Has anyone else sustained a fracture that's put them out of lifting? Is there any way to help the injury heal faster? Training is my life and passion, so I'm extremely depressed at the moment. Having my clavicle snapped into 3 pieces, I am likely to need surgery, and possibly a metal plate inserted to assist recovery. And yes, I have already been to hospital. They basically told me there was nothing they could do at the given time (Saturday arvo) due to Sunday being Easter, and Monday a public holiday.
Nothing to make it heal faster. See the orthopod (got private insurance?) and they will be able to fix it up pretty quickly. Doesn't look that bad.
But you will need a decent amount of time off. There isn't much you can do about that. You start again early and you could end up re-breaking it or doing some ligament damage in your shoulder.
Fastest way to heal, relax, eat well. When you can, go running or swimming to keep your fitness up. You will know when you can run, cause it will hurt if you're not ready yet.
Haha this is off topic but i saw your name on the main page and couldn't help but laugh. Did you get it off MXC?
Yessir!
Where has Justy gone? I need to give him a Bella technilogical hug and check in on him..................
Thanks Bella. Surgery in 2 weeks. Turns out my clavicle isn't broken in 3 pieces, it's broken in 4. Surgeon says I'll be able to lift the same weight as prior to the accident 3 months after the operation, & able to start lifting light weights 6 weeks in. Going to have a 6-inch scar, and permanent numbness in the area of surgery.
Ouch dude! That looks so painful.
I went into the ED last weekend fearing a similar injury, Luckily nothing was broken. Was just a AC Joint sprain/tear but I've been in a sling all week and I know the frustration!
Was also out for 6 months in 2010 after a knee injury and while your keen to get back into it, you just need to focus on resting and getting fixed properly.
When you do finally get back into everything you love, it just feels so much better then it ever did before! Rest - find new hobby for the mean time - come back at it with a whole new outlook on life
