Your videos have been very helpful.
I broke clavicle in two complete breaks Sept 23 last year.
Surgery was postponed because of severe cellulitis in my right leg.Could not walk.
Hospital 30 days.
Than in Nov the metal plate was put in.
It aggravated shoulder and arm so much added on pain
Plate coming out at 6 month mark
Than a MRI to see possible other issues.
I am almost 76.
Worse thing I have ever endured.
At times I seen no end to the ordeal
Thank ypu again for your positive vibes.
Bless you and I do so hope you will be on the mend soon!

It caused so much pain.

Hi broke my clavicle j4 weeks ago this Saturday. Surgery followed the day after following a chat with consultant so now I have a plate. I do physio each day but it will take time for strength to return to my right shoulder. Follow up visits to hosp are next. Thanks for vid.
Good luck on your recovery journey

Hi Pippa, hope you had a good Christmas. I keep watching your video to see how i'm progressing and using your recovery as my guideline, almost 4 months out after the surgery but still feeling very stiff and uncomfortable, still doing physical therapy 2x a week and it helps quite a lot i would say. i can't wait to get this metal works out as well as you mentioned in this video here, i understand how it feels now. Anyway.. i just want to say how i appreciate that you post this video for us and people out there who suffers from same injury. I hope you and family have a healthy 2023!!
Thank you so much , I’m so glad the videos helped you. Wishing you health in the new year - you will get there!!!

Hope helps! It’s awful but I promise you will get better! Feel for you!! Keep in touch
Pippa
@@pippaw4779 hi pippa, i am almost 5 weeks post op. i am wondering If the clicky sound on your shoulder is gone after the metal work removed? I hope it is and how are you feeling now after few years of the clavicle incident, do you feel 100% normal again (or close) ? Appreciate your feedback. Stay well!
Hi there, yes clicking all gone and pretty much normal but I have a scar and it aches a bit in cold damp weather!! But I have full movement and strength that side! Hope you are doing well!
I fractured my collarbone while riding bike in Leh ladakh India and it was horrible. However i chose to complete the trip with broken collarbone in Leh for 7 days without treatment wearing a sling bag .It was broken in 3 pieces and we tried to heal it naturally but unfortunately it went into non union. After around 3 months i decided to go for surgery. I got my fracture on Aug 21 2021 , I did my surgery on Nov 19 and i am still recovering . It has been horrible horrible for me all these days and I have gained so much weight . The pain of not being able to do your favorite activities and play sports is really hard but yet need to stay positive. Please post the physiotherapy exercises which can help recover faster . Even after 3 months of surgery I can only raise 100 degrees in the front and 50 degrees in the side and my posture is not corrected yet :( hoping for support and tips \m/
Oh bless you that’s so horrible for you. I really hope you will recover soon. There are numerous physio exercises you can do at different stages of recovery- it would be too difficult to go through them all on here, can you seek expert advice at all? It also depends on how far into your recovery you are. Wishing you love and recovery.
My first video at 6 weeks post injury is called Broken collarbone recovery chat 2017
Hey Pippa. I broke my collar bone a week and a half ago... still in the sling. Is it normal to still hear grinding and slight shifting at this stage?
Hi Pippa, don’t know if you still look at these and answer questions... we’ve been following your journey as my 23 year old daughter also smashed her clavicle. She’s 6 weeks post op and feeling very low (as you were)
We’ve just been told she can now ditch the sling but she has had no physio yet and has massive muscle wastage.. any tips on exercises please? She’s had the normal elbow bending and pendulum but that about it 🤷🏻♀️...
many thanks for reading this 👍
Hi there, oh your poor poor daughter, it’s so awful!! Yes I was given weekly physio for several weeks with progressive exercises- I would ask for a referral - mine took about 20 mins twice daily, many different exercise like pushing against a wall with arms, I used resistance bands too to help, pendulum, pushing and pulling against someone else with hand, I made a whole list at the time. The muscle wasting will get better once she starts using her arm normally again, tell her not to worry as it comes back fast. I saw a trauma physio so was lucky. She was brilliant! I cried doing some of the exercises tho!! Keep in touch , Pippa

Hi again, thank you so much for taking the time to reply and for your help.
That’s all really useful information and well certainly give it a go.
Unfortunately she’s only just been referred for physio and she starts a new job in 10 days!😱 so I’m sure we’re going to have some work and tears along the way. She’s been in the sling 2 weeks pre and 6 weeks post op, so as you can imagine there’s an awful lot of muscle wastage.
I hope you’re back to normal now and doing well? I see you’ve had your plate removed, but my daughters surgeon is reluctant to do that as he said that because she has 10 screws in place, it would leave her very venerable it they were to be removed. She really doesn’t want to think about another procedure at this stage anyway, bless her. I’m just worried she’s thinking of getting back on her horse 🥴
See how she goes, I promise the muscle will come back as she uses her arm and shoulder more. I had the metal removed 18 months later as it was not comfy. Plenty of time to decide ! One of the exercises was the ‘dust’ the table reaching arm out little by little and ‘dust up the wall’ with arm - gradually go higher as movement and pain allows
Mam 5 monts are crossed but.... Movement is good but i felt some difference in my handss
how is your condition now a days
My coller bone fracture in 25 desamber 2019 and surgery 10 February 2020
DIPAK SARODE wow that’s a big time gap - wishing you all the best Dipak, take care
Can i get your x ray of you clavicle fracture and after healed bone x ray? I had surgery 2 weeks ago so!
Hi I don’t have an X-ray of my shoulder post op but if feels ok now - funny enough it aches a little when the weather is damp and cold! I have full movement and scar is fine! All the best to you! Pippa
@@pippaw4779 thank you! Worried about the surgery little bit, the videos are very helpful btw!
@@explorewithv3609 having the metal work out was so easy compared with the initial surgery, I was even working a bit the following day. It was a day case and I was home a couple of hours after op. I’m sure you will be fine! All the best to you
hi pippa, did you undergo for therapy?
Monica Fababaer hi there, yes I had the operation and a plate and screws were put in. I had them removed 18 months later, I have made 3 other videos on here to help others.
@@pippaw4779 hi ms. pippa when exactly did your arm full back to normal? mine is still hurts whenever i do some exercises. its been a month already. thanks
Monica Fababaer hi there, it depends on how bad your fracture was and if you had surgery or not. I had 3 months off work and didn’t start feeling better until around 8 weeks. I have another friend who had a simple fracture with no surgery and she was fine after 6 weeks. Hope that helps! Wishing you well!
@@pippaw4779 thank you ms. pippa, anyway i'm staring my rehab few weeks ago.
