A member asked:
I broke my clavicle 9 days ago, and im wondering after how long until its ok to stop wearing the sling around my house?

I usually tell : People 1-2 weeks if it is minor. Usually when the clavicle stops hurting at rest. It is ok to stop wearing it around the house. Would still wear it when you are out and about.
