Basically avoid lifting anything over 20 pounds for 3 weeks or playing sports. Also if they give you a sling or brace wear it. I didn't get a sling when I broke mine about 20 years ago I had to wear this thing that looked like a thick pair of suspenders. That was without a doubt a horrible month. Especially getting up in the morning.

With a collar bone fracture, you need to keep your arm in a sling and wear long sleeves if it's winter or short if it's summer but the fact is the broken bone will heal better if you keep your arm in a sling and held close to the body so that it doesn't swing about causing the bone to not heal in the right place.
