Collar bone fix

Post by J&J »

Some of you know I broke my collar bone on July 4th.... went over the handlebars trying not to run over my boy. Really dumb kind of freak thing but I was going way too fast behind him :doh:
Many dirt bike guys have had broken collar bones so I'm not sure if that initiates me or just makes me a dumb ass :shrug:
After three months of being told it would heal on its own I saw a specialist who told me not only that the collar bone needed to be fixed but so did my rotator cuff.

So..... I got the DAMN thing fixed last Thursday

That sucks! I've had a good friend of mine deal with something similar. 4 months of "it'll heal," followed by screws, plates, and a badass scar.

Dang J!

At least now it will heal proper and hopefully the worst is behind you.

Hope to see you riding again soon. :thumbup:

Ah bugger!!

Im part of the idiot "dirtbiker over the handle bars" club. I broke my collar bone and had a crack down my scapula. But luckily I was only 23 or so and was back to work in 6-7 weeks.
I hope now that you've had surgery things will heal up.

Worst part about staples...
When they pull out a big pair of pliers to pull them out.

When mine came out, I said something to the effect of, "WTF do you think you're doing!" It didn't hurt, but it did freak me out.
