Best Sleep Position for a BROKEN Collarbone | Clavicle Healing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 вер 2024
- When I broke my collarbone sleeping was a major concern. It was terrible uncomfortable to sleep in the bed as I was moving around too much in my sleep which would often wake me up during the night.
I figured out a better way, place and position to sleep while I healed up from my injury caused from a mountain bike crash I had and maybe this technique could help some of you suffering out there who are currently dealing with a broken clavicle.

Glad I could help!

Bro I'm so confused about the bumb they say it will heal without surgery but my shoulder position kills me when I look at it so is it better to do surgery?
Bruh Same
Hey just broke mine about a week ago and I had no idea that I could prop up my arm on a pillow like that, I’ve been sleeping sitting upright with my sling very tight to maximize the healing process. On the downside I barely got any sleep and would wake up every few hours. Mentally it’s taken a toll on me too because I was told that I wouldn’t be able to do any sports or lifting for at least 3 months. Seeing these comments have definitely given me comfort. I think something that’s really important to be on top of while healing is if ur body is slouched. My mom made sure to remind me to always stand straight with good posture. The first couple days I would lean right toward my broken bone because it was less painful but my mom told me that my bone could heal at a weird angle so make sure u stay on top of that. I plan on going back into boxing and weightlifting once I’ve fully recovered, I’ll update u guys in 3 or so months.
Same hopefully it’s the same after
Broke mine 4 months ago still very broken, praying I don’t need surgery but I will if I have to
Yo bro how are you doing? Today i broke mine and im so scared😢 i can barely move it hurts so much… but it isnt snapped in 2 halfs bit of the bone is still attached to the other one. Can you tell me how many days did it take for you to get better? Thanks a alot
@@ZaxetteBS currently still ongoinh 5 months it's in 3 peices
@@GlandenGamingYT still didnt recover?!
I broke my collarbone commuting on my bike two weeks ago, and I watched this video a few days after it happened. I have to say that what I loved most about it was hearing your positive energy. It was so helpful hearing someone discuss their recovery in a humorous way, it gave me a light at the end of the tunnel (which was difficult to see previously with all the pain). So thank you for making this!
glad i can help
Is your collarbone healed now
@@ns_izaac1572 it didn't heal by itself, there was still a fairly big gap of 14mm between the bone parts that wouldn't come close together, so I just had surgery a week ago to get a plate added to it 4 months after it broke. Wish I'd gotten the surgery in the first place, but it wasn't offered to me then because the doctor said it will heal by itself!
@@DreamingWithEyesWide I just broke mine today. How long did you wait and see before understanding surgery was required?
@@lornestein7248 it took about 3/4 weeks to realise that the bone parts weren't moving any closer together (it healed 3mm in those first few weeks and then it stopped healing, even though it still had 14mm of a gap left). The surgery and the recovery from it was way smoother than trying to let it heal by itself because I was in way less pain after the surgery than after I fell!
Anyway, now it's been about 9 months since the surgery and it's almost all perfect now, I can do everything again, including endurance cycling, so in my case I'm delighted I had the surgery so I could move on with my life!
I literally broke mine today, and here I am looking for tips and recommendations 🥴
I broke my last year, I found that getting a flat pillow, and lie on your back, with your arm in its sling posture, Put a pillow under it(flat one) and just rest up mate :/
It works
I remember trying to get up the first morning after I broke my collar bone. I was at the edge of my bed had my feet on the ground but still couldn't get up. Been there about 10 minutes. Worst pain of my life

