I broke my collar bone back on May 31 while racing in formula twins. After x-rays the doc gave me a figure 8 brace to wear and said the break needed this type of brace. After a week and a half of this my arm began swelling up badly, I went to emergency and the doc said the figure 8 brace was the problem. So he said use the sling.
It has been 5 weeks now, and after x-rays there is still a centimeter spacing between the bones with an over lapp. The doc says go back to the figure 8 brace and come in every 2 weeks, it will be another 6 to 8 weeks. If it doesn't improve after this amount of time, then will send you to a orthapedic surgeon.
This is quite frustrating, does anyone out their have any advise or know of better medical people I could see.
P.S. ( Don't break your collar bone )
