• 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.

  • 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.

  • Six weeks is worst case as it's 'sprung' quite a bit - there's also a couple of bone fragments that are floating around so I don't know if that means it's worse.

    I've got my first fracture clinic appointment tomorrow so they might have some better news.
