Broken collarbones often heal without medical intervention. When they heal improperly, that can really, really suck. Get it looked at before that happens, and x-rayed. Be VERY careful about doing anything like cycling and be careful driving, walking up and down stairs with that concussion. PAY ATTENTION to any change in symptoms.
You avoid the doctor at your own risk in my opinion. But it is your choice.

In the end that was their last resort. But ultimately they couldn't find a large enough dosage of oxycontin that I couldn't tolerate.

I got out of the hospital a week ago. Rode yesterday, then today, averaged 21.3 mph on the little 6 mile TT course over here, which was slow, but not as slow as I feared. Right leg is still pretty swollen, but hopefully blood clot will clear over the next several weeks and that will get normal. It's not painful. Breathing is almost normal now, lung pain 95%+ gone. Actually feeling surprisingly good on the bike considering how fat and out of shape I really am.

Fortunately, the serenity that informs the BF Holy See elevates me above such Fredly Scorn.

I haven't been away from the site, but somehow I missed a pertinent medical detail: Did you originally do something that caused a clout to form in your leg? Or did it happen on its own?
I'm wondering about what symptoms to look for.

Good to know you're better, and this looks like a good spot to toss out a random biking video. This might have been a good workout for the hospital room: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fir6neas6I8

Who wants to go riding when the drunks and sleepy drivers are at their peak?
