3 weeks ago, my collarbone got smashed when I got hit by a car while crossing the road. two days later the doc performed surgery in which he placed a metal plate and 7 screws into my collarbone to keep the bits together. He expects that I have to go with this place for a minimum of 18 months before I can even think about getting it out because collarbone is too weak as it was more smashed to bits than having a couple of nice fractures. I expect to carry arm in a sling for 6 weeks minimum but can do stationary bike or walking (with arm in sling), no running
Anyone having experience with similar incidents? How are you feeling now in the aftermath? Able to regain range of motion and strength? Any particular exercises/stretches? How soon after incident were you able to start working out again, etc?
