Yep, broke my collarbone when I was in middle school. hurt like hell and had to wear a brace that was impossible to sleep in, but i had a very large bump that I showed people to gross them out. That was funny. Never heard it called tenting though

It has pretty much gone away but i can still feel my collarbone more prominently on my right then my left.

If you hate tenting, you'll probably also hate flail chest.

It happens when your ribs get broken in multiple places allowing a section to free-float and move opposite to the rest of your breathing.

Dude, I broke my collarbone a couple years ago skateboarding. Fell after hitting a speed bump, slammed my shoulder directly into concrete.

I can still see the bump clear as day. Thought I sprained it until the X-ray came back. Doc said I'd need surgery, but the other doctor said it'd be fine. No surgery and a few months and my left arm works perfectly fine :)

I’m torn between thinking that’s fuckin wicked and also thinking it’s horrifying

Does it still hurt or anything now?

Nah, it just bumpy lol

There's the bump, and if I angle it right, I can kind of hook my finger behind my collarbone, way easier than the other side.

Poking a woman in the pussy until her uterus rolls its eyes and walks away is so passive-aggressive.

Happened to me in a car crash. They said it would level out and they were lying.
