A member asked:
I broke my clavicle 5 days ago and honestly it hurts, but not too much. i can put clothes on pretty easily and stuff. is it healing faster than normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is normal: If you are still growing you may heal a little faster than a mature adult. Most 16 year old kids with a clavicle fracture can expect to have good callus formation and healing between 4 and 6 weeks.
