Question - Broken Clavicle (4 weeks)

by John

I broke my clavicle 4 weeks ago today. I have full range of motion in my arm now. I still feel pain about an hour into running (which I then stop) and swimming. I can still hear some clicking and popping when i shrug my shoulders (sometimes). It seems as though I'm getting stronger everyday. Can I feel this way and still not be healing properly? I still cant put body weight on it (push-ups and pull ups).

You are doing well for someone 4 weeks out from a fracture. The pain with running is normal - you could be inhibiting the healing, but no pain is a good sign. I would recheck with your doctor and have a follow up X-ray to make sure things are healing correctly.
