it together. problem is, i feel like im ready to start some sort of physical therapy. my doctor has only issued me three exercises to do each day but still havent recieved a follow up x-ray or actual physical therapy. so i sit here most days, lose motivation, knees are hurting now from how immobile ive been.

edit* next appointment is in 2 weeks. the wait is too long.
