One thing I did notice, which I don't know if its just me, is that I cannot wear a backpack anymore, the straps go right over the break and I get a sharp pain from it.
OK. In my case the bones weren't separated that much. They were offset and formed noticeable bumps. Maybe in your case you should have had surgery to reset the bones. The pain you are feeling is probably from scar tissue that has formed around the break. Have they given you any rehab exercises to do ? It's very important to keep that scar tissue from getting too big or you'll continue to have pain for a long time.
