sarah99 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I broke my collar bone just over 2 weeks ago and was given a slng to wear. I've been wearing it at all times as advised and im not really in any pain now. The doctor has advised me to wear it constantly for 3 weeks then begin to remove it for short periods of time for a further 3 weeks when I will then be seen again. However some people have said I should be seen before 6 wks to check it's all healing ok and since I plan on returning to work after 5 wks. I've looked on the net but as always, information is conflicting! Any advice?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucyjackson Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I snapped my collar bone a week before i gave birth to my child, as soon as the pain was not so bad i just used it as normal, that was 16 years ago and have never had any bother with it since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
