I broke mine and was told to wait to see if it healed.
Basically I had to be careful, keep it protected (in rush hour on the tube etc)
I was in a bad state and flinched at anything and anyone that came near me fearful that I was going to put it out again.
After a couple of days of mincing around I went and got my shoulder taped by a guy who treats Pro rugby players and felt a million dollars afterwards, a lot more comfortable and "secure" and pretty much forgot about the injury.
Two weeks later I was back on my turbo with the bars raised higher so I didn't have to stretch into them as much.
I only took painkillers at night to give me a good nights sleep.
6 weeks I was riding again, 8 weeks I was in a 100km sportive.
