Clavicle Plate Removal - Recovery and return to cycling?
Posted: Wed May 23, 2012 1:28 pm
Hi all,
So i had a motorbike accident and smashed my collarbone about a year ago and had a plate and screws installed I've been riding a lot lately with no pain, just discomfort when sleeping, carrying bags, etc so on Monday i'm due to get the plate removed.
Has anyone got any experience with this? Whats the recovery like and how long until i can ride without pain (i know i shouldn't due to risk of falling, but im not sitting around for 6 weeks!)
The reason for my question is because i am due to go on holidays to Whistler 10 days after my operation (and we all know what we do in Whistler once the snow's gone )
I know i absolutely cant fall off otherwise i will probably re-break it, but will i be able to ride a bike pain free???
