Number One Broken Bone In The Body

Did you know that about all the bones in the body, the clavicle[collar bone] is the number one bone that breaks? Many people that break their clavicle in the middle or towards a middle. In February 2011 my shoulder had been hurting when I did giants on bars. I stopped doing giants and only training other skills on bars. After a few months the pain had vanished and so I returned to training giants. After a month or so it starte hurting again. Yet, once again, I stopped training giants and other skills on bars. Eventually, every skill on bars was hurting my shoulder and so I stopped training bars altogether. After X-Rays, a Catscan, and three months of resting of it trying to heal: I'm not taking any classes at MCCC, not tutoring math this fall but will be in the Winter Semester, not working hardly any hours, laying around trying to heal being lazy, writing on my blog, which needed work on it; I have to do physical therapy [PT] for a month to see it will help at all. If it is working but not completly I will go another month. However, if it doesn't help, the Dr. may have to surgically scrap part of bone that has been chipped  off he end out. It will be about a 3 week recovery and a few months till it's back to normal. It's a good surgery in that it's not repairing anything to have to heal; it's just taking out bone that is causing pain.

[Updated] Surgery

Surgery went well. It has been 10 weeks since the surgery; I was in a cast for 5 weeks, the first three I was using crutches and the other 2 weeks I was walking with a  cast on. Then I walked with a walking boot for 2 weeks, now I'm walking with tennis shoes on. Not too much pain; I'll get a little here and there, but not too much where I can't stand it or tolerate the pain at all.

However, the pain that I was having before the surgery, the entire reason I had it is still hurting. The ball of your foot that hurts with bunions. Although, the bone in my foot is straight, my toe isn't. I'm not a podiatrist, so I don't know if the bunion can still grow and hurt. I will go back Oct. 9th to make sure all is well and that it is good and well.

Will update you on my foot as soon as I have more info to update you with.
