yeah, I've broken it before, and the lump was there. not bothered about that as the bone itself was a continuous line of, more or less, the same depth away from the skin towards my shoulder. However, if I follow the path of the bone from my neck out wards it reaches the break and just drops back about 2 cm.
Maybe I'll call, just hate wasting doctor's time.
my break never realigned itself. a bit like yours, mark, though drop is less than 2cm. went for an xray a total of three times within the 12wks and each time, the position stayed the same from the time it snapped. there's 'daylight' between the two parts. surgeon said that it's something that got caught in between, fat/muscle/whatever.
didnt want to go for a surgery cos i just wanted it to heal up. i was able to put some weight on it after 6-8wks but it was uncomfortable for a long time after that...say another 2-3+mths. i couldnt sleep on that side and from time to time i was getting some numbness/pins&needles
