last run, not even really doing anything
i have a pretty high tolerance for pain, but this is pretty painful
i cant ski for a while, and can only like a bong thats about a foot and a half tall

my question is.....
who else has broken there collarbne?
recovery time?
is there anything i can do to help it, or reduce the pain (besides drugs)

I broke mine like two years ago..
and it hurts really bad i'm sure you know..
They gave me a brace thing instead of a sling to wear and that helped a lot, it hurt to put on at first but it helped to recover faster.
It took a long time to feel right again and it still feel it sometimes.
Sorry it happened to you too!

wait five weeks man. it sucks, but is worth not re-breaking.
you'll feel pretty money after 3 weeks. but wait the extra two.

it depends how you broke it.

I broke my right collar bone all the way through and it was way more painful and longer recovery time. I had to wear this butterfly thing to pull my shoulders back.

My left one, a couple of years later, I broke like a green stick in that it did not break all the way through. I felt money in a couple of weeks but every time I fell skiing it killed. I ended up re breaking it playing IM flag football of all things with a super mellow fall. It still gives me problems and took a good year to completely heal and I have a huge bump.

So basically give it more time than you think and wear the sling. You will regret it if you don't.

if you broke it all the way through its going to be a while. Just dont push it let it heal and sleep on your back.

I broke mine mid December and I'm about 2 weeks out from being 100% again.  Just don't push it.  It will be very vulnerable to breaking again in about 3-4 week, so you have to watch it.  Just lay low, let people do stuff for you and take it easy.
