I got my shoulders tied back now, and feeling a hell of a lot better. I think I might even be able to drive manual but I’m not pushing my luck Bones wont actually start merging for 4 weeks from what I understand. If they dont heal well within like 2 or 3 months surgery might be needed. Either way I’ll be stuck with some sort of odd bump shape on the collar bone because they are overlapping. ---

I don’t know, a week in, I seem more or less normal as long as I don’t try to do anything crazy with the arm. Most of the movement has been there since the beginning, and at the moment, I’m typing with two arms. I think I got an appointment within a week, and I’ll see what the doc has to say. I haven’t been on pain meds since the second day, and taking more or less nothing since the third because I’m not in pain. I got the figure 8 strap on me now pulling the shoulders back. ---

you wont have a noticeable bump for life, just for awhile until the bone mends all the rough edges completely. I went to the dr’s today, the gap in my shin bone has filled in ALOT. that should give you some sort of estimate. ---

Glad to hear you’re getting better, you didn’t have a problem carrying the steelies the other night. Noticeable bump will disappear, but there will be one I’ll be able to feel forever :ponder 1 week down, 7 more to go. ---

Vlad keep in mind your arm will shrink a little bit if you dont use it for like a month or two, but thats normal. u can build it back up using some very light weights and a little excercise. see what your doctor says to do. its a good thing its not a complex fracture of a leg. some of those people lose so much musclemass in the legs they basically have to relearn to walk in PT ---

Update: At this point in time I’m pretty much fully recovered. It’s been feeling fine for over two weeks and I have full range of motion, even did a pushup today without problems. Got an appointment in a week, I’m expecting to hear that I’m as good as new (more or less :confused) Bone is sticking out more than usual because of the overlap, and there is a sharp drop off point which looks like a bump at the end, but feels fine. So far haven’t really felt the weather or anything nor seemed to have any problems. So, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go and … … :banana [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/no-manual-cars-or-bikes-for-me-for-6-to-8-weeks/235880.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/no-manual-cars-or-bikes-for-me-for-6-to-8-weeks/235880.md?page=3)
