Will be 10 years next month, almost 61, my crash resulted in a minor clavicle and neck break along with Long Thoracic Nerve Damage. Dr. said sling for a couple of weeks but 1 week later it was gone with minimal movement allowed. MAJOR ISSUE was right clavicle and right handed so had to learn to be ambidextrous. Neurosurgeon said neck was minor but still NOTHING BUT WALKING for exercise and must wear a neck brace 24/7 for 8 weeks. Trip back at 8 weeks and was told it needed ANOTHER 8 WEEKS OF 24/7 BEING IMMOBILE.

April last year had a WILD HOG ENCOUNTER and crash resulted in 2 cracked ribs, cracked scapular, punctured lung, left shoulder trauma and some cuts. Saw my Ortho 8 days after crash and he said can get back to easy riding DAY 10 and I did.

My new Ortho Dr. was same who installed a right shoulder in August of 2016 and I was back riding 3 days after installation.
