Project M.A.M.I.L. posted:I've been getting back into it after breaking my collarbone before Christmas. I've been on a few rides but hit some hills today and man I am still very unfit. It was nice though. Broken collarbone buddy  I'm on week 6. Any advice for getting back to riding? Or is it just a waiting and PT game?

Project M.A.M.I.L. posted:Mostly a waiting game, my break was super clean but I still didn't do any riding until week 8 because it still hurt a bit and you're way more likely to re-break it if you fall again too soon. I'm almost 40 too so yeah everything kinda hurts anyway but good to know PT helps. My break was also very clean, I almost didn't go to the doctor because it didn't hurt that bad. Last time I crashed (dipshit cut a blind corner on a trail and we collided head on) I fractured my scapula and I didn't trust that shoulder for months, so I'm guessing this will be similar. The weather here is hinting that spring is coming so it's going to get harder and harder to abstain from riding soon.

Project M.A.M.I.L. posted:Ouch that sounds terrible, would you say worse than collarbone or about the same? Much, much worse. I almost didn't go to the doctor for the collarbone, I almost passed out at the scene with the scapula. Luckily a very nice passerby saw what happened and stayed with me and the dumbass who I collided with until we were both in good enough shape to walk away.

Project M.A.M.I.L. posted:How long was the recovery? I think it was about 8-10 weeks before I tried riding again. It didn't stop aching for awhile after that but the doctor and PT were encouraging me to ramp into loading that arm with more than just daily tasks. It was another 3-4 months before it felt normal strength, but even now after ~20 months it gets aggravated more easily. With the collarbone now I think I need to get a full on shoulder strengthening routine once the bone is healed.

Glad you stuck to just breaking bones, TBIs are no joke. And glad MAMIL Jr didn't get too traumatized.

amenenema posted:After years of being a curmudgeon ("no electronic shifting!" "rim brakes are fine!" he yelled at the sky) I finally went all-in on modern everything: Its so... clean. No wires or cables or nothin' I love that 1x drivetrains are making their way to road bikes. I hate tuning FDs and then trying to explain how to use them to inexperienced riders.