I feel you, it will get better

I broke mine around same time, prayers friend!, I got told I could do natural but surgery is a option I broke it in 3
Dealing it right now
@@RealMobbin same still broken, might just opt in for surgery
I broke mine almost 5 months ago. It's still healing. Sleeping with the pillow on my arm helped me really well. Even until now that I feel significantly better, I still use the pillow trick.
does it still hurt or is it hard to do normal activities?
@@juansandoval7825 it's not anymore. I can lift heavy stuffs now but I still can't do push ups properly.
I had surgery and have a plate installed. So the recovery was faster considering the severity of the fracture.
@@adrian_veidt mine was Broken 10 days ago due to road accident had surgery on 9th plate was installed .... thanks for your comment it has motivated me that I'll also have a speedy recovery
@@suezanna2690 sorry to hear that, dear. I hope you heal well soon.
My Orthopedic recommended lots of bananas, calcium foods/supplements and hardboiled eggs for faster healing.
@@adrian_veidt did u have surgery cause the doctors in my area are saying to get surgery
I broke my collarbone the other day and here i am watching a video while struggling to get out of bed. Worst pain ever
hope it feels better
Amen
Great video Wayne! What worked best for me after breaking my collarbone was something called an “X-brace” and it basically looks like you’re wearing a backpack without the pack in the back. I found the sling was uncomfortable and my arm/elbow was super stuff since you can’t use the arm that’s in the sling. When it was time to take the sling off for whatever reason it would be so painful to straighten my arm. The X-brace would keep my collarbone stable but allow me to still use both arms. This was helpful for things like typing, using a computer and mouse. Obviously you can’t lift anything because of your broken collarbone but you can still do light task and keep both arms mobile.
Thanks buddy. I have never heard of the x brace. Next time I break it i'll have to check that out.
@@antiherobc I think it’s also called a “Clavicle Brace” since Googling “x brace” could bring up a bunch of other unrelated stuff. Lets hope there isn’t a next time though! Take care of yourself Wayne and keep up the great work! 🤙🏼
Hey does the x brace need to be in direct contact with the broken clavicle?
Cheers dude,I broke mine twice and am going in again in 3 days to get a plate put in.The only concern I have is the sleeping and you nailed it,the couch and a pillow,infact lots of pillows saved my life the last time's, I'm hoping this time won't be as bad as its corrective surgery and I hope the doctor will give me adequate pain suppression. P.s is that a Cape Town accent I heard,been there twice,beautiful country, be 🙏 Will
Broke my 4th Rib, Clavicle and Scapula after a motorcycle accident. Suffered a floating shoulder type of injury. Hope everybody experiencing something similar makes a full recovery ❤ Great video!
Got in a fight 3 days ago w my bf and mine is broken. Can't afford hospital care so this is really helpful
I’m really glad I can relate to people in the comments
Heal up soon

