I ended up breaking my collarbone mountain biking last week. wondering how long others have been out for with a similar injury. Really wishing I had signed up for short term disability now ha. Docs are saying 2-3 months but I remain optimistic ill be back before that...

All depends on the fracture. Some are almost trivial, our a clavicle brace on it and press on, while some require surgery and months of rehab.

Yeah I did a number on it. Had surgery on it and have about twelve screws piecing it all back together. I'm hoping 8 weeks and ill be back but who knows.

Hint: lift your rollaboard with the OTHER hand for the first two months...

Broke the non dominant side luckily so I should be good there! Hoping this one doesn't set off the metal detector, still got another plate and screws in my arm so will see. If it does ill just go sign up for FFDO
