Six weeks? When I dislocated mine a couple of years ago, I was signed off work for four weeks and was not allowed to drive or cycle during that time, but was given some simple exercises to do and told I could use my turbo, which I did every other day.
At the end of four weeks I had full movement of my arm, it was a bit uncomfortable but nothing more, I was then told I could have surgery but it was not the preferred option, and that I could just carry on and do everything I previously had done, so I have.

Sorry to hear this. I'm at the other end of the tunnel and was discharged from physio on Wednesday. She has done all she can and the rest is down to me doing my exercises diligently. Reckon I'm 80% better in terms of pain and strength, 90% range of movement.
All in all I was off the bike for nearly 5 months, with the waistline to prove it!
Almost forgotten about it now when I'm riding but wouldn't want to go through it again, slippy patch on Tuesday morning scared the bejesus out of me.
I hope your recovery goes well

So, I've also joined the club.
Apart from a couple of small splinters, mine hasn't broken but I have dislocated the lateral end. It's surprisingly painful and I'm not looking forward to six weeks of no cycling. I'll start reading the thread from the beginning but any tips in the meantime would be much appreciated.
