I'm sorry to hear things aren't going too smoothly on the clavicle front.
Mine, although slightly overlapping, has healed up really well. I took my sling off after 4 weeks and was given the all clear by the doc at 4 1/2. I've been doing physio since week 2 which has really helped and now I can lift my arm over my head and be normal.
The doctor said that although the bone has fused, I can't play contact sports, bench press or fall off my bike for 4 weeks. As much as I want to get riding again I think I might keep it to just the rollers for another month as I'd be gutted if a small spill screwed it up again.
Thanks for the advice everyone (esp. DFP). Rest, protein, calcium and physio FTW. Heal up soon peeps
