I high sided while sliding out in a corner earlier this year and landed on my shoulder at 15-20mph. I ended up having an intramedullar pin installed (a.k.a. a "fabian rod") and was trainer ready in ~1wk. I also mixed that with some running over the following weeks.




To be honest, I'd first of all get a proper opinion from an orthopedic surgeon. Then follow his instructions - it'll be frustrating for a while, but you won't be out of action for long in the big scheme of things. Beyond the xrays, no two injuries are the same, and when you factor in the rate at which people heal, you shouldn't really judge your progress by anyone other than yourself. There can be a big difference in the amount of muscle, nerve, connective tissue damage that you can't see on an X-ray that will affect how you feel versus other folks.

For me, I ended up taking a little longer to fuse after surgery (~4mo) but am effectively back to normal now after having the pin removed last month. Very happy with my ortho and the procedure. Good luck.
