Well, the collar bone is healed up but is now an inch or so shorter than it used to be, so the cartilage is going to need some time to reshape itself to fit. That's creating a bit of discomfort and some range of motion problems -- especially among the ligaments, tendons and muscles that locate the shoulder blade. Just irritating, not bad.
I've still got swelling of the shoulder and chest and still some bruising so that's causing some problems with my left arm, but that's really just minor irritation.
The insurance guy from Workmans Comp just called as I was typing this. He wanted to know why I hadn't gone to therapy for my back injury (slipped and fell at work -- three discs damaged) and I had to explain that I couldn't do the exercises required for physical therapy until my shoulder healed up. He seemed a bit unhappy about that...
I guess it's like everything else: it all works out for the best if you let it.
