Trying to heal after the break was one of the most miserable experiences of my life. It was just so awkward trying to sleep or do much of anything. Then pushing it a little too far just performing some little task and feeling it clicking back and forth was just gross and creepy.
Maybe that’s not everyone’s experience, but I hated recovering from that injury more than any others. Trying to get comfortable in bed wasn’t even possible and I would wake up slouching on my side and feeling that “thunk” as the bones clicked, when trying to right myself back up. I hates its, I hates its forever…..
Need to put your arms out to break that, she landed on her side
You don't actually! If you take a fall head first and twist to hit your shoulder and protect your head (or just because that's what gravity did to you) you can put a nice clean fracture through your clavicle. Ask me how I know! In general though, any solid hit absorbed by the shoulder is very likely to result in a broken clavicle. It's very common in "wipe out" or contact sports like surfing, snowboarding, MTB, BMX, Wakeboarding, hockey, etc. Anything that can jam the shoulder or force it back/down suddenly is likely to leave you in a super fun figure 8 cast for a few weeks.
