How To Treat Intense Collarbone Pain Caused Due To A Fracture?
My collarbone is broken in three places. It s been one month and two days. I still hear it popping and I get unbearable pain when moving around without it for a while. I m also noticing a pin like stick while sitting and having it down but doing small things like tying on my iPad. I m 63 years old. Is this all normal still at this stage?

Clavicle fracture healing may take 2 or more months. But regarding pain it may be because you have just started moving your shoulder after some immobilization. And i also assume you hadn't started mobilization against orthopedic doctor's advice! Gradually pain will wean off. But for your satisfaction and for a routine check up visit any nearby orthopedic doctor.
