I don’t know about the collarbone. It is not looking/feeling right, but I’m no expert. Haven’t seen the initial xray, so don’t know where it snapped, but it looks as if the 2 parts are now on top of each other instead of joined where it broke.
Well, might as well apply to medical school or apply for the Superman role. Here is the latest xray from 2 days ago, showing what I suspected 3 weeks ago.
Still waiting for a specialist to comment on it, but it doesn’t look too great IMHO.

Oh no. Have you been overdoing it? I can't believe you could even get on the bike.

I don’t know , I tried to keep it as passive as possible, but getting in and out of bed etc. without some movement of that area too is neigh impossible for weeks on end. I can’t believe they expected that fracture to grow back together nicely without surgery back then, and it seems like I was right.
Getting on the bike is not that painful on the collarbone, it is my right leg that is still hurting, but it is getting better, now that I have found the right technique.

Well, I got the evaluation from “someone” at the hospital today, and she said it showed that it had not grown together as hoped, and would advice further examination by an orthopedic surgeon. Will have to wait for my GP to relay the same news to me, before the next step. But as is now, it is causing pain in the area around the shoulder, neck and chest, and I’m also feeling a bit dizzy at all times.
I expect it is some nerves etc. under pressure from the deformation of the collarbone and added bonestructure...
