Broken collarbone and need advice
Broken collarbone and need advice
Just yesterday, (January 19), I was out with my buddy and my gf. We were out all day and towards the end of the night we were on a blue and i was turning around trying to communicate my buddy and ended up catching my toe edge and launched forward and landed directly on my left shoulder. I am 17yo and have been snowboarding since I was 5 or 6. This is my first injury that has left me unable to get out again quickly. I am from the Midwest so it is difficult to predict the start and end if a season. Any advice to help manage the break is much needed as I do not know anyone who has broken their collarbone before. I will upload a picture of the x-ray in a few. If anyone has done this before and could tell me what they went through when it happened it would be appreciated. The doctors said no surgery or anything similar and i find that hard to believe due to what I have read and would be very open to anyone else's opinion.
