How Can A Fractured Clavicle Bone Be Treated?
Hi , I fractured my clavicle about a little over 6 weeks now which was November 20. I feel very little to no pain at all in the area it was fractured. The doctor said I could start lifting after a total of 6-8 weeks. Do you know what exercises I could do as of now that help strengthen my muscles like pushups or something? (I have 10 pound dumbells at home just in case)
