How come you went home without understanding what was wrong with you? Anyway, your collar bone heals on its own quite well. Unless there is a piece of bone sticking out or a sign of blood vessel injury, surgery is rarely indicated for this bone. Give it about 6 weeks and you will already be able to move your arm well. You will have a lump in your clavicle area due to the bone healing itself but this should disappear in 6-12 months time. For the meantime, make sure your arm is at least supported in a sling for about 2-3 weeks. This will help relieve the pain. The weight of the unsupported arm dragging on your broken bone is the cause of the pain. Don't worry, you'll be fine soon.

Normal treatment is pain relievers and either a sling or a clavicle strap. Expect a lump after it heals. There is no way to cast, setting them does no good (the ends just drift back apart), and though there are a few special circumstances in which surgical fixation is better, for the usual types of break the best outcomes are with minimal treatment.

Acupuncturist for discomfort. Chiropractor to align issues so as that they are in a position to heal. And BTW: all that BS approximately milk making your bones reliable is a gaggle of manure shoveled by making use of the $$$ dairy industry. "there are multiple themes related to calcium and bones. the 1st is milk. Milk is a comparatively touted source of calcium. the project the dairy industry fails to indicate is that the calcium in milk isn't very bioavailable. this implies you are able to drink it yet your physique will possibly no longer soak up it. yet another project with milk as a calcium source is its severe protein content cloth. severe protein meals consisting of milk tend to surely pull calcium out of your bones. it relatively is by using acid point of milk and different severe protein meals. Your physique makes use of calcium to neutralize the acid ingested from severe protein meals. An analogy could be whilst we use baking soda from the kitchen to neutralize acid buildup on the terminals of the automobile battery. The baking soda neutralizes the acid. in relation to the physique, calcium is used to neutralize acid meals and shelter a relentless pH of the blood. once you consume relatively acid meals consisting of milk, the physique will pull calcium from the bones if mandatory, to maintain the right pH of the blood. Years in the past, the milk industry marketed that milk will build reliable bones. it relatively is in many situations occurring to be relatively questionable and you now no longer see those commercials." In different words, you're self-treating what may be a probably severe and painful project down the line in step with an promoting industry delusion. Heating pad, ice packs and Tiger Balm additionally will help in case you are able to no longer get to an acupuncturist or chiropractor as will Olive Leaf Extract. i exploit them each and all of the time, and that they artwork. Milk will in simple terms make you fat and fatten the wallets of the dairy industry.

you must have only cracked it, if it was broken, then I would think you would have a cast around your neck or brace.
