I’m sure theres a lot of folks on here who have broken there’s. What am I in for? So far it’s a bitch to sleep, can only sleep on my back and getting up from bed and out of chairs is painful. It seems sitting up and it shifts around causes pain.
How long till you were able to ride again?

I broke both of mine. One skiing, and the other motocross.
The Shop
Broke mine with the famous “Going take one more lap”
Broke my scapula, shattered my glenoid, dislocated my AC joint (Where the collarbone connects to the arm basically) and tore my bicep tendon.
It was hell I had to sleep basically sitting up for almost a week post surgery due to the tremendous amounts of pain I was in. Hurt like a bitch every time I tried to sit up or get in and out of a car.
Physio was brutal too when I finally got out of the sling I couldn't even lift my arm under its own weight but its's almost been a year now and I am very thankful to say that my arm is about 99% back to the way it was. It will never be 100% but its pretty damn close.
Broke my left at 28, tried to heal conservatively with a complete nonunion. Wasnt going well. My shoulder mobility basically froze to nothing. Was having wierd kain when I lifted my arm. It was never right. Went got a second opinion. Had it rebroke and plated...took me 6 months. the biggest issue was my Shoulder mobility. the collarbone itself was nothing.
It’s going to vary....depends on the severity of your break and how compliant you are with physical therapy.
Moral of the story, do what the damn doctor says.
Pit Row
Shoulder has been awesome.
Then I had it plated mid December and raced my 125 2nd week in January.
Broke my left one twice in a row. Both times I was off the bike 3-4 weeks. No long term issues other than a lil lumpy lump.
