Need tips for someone recovering from a fractured clavicle?

Clavicle fracture: Use a sling for comfort. Avoid lifting your arm overhead until cleared by your surgeon. Use ice for the first few days and use pain medication as neededd.

Patience: Most clavicle fractures do well, it just takes time, usually about 12 weeks or so.
