broken collarbone-success stories please!

My friend broke hers coming off her mare, it's been over 18 months and she still isn't 100% (although she is back riding and jumping). Her recovery time is, I think, mainly because the hospital left it for 5 months to see how it would heal on it's own (it didn't) before plating it, by which time there was nerve damage in the shoulder.

On the other hand, I know someone who was back on board within a few weeks because it was operated on within a week or two.

So ... if it's going to need plated, push for it to be done ASAP!
 
Yes I was in horrendous pain and could feel bones grating! The level of pain that knocks the wind out of you and makes you see white spots!

Was at that level of pain for a couple of months at least
 
hey! i’m definitely quite late to this, but I currently have a broken collarbone due to a riding accident and have been out for a week and a half and am dying to ride. I’m in a figure 8 brace and also in a sling and am not going to rush riding or working with horses as I don’t want to make my break worse (it’s a bad break to begin with lol) I hope you’re back to riding by now and have no issues!

Mine are an issue most days, my shoulders and collar bone area have remained a weak point for me, if it get sore it there and sometimes they are very sore believe me.
Take your recovery seriously see a good chiropractor and do some physio too.
I didn't, in fact 2 of my breaks were not known for years as I just ignored the pain and carried on.
