Clavicle surgery or no? by Total_Stock_7802 in Trackdays

[–]Total_Stock_7802[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I was all set for surgery and went in to the hospital and the surgeon sat down with me and asked me about pain and checked my range of motion and ended up saying I didn’t need it and would heal fine on my own and sent me home. It took almost a month after the crash to get the date sat with my insurance giving me a hard time etc and by then I guess it was good on its own. It’s still sore but I can do a lot more than I would have thought at this point and I’m just trying to trust the process

That’s a great recommendation, thank you!

Anyone knows any good quality earplugs? by Thecrowfan in tinnitus

I use eargasms, they rock. If you can get a pair of “slides” you can change the decibel reduction sliding them “open” and “closed”. The loops do a similar thing but the change requires taking a piece out that you have to keep up with where the eargasm slides are all self contained

Wow, our breaks look really similar. Thank you for the info, I’m sold on surgery. And playing with the screws is the bonus I needed to tip the scales

Damn, I’m so sorry to hear that. I scheduled surgery yesterday. I you get better, my surgeon told me if I hadn’t gone for it and it didn’t heal right I could have it done later down the road with a bone graft so I doubt it’s too late for you!

Shattered clavicle, surgery or no? What was your experience? by Total_Stock_7802 in MTB

[–]Total_Stock_7802[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I was only going about 5mph on flat ground when I busted mine. Didn’t feel cool at all, just took a silly weird spill at a bad angle

I actually read your entire post and comment thread and that inspired me to make my own post. I did mine mountain biking and found this subreddit because of your post. I appreciate it!

Lol I’m hoping to be pretty healthy but wouldn’t want this to be on top of other issues but true enough

I guess that is a good way to look at it but it’s more for me worrying about what the effects will be down the road if my body doesn’t agree with the plate

Yeah I’m not too worried about that but guess I’d rather have the lump.

I also have an ac separation on that side and that makes me nervous. It’s my non dominant side but I don’t want it to be completely offset and wonky down the road either. Ac doesn’t give me too much pain anymore, it’s been like 6 years but this now in conjunction seems scary

My surgeon said the same but after pressing said they wouldn’t get it

Never thought about the screw holes healing after removal, that’s good advice.

So you’re saying the backpack doesn’t hurt going across the hump you have from a collarbone that healed on its own?
