How Can A Broken Clavicle Be Healed?

I broke my right clavicle while riding my bike and going on a ramp and launching almost 2 1/2 metres into the air and landed upside down right onto my right shoulder. This happened in early june 2013 and i wore a sling for atleast 16-20 weeks and until now 18/07/2014 I am still getting a lot of pain on my right clavicle. And also because I had my sling on for that long, my left shoulder has been also hurting alot too but not as much. Thank you for your time

Hi,

I have studied your case with diligence

Fracture might be uniting if callus can be seen.
Consult your doctor for confirming callus and union.
If there is no union then you may need to do surgery and plate fixation.

If you can send all your x ray reports I can help you better.
