Thanks guys.

I'm a little concerned about the non-surgical approach. Doing some research apparantly its not the eaisiest ortho surgery as there are a lot of blood vessels in the area and a lot of docs don't want to risk it. If its not healing in two weeks I'll seek another doc who is confident, but actually it feels pretty stable already, not much clicking/popping and I can raise my hand to eat and type normally now. There is definately a gap though and I can feel the edge of the bone from my neck side.

The best I can hope for this year is to heal enough to do some street riding. Season ends early here, fall leaves are deep, hide the rocks and spell trouble.

If you can still feel a gap and its lumpy already without any healing (calcium buildup) lumps yet, get another opinion real soon. I've broken mine twice. First in hi school sports and it healed up fine and straight, next time on a bike and I got cocky and started riding 2 wks later and didn't keep the bra on for long as it was stinking hot that summer. Nice lump there now and lots of clicking in the shoulder area. Most breaks I've seen on other guys that were not a simple clean break were plated.

Bummer about the broken collar bone Glen. I broke mine about 15 years ago and it never healed properly. It doesn't hurt, or bother me in anyway except my right shoulder is always lower in photos. I was racing 3 weeks after the crash, so I suggest staying off the bike if you want to heal properly.

Yes I've read that thread. The shoulder is even and there is no visible lump, I can just feel the edge of the bone when following it with my finger. When the XRay was shot I could feel it moving a lot so perhaps it was worse than now with the sling, thats what the doc thinks. Anyway, I'll give it two weeks. From reading, seems like if it doesn't start to heal fast initially, its not going to heal right.

Thanks, and I bet you would. As soon as I can spin wrenches again it will get a top end and RBD head mod. As soon as I can ride a street bike, I'll be getting a Ducati Hypermotard. Thats about all the riding I can hope for for awhile.