Broke collarbone gang

How is it now I’ve been out 3 weeks and I’m trying to be back on the football field in 4 weeks if possible
@@ns_izaac1572 I'm fine now man just building muscle mass back healed up well and full range of motion about a 5 weeks after or so
I have been in constant torture for the past 3 weeks since surgery after my motorcycle crash, testing every way possible to sleep and always waking up mjd sleep and in the morning with severe pain that lasts for at least 5h that gradually fades , Right now I am testing this and I can already tell that this will be the first night I get actual sleep
I broke mine playing hockey a day ago thank you so much
Love that accent hahah
Finally getting surgery on my right collarbone and my right ankle tomorrow, hope i can sleep better after that
Thanks. I hope you heal up soon
I'm 48 now....45 when it happened.....I was amazed at how well my body was ok with being broken and unuseable on one side (just favour it as appropriate). No consistent pain or anything while it was broken. (yes I had some meds) ....Sure it hurt in spasms to test the joint at first....drying off after a shower was challenging.......and getting socks on was a bitch...but overall....it was not a big deal if you could give yourself the time to heal. My bone was loose and broken for at least 2 weeks....but then started to heal rather quickly. My shoulder now is about 1/2" closer inward and forward..but otherwise, no real problem. I'm really good at predicting barametric changes now..... Cheers bro. Your body is smarter than you....Trust it.
totally
I wanted to ask you whether your clavicle was a displaced fracture or did the ends of the break pretty much line up. Mine is displaced and my doc is saying that he wants to see if these two ends can somehow find each other and start knitting together. I have my doubts 😕 It's been 2 weeks now and my pain level is way down and my range of motion is pretty good considering. I'm hoping that I follow your pattern and it starts healing quickly from here on out.
@@rdmanzo6691 Mine was broken in 3 pieces. They were not lined up in the strict sense but the zig zag pattern I saw on the X-ray somehow became one again. The two ends were far apart but the broken piece in the middle kind of ran in a line to the both broken ends. I remember it taking about two weeks before it felt like it actually started to reconnect. There is definitely a bump where it healed and was actually fairly pointy but has rounded since. It’s certainly not straight but it is healed. I wonder if the broken piece in the middle became part of the healed joint or if it dissolved away due to not having a blood supply or something. I also remember the pain not being that bad either. If in doubt go see the doc and get an X-ray. I would say it sounds pretty similar to my experience. Cheers and good luck.
@@metricdeep8856 Thank you for your response, it's much appreciated. I feel better now with the direction my doc is taking me, using a more conservative, non-surgical approach. Even though I'm "old" in his eyes (56 now) I'm still pushing as though I'm 30. I had my 2 week follow up x-ray today and the bones are exactly at the same spot as the day I broke them. I just want to be able to heal up and have the same, or nearly the same, strength and flexibility I had before. It's hard to believe that the gap between the 2 ends are going to be bridged. Thanks again for your feedback.
Broke my left Clav 12 hrs ago and feel pretty lousy. Pain meds are working and really appreciate the sleep/couch advice. I have trouble sleeping sitting up and not face down on my stomach. Next 2 months are gonna suck!
@SOAKER _GODZ06 ok.. its been almost 7 weeks and im pretty much better. All pain is gone and just hoping the 2 bones are bonding together well. I get my next xrays in 3 weeks or so. Get comfortable and lock down that arm/shoulder. It just takes time. Good luck.
thanks! just found out you can actually text in that same position as well! sending love!
Perfect!
Finallly a video i can relate to...from the bottom of my hear....thank u sir.....ive been recovering for 3 weeks....and also. Didn't do surgery.....suffered nerve damage aswell....all this is truly traumatic.... Best wishes

It's painful no doubt about that..just as it says it would be..
I'm looking at it as a cup half full...I didn't break my arm as I fell...no opportunity to "roll" the fall which I normally do...so...no arm break I'm actually pretty happy...now 2am talking to some random guy about sleeping with it!
Perfect timing...thanks man!!!

I broke mine yesterday it barely hurt, but it feels weird.

Great to hear!
Thank-you.. For the sleeping positions... I broke my Collar bone too..
How are you now bro? I just broke mine 3weeks ago.
I broke my collarbone my ribs and my hip bone my left side is all broken
I broke my collarbone and it never felt the same. Even after healing and giving it time to repare itself. I need surgery to fix this problem now. Make sure from the jump you start taking your healing seriously and remain laying down with a figure 8 strap on. Maybe if I would’ve done that the first few weeks my bone would’ve healed better. But now it feels so weird and shorter too. I hate this shit so much😞.

As literally lyin in bed with a broken clavicle
Me too it’s horrible
Everyone’s sharing what happened to them so why don’t I?
I was at my church group I go to (I’m 15) and we were playing a game where you sit in chairs in a circle and hit a ball around try to prevent the person in the middle from grabbing it, otherwise the person who hit the ball last goes in the middle, so it’s pretty harmless.
HOWEVER, if you are the last one to touch the ball and it goes outside of the circle, you and the guy in the middle chase after it, and whoever gets the ball can sit, and the other guy takes the middle. This happened to me, so aI rushed for the ball, and I tripped onto my side, and the other guy landed on my side and crushed my elbow into the ground, and I felt a tense “pop” near my neck and elbow. Next thing I know paramedics are there, then they put me in a temporary splint, my dad comes and we go to the ER, where they then took 3-4 hours to give me a splint and pain meds. I can barely walk without getting paranoid that my collarbone is gonna do something rn, but it is only day 1. Cya internet
Sir, I am speaking from Bangladesh. Sir, my collarbone was broken 3 months ago. When I went to the doctor, the doctor put me on a support belt and told me to go after 30 days. I will report it after I go.
