I broke my right clavicle the day before we broke up for Summer on a group ride. Hit the deck at about 25, cracked my S-Works previal almost clean in half and got this cool X ray
Did this in July and only just feeling confident riding in close proximity with a group again.
Clavicles suck, you have to sleep on your back which is the worse torture.
Just try and get on the turbo as soon as you can manage.
EDIT- I had a plate put into mine, I believe this was the right decision, it cut the healing time and gave me a better scar. Only down side is they didn't want to take it out, so if I (which is likely) come off again and land on my right side, I could have a worse break with the plate still in. I play water polo and I feel like I've recovered extremely well if you overlook the gnarly scar (staple marks and all) and the loss of feeling surrounding the immediate area of the right clavicle
