I wish there was a cool story to go with this one. Unfortunately it was a simple trip taking the recycling out. Just the way I landed and at the time it didn’t hurt I was more worried about collarbone.How did you break the latest bone?
Will be having a bone density scan this week. Need to get things checked out cause both last brakes were from tiny spills. Definitely don’t bounce like I used to.Damn that's some bad luck right there. I'd definitely look to get your bone density checked out. It might just be that you'd always have broken them but it would be good know if there was something else behind it so you can act upon it.
Hope you heal up quickly.
What was that free App?I had an old magnet Aldi trainer lying around and it was pretty noisy at higher speeds, not sure what the neighbours thought when I would try to hold the fastest cadence and speed to beat the boredom of being on the trainer. I ran a free app on my phone that connected to a Garmin cadence and speed sensor, I used to practise doing sprint intervals with the minute counter on the app while having the phone strapped to the bars. You can compare your training sessions for a bit of fun and see how you are advancing if any and luckily I had an I-pod to drain the noise out and keep my mind occupied.

No photoshop there. I have 0 tech skills I wouldn’t no how to open photoshop little own use it. Only thing with hand broken is I have zero grip strength. The only real struggle working on the bike was putting the barb in when shortening brake lines. Everything takes a lot longer but always a way.That is horrible sorry to hear mate . Is that a Photoshop? Looks like your skills haven't been affected by any of your breakages then
Don't let it stop you wrenching! I rebuilt my forks with arm in a sling when I did my collarbone. Things like that helps time pass until you can ride againNo photoshop there.

Wear that sling whenever you're out of bed. I think it took a good 6 weeks for mine to knit, but it had to bridge over a cm gapHey guys,
As you know I have just joined this club!
Wondering for those who did not have surgery, how long did it take to stop feeling like the bone is moving around?
How still did you need to stay for it to actually join?
Thanks
I had surgery on the right. The left didn't break all the way through. Right healed up well, left has a bump.Hey guys,

I assume you mean "How long did I have to stay still for it to actually join"How still did you need to stay for it to actually join?
One of the most uncomfortable things you'll do with a busted collarbone!Yeah I'm wearing the sling all the time. The main time I feel it moving is doing something like getting up or out of bed.
Thanks mate,I didn't have surgery and it took about 3 weeks from memory for it to stop moving.

I still got about as normal but just didn't use that arm. I did have the odd occasion (usually stretching in the morning) where I forgot that I had a broken collarbone and was painfully remindedThanks mate,
I suppose what I'm asking is how pedantic I need to be keeping still?
I'm trying hard to keep it still and good posture. But with the entire family home due to the lockdowns I'm still finding myself up and about more than I'd like.
Sorry to hear mate, now is a shitter of a time to hurt yourself badly.Hey guys,

Hi mate, I haven't got a copy of the xrays yet, but looked almost carbon copy of Haakons in the what did you do with your bikes thread as far as angle. Just the one clean break that I know of. Guess I'll find out when I see the ortho on Friday morning.Sorry to hear mate, now is a shitter of a time to hurt yourself badly.
Have you got any Xrays?
How it broke, whether it is complete, clean, fragments or not, how displaced etc, will have a huge bearing on whether it will unite successfully without surgery. If it's in at least 2 pieces, it will take a long time without surgery unfortunately. With surgery you are usually back to doing light loads within 8-10 weeks, but without you can be looking at 16+ weeks depending on how still you keep it.
