"(my clavical is stickin up out of my shldr) I dont see how its going to heal correctly without it. I'd rather not be deformed for life. "

Yeah, uhh that would be me haha. I dislocated mine in a fourwheeling accident, but being deformed isnt really THAT bad. Anyways I know if it heals like that, you can have it well pretty much grinded down to make it flush with you collarbone again....i need to get mine done. Getting back into lifting really sucks, using really light weight but it can be done, so get to it and get better soon bro!

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.

That's a real shame man, I hope you heal up fast bro. Best of luck with it.

Thanks again everyone, I am definately looking forward to getting back to lifting, but its gonna be a while. Its amazing how much you want to go crazy on the Iron when you cant.

Damn, what can I say except to echo what has already been said. Hope it works out well for you.

Once again thanks everyone, I really appreciate the kind words. The droning pain is pretty much gone now, and my range of motion is increasing. I have an appt tomorrow to see the ortho again, and get more xrays to make sure the gap is closing up correctly.

I know this wasnt smart but i had the yearly karate camp this past weekend, I over did it a little, but It was well worth it. You'll see what I mean in my other thread.

Glad to hear things are starting to improve. Don't overdo it.....at least not too much.

got some good news and some bad news today at the orthopedic.

The Good:

I'm healing very quickly, my range of motion and strength is very good for being only two weeks out from this type of injury. He cleared me to start lifting very light as early as tomorrow. I'm very happy with this even though I know I have lost a lot of upper body strength.

Bad:

Well, I'm deformed for life hahaha. The end of my clavical will be sticking up around the end of my trap for the rest of my life, its a big lump, and it becomes more apparent when i flex. I'm not too worried about it though, wounds heal, chicks dig scars.

chicks also dig lumps...in the right places

so ur not doing to be doing the operation to set it straight then? or does this mean the operation for that doesnt exist?

There are actually two types of operations that could fix this. The first would be going in and re-attaching the tendon that snapped, putting the clavical back in place, the other would be going in and grinding the bone down so it doesnt stick up.

I'm not a big fan of going under the , and since I should regain 99% of my mobility and strength I see no reason to do it.
