I m 24 year old male who broke his left clavicle pretty close to the shoulder about11 months ago in a snowboarding accident, now it s overlapping about an inch and still hurts. From a scale of one to ten the pain is a two and sometimes I don t feel it but it doesn t feel completely healed. I have almost full motion in it but it still feels weird to swing a golf club. It doesn t feel like it has gotten any better since about 4 months ago. When I rotate my shoulders it makes a popping grind noise. I really want to go snowboarding again, but I don t think my shoulder could take a fall. Do I need to just be patient or is this not normal.
Hello, It is not normal after 11 months of injury to feel pain at fracture site of clavicle. It looks me as a non-union. I will advise you to book an appointment with your or tho doctor. Your doctor will advise you an X-ray of affected shoulder. You may need surgery with bone grafting to resolve this issue. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
