why are you gonna need surgery? is it displaced so much? shattered in 3 pieces? its a good thing that you only broke your clavicle since they are the easiest to heal and are minimally debilitating.
Thank you all for the generous comments. Its only broken in one place but its so far off it looks like it should have been a compound fracture puncturing through my skin. If I ever see any of you I'll have to show it, looks like there is a finger underneath. I wasn't going all that fast maybe at most 20 mph taking a right turn out of and apartment complex after the sprinklers ran. I started sliding over falling to the right. I kept it up then hit the dry part and the bike whipped over very quickly. I should have just gone down with probably less force on the right side...

I do, even in this weather I have as much as I can, except I use jeans and in this weather I use a mesh jacket, but only use it in the summer. I use the leather most of the time otherwise. I like to wear my shin high boots everywhere. I only got a small amount of rash on my hip because my jacket came up only a bit. Friends seem to get a little agitated when they want to leave right away and I'm taking time to get gear on like I'm going into battle.

It happened around Easter time. I have full range of motion (actually a little more), hell I can do push ups. I was scared to move it in the beginning because the doctor said it would probably heal on its own and I didn't want to hinder that. Well like a month goes by and it still hasn't changed, so I said screw this I can't make it worse. I started trying to get my arm back to normal operating condition because it became so weak from having it in a sling not moving.

so it was pretty recent then. usually with clavicles, they heal on its own. dont really need to touch it unless its all shattered in 3 different pieces. but they do heal back and form a "knot".
chances are, you wouldnt need surgery. youll just have some cracking and popping from time to time. they do take time to heal. bones heal 6-8 weeks but if youre a youngin, around 6 weeks. im guessing your shoulder is doing ok now. let me know if you got any questions as far as exercises for that shoulder, i work at a physical therapy clinic and this is one of the stuff i did to our patients.

do some therapy to that injured shoulder. do external rotations, scaptions, ROM pulleys and "wand exercises", then start hitting the gym to get back the strength.

did you ever do a follow up xray? u said ur insurance might not cover anymore of your medical stuff, so good luck.
