medical report

****None of the images are MY xrays, there are just similar to my injuries.


went to real doctor, got xrayed and here is the official report

clavicle broken into 3 pieces - left side

not my xray, but kind of like this


minimum of 4 fractured ribs - left side


fractured and sprained index finger - right


sprained bone in foot - right


My only external injuries are some spots on forehead the got rubbed against helmet interior and a 2" * 3/4" abrasion on right leg between calf and knee.

I had on helmet (face shield got ripped off in crash), jacket, gloves, and boots. Only missing equipment was wearing jeans without my usual overpants on top, otherwise wouldn't likely have scratch on leg!

Doc said the shoulder is likely to take 6 month for complete healing!
Off work until next visit (Nov 29)

Sitting around house all days is making me crazy already, can't stand a long time because ribs.

I have the exact same injuries that you do. I crashed up near Carlos, TX, on Jan. 6th, 08. I went to the doctor today, and the clavicle is not healing much, and I have very limited arm movement when trying to raise my arm, and pain in the shoulder joint most of the time.Good luck with you healing, guess it just takes time.
